About Our Values for House Design

Designed for Buildability, Affordability, and Confidence

Every Mended Oak off-the-shelf plan is built around these core principles:

  • Buildable by design Straightforward layouts, simplified framing, and reduced construction difficulty.

  • Common materials We prioritize what’s available at most building supply stores and try to avoid specialty components.

  • Transparent cost expectations Materials typically run $45–$75 per square foot, depending on finish choices. 

  • DIY‑friendly guidance Our Mended Oak Difficulty Scale helps owner‑builders understand what they can tackle and when to call a pro.

  • Designed with structure in mind Several packages available for each plan from floor-plan only to permit-ready architectural and signed structural engineering plans (FL PE #81327).

Whether you’re building it yourself or hiring a contractor, our plans are designed to save you time, money, and stress.
