You’ve identified the ideal property and now you need to start the process of drafting your dream home. You will need to appoint an architect to assist with your plans. Hiring an architect is a fantastic way to custom design your bespoke dwelling, but it can be costly and take a long time. This is the ultimate way to realise your vision, however, appointing an architect to assist with the process can be an expensive and lengthy process.
Buy a Plan identified the need for a quick and cost-effective way of obtaining house plans and making beautifully designed homes accessible to more clients. If your timeline is tight and you would like to use your new braai this summer – Buy a plan is the perfect solution. We have finetuned the best house designs to cater to the typical home owner’s needs and wants. We take the lengthy design and approval process out of the way by showcasing beautifully designed homes in 3D images and fly-through videos. The plans have been pre-scrutinized by council and so all that is left for you to do is to submit it to your local authority and start picking your finishes. In short, the traditional method of appointing an architect and approving plans, which can take between 6 months to a year, is reduced to a click of a button. It’s as simple as that.
Appointing a professional architect can be expensive. Architectural fees are based on the project value, so for example your budget is R1 000 000 the architect’s fee is usually between 7.5% – 10% of the budget. Therefore, you will pay R75 000 – R 100 000 in professional fees if you appoint an architect to design your home. We have realised that many customers can’t afford professional fees and therefore by pre-designing and approving beautiful house plans we can reduce the cost to a fraction of the traditional fees. Buy a Plan provides its customers with all of the necessary documents to make that dream home a reality.
We offer a full set of council drawings for the fraction of the price and you have the added benefit of choosing to include drawings like the electrical plan and the digital form of the drawings to your cart. This will aid you in finetuning the budget and providing the contractor with all of the information he will require to construct the house.
Buy a Plan is purely an online shop offering the best designs and you simply pick and choose what works for your specific style and location. We love designing new homes and we constantly upload new content for you to choose from. 
We pride ourselves in quality and all of the designs have been designed and checked by a qualified architectural team. As soon as you have identified your ideal design you simply add the items you require to the cart, pay online and the documents are emailed to you immediately. We also post a full set of hard copies to your doorstep. This is the easy and quick solution you have been waiting for and we can’t wait to help you with your home building journey.
