How to Choose the Best Floorplan.
PMHI Pre-Engineered or PMHI Custom plans? Your local PMHI dealer can help you determine which home plan approach is best for you.
You can choose from one of our 36 existing pre-engineered plans that meet or exceed current building codes. We can also modify one of our existing plans to meet your specific needs. PMHI can also produce a uniquely custom plan just for you or work with plans you may already have. While you are deciding which plan best meets your needs, be sure to consult with your PMHI representative about the construction costs associated with the different design features you would like have in your new home. Some features, like higher roof pitches or casement windows, can increase your building costs. You might prefer to use that money in other areas of your building project. It is important for you to choose a home plan that best fits your family's needs as well as your budget...and also fits your building site.
Another point you should consider when choosing a plan is its appraisal value when completed. Generally speaking, it is wise to build a home that is similar in size and quality to the other homes in the immediate neighbour hood. If the home you're building is a lot larger or smaller than surrounding homes it could have an adverse effect on your appraised value. The value of the other homes in the area will have a direct effect on your appraisal since they are used to identify the value of your new home. For more information about appraisals you can contact your local PMHI representative, a local appraiser or www.zillow.com.
