Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Aug 12, 2008 8:53 pm Im curious about the owner builder process Is it possible to buy ready made plans thus avoiding architects/draftsman. My ideal would be to view elevations and floorplans and purchase based on that Ive seen a few US websites offering this but cant seem to find any Australian sites. Re: Ready Made Plans 2Aug 13, 2008 3:18 am Hi boliver,, ther are places like ask homes, they deal with mostly owner builders as they sell kit homes from their design of which they have a few, they can just sell & supply the basic materials & design or do everything to lockup stage.
I notice some of their designs seem reasonably priced but keep in mind there is a alot it doesnt include so shop around I found them to be rather expensive when it came to supplying frame, roofing and plasterborad for my custome design but they may or may not be reasonable if using their designs. I am not sure but I think maybe nusteel also offer similar packages, could be worng there try looking for kit homes they are usually steel frame which I prefer anyway, ask is www.askhomes.com.au I didnt look much forther into this as we had our minds set on our own design so their might be a few more companies out there offering this.
