Q: Can Beaver Mountain design a home plan that is uniquely ours?

A: Yes, of course we can!

Every Beaver Mountain home is unique. We custom craft each home individually and take pride in the fact that we offer a full service in-house design staff with over 80 years combined experience.

Although many companies say they custom design, they often offer a "standard plan" to change. We believe that your house should be as unique as you are and that you should not be restricted to modifying an existing plan. We start with a blank screen and encourage you to bring in your ideas, thoughts, and dreams. We'll take it from there.

A good place to begin thinking about your new custom home is by flipping through log home and timber frame home magazines. Tear out pictures of living spaces, roof lines, exterior looks and interior features that you like and store them in a 3-ring binder. You can also bring in pictures of your land, along with any restrictions you know of (especially if you are planning to build in a development). Another good resource is our Seasons of the Dream planning guide, which includes 39 floorplans to help inspire you!

When you work with a Beaver Mountain designer, you get individual attention. Our designers take your ideas and can help to compile those into the home of your dreams! You get to watch as your home takes shape right in front of your eyes; you may even see 3-D exteriors of your home and 360 degree views of the rooms inside!

We take the extra step to make sure that your home meets state building codes, even offering to have plans approved by a professional engineer or architect!

Best of all, at Beaver Mountain there is no additional charge for a custom design! After the preliminary drawings are finished, most people are ready to move onto the next step to get their approval drawings ordered so that they can start getting quotes from builders.

So grab your scrapbook of design ideas, your wish list, and your imagination; get ready to create your custom dream home!
