Got A Kid Who Loves To Build?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

Although I'm one of those people who enjoys looking at house plans, I bought this book for a slightly different reason. One the kidlets in my family is a 6 year old who plans to become an architect/builder when he grows up. Since this is going on the fourth year of that master plan, I think he may actually be destined for it. So for his birthday, I got this book for him as one of his gifts. He loves it! He keeps it up in his bedroom and studies the plans. When he decides to build something, he brings the book down to use as one of his "reference" books (his other main book is New Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual ). I see that he's incorporating the various floor plans now when he's building with his Legos, whereas previously he was mainly concerned with the exterior shape when building with the various construction toys he has.

So although it's a rather unusual use for this book, if you've got a construction-mad kid in your family, this book is a good choice for a gift.

Home ideas more likely

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

There are 730 different home plans in this book. Unfortunately, many of them are very similar. Same layouts, just different room placements or four smaller bedrooms instead of three bigger ones. Also, many of the "One floor" designs have stairs in them. And not just the split level or bonus room designs. And don't come here if you want a simple rectangular home. These have more corners than a chinese checkers board!

I did like some of the additional material included such as interior design, matching rooms through out the house, and my favorite, landscaping.

House plans are available to order and some even include a buildout sheet for all the materials.

For the price, I'd recommend it for someone like my self who wants to build a house but has no idea how to put all the rooms together to make a home.

Tryig to find a house with everything you want will hardly happen! The New Ultimate book of Homeplans has a variety of sq. ft. homes, suitable for any part of the country, beit CT or TX. I skimmed through the book with ease, marking each page that had a plan that seemed to suit my needs. I then narrowed my search by revisiting each page and 'deleting' the ones unsuitable for my needs.

Each page is well laid out and easy to follow, for a novice like myself. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to build a home from just over 1,000sf to around 6,000sf.

I still have to find a piece of land to build my perfect house, but at least I now have an idea as to which perfect houseplan to choose.

Perfect for House Hunting

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for fun so I can look at potential home layouts, I didnt realize that you got so much for your money. There are so many layouts to look at and get ideas from that I was a little overwelmed at first, but it defintely prepares you for when you are ready to meet with a contractor and design your own home. This will help if its your first or fifth home.

If you love home plans, this is a great collection

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2011

Verified Purchase

I own three books filled with house plans so far: 1295 best-selling, lowe's best-selling and lowe's ultimate book of home plans. All three are fantastic. High recommend. Tons of plans in great detail. Big and heavy book, but you wont find much better. Many plans also include a front view of the finished house and the pages are large enough to see the details in the plans.

My husband bought this book so he can get some inspiration for his office projects. He is really happy with this purchase because there are so many pictures and ideas to choose from. I catch him looking through the book every now and then.

Good for info/ideas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 28, 2013

Albeit this is primarily aimed at the USA in terms of plans and styles, it is no less of a source of inspiration for UK self builders....definitely recommend it as a source of ideas.
