Finding the perfect plan for your new home isn't always easy, but we have some suggestions on how to narrow down your search. First if you're going to be financing your new home talk to a local banker or mortgage company to find out how big of a loan you will qualify for. Second, consider your living needs and family lifestyle. Are you newly married? How many children do you have? Will there be

Dreaming of building a new home someday, but not quite ready? It's never too early to start the planning process. In fact, making a list of what you like about your current home and what you would like to change is a great way to get started. We also recommend starting a folder where you can store pictures and ideas during your research. You never know what you might come across and tearing it

Over the past few years, there has been a shift in the building industry, especially with the rise of energy costs and also because people are more careful with their purchasing decisions. New homeowners are choosing to build smaller homes and are focusing more on quality and energy efficient building materials rather than size. Building a smaller home will not only save you money on building a

We highly recommend radiant heat and most of our clients choose radiant heat for their new home. Radiant heat is the most popular central heating system on the market today. So what is radiant heat?

This is a question we often receive from our clients and the answer is not neccessarily. Some town and counties require your plans to be stamped by a licensed engineer or architect.

There is something about a farmhouse that is familiar and comforting. Traditional style farmhouses have been around for centuries and continue to be popular today. They are not just built for farm living any more; farmhouses are being built in the suburbs and many offer an up to date floor plan to suit modern day living.

There are a lot of misconceptions about prefab homes. People often think of prefab homes as modular, large pre-built "box" sections with limited design flexibility. Prefab today is not the same as in the past. Newer prefab construction is a faster way to build and many companies offer high r-value insulation in their panelized systems. Many prefab home manufacturers offer design flexibility and

Over the past few months, we have seen a significant interest in small and energy efficient cabins. The trend for building new homes and weekend getaways is to keep the footprint small with an open layout to make the home feel spacious. Here at Energy Smart Panel, a panelized division of Davis Timber Frames, we created a line of classic cabin plans to meet the growing interest in cabins.

Many people dream about building a new home for many years before they actually do. The average time it takes for Davis Frame and eSIPS panelized home clients to build their new home is around 3-5 years. This happens more often than not; it’s never too early to start thinking about what type of home you want to build, the earlier on you research the more you will know what you want in a home

Ranch style homes were a very popular style of home built during the 1940's through the 1970's. The trend of building these style homes began out west and eventually expanded to the east coast. The trend declined after the 1970's, but now there is a growing interest in one floor living floor plans with the baby boomer generation. Our Classic Ranch floor plan offers one floor living like a

One of the first things people think about before building a new home is “how much can I afford?” Many things affect the budget including site work, the design of your new home, and the material choices you choose to finish your house. There are a few big budget items that people do not typically think about when planning for their new home. One of the biggest factors people do not think about

Many countries around the world are now incorporating geothermal heat rather than relying on fossil fuels to heat buildings and homes.

Most of the capacity is found in California, Oregon and Nevada; however geothermal energy can be used virtually anywhere.Incorporating

Typically situated not far from the barn and other outbuildings, the farmhouse was the soul of the family farm and came to stand as a symbol of self-reliance, hard work and homey comfort. The traditional farmhouse is a two-story home, typically with a central corridor and stair. Long farmers' porches along one, two or three sides were not uncommon.
