Download Library

This is where template plans, construction details, checklists and other helpful building tools can be downloaded.

Template house designs can be read and modified by different low cost drawing programs.

Site tools allow you to evaluate property and design a solar and energy efficient house. Many of these kits have been compressed into downloadable files you can output on your own printer.

Plan details expand to PDF files that can be printed to scale on your own printer and added to your paper plan sheets.

Search a category of the Download Library below.

If you want to redesign or revise a floor plan, change windows and doors, or print out a preliminary materials list go to the 3DHA Plans section. These template files can be opened and modified using a simple CAD program such as...

3D Home Architect ver. 3 (about $12)
Better Homes & Gardens (version 6 or 7, about $35)

With either of these programs you can download the plan templates and rearranging walls, change the room layouts, enlarge or move windows and doors, and redo a kitchen or bathroom. You can test your layouts with interior or exterior 3D views.

These template files do not have the construction details or structural information of the paper plans, but they will allow you to work on the revise the floor plans.

Many of the files in the download area have been compressed into the .zip file format to speed downloads and reduce problems with browsers recognizing downloadable files.

To use these files, you'll first have to download them onto your computer, and then unzip them. If you don't have an unzip program, we recommend Winzip, which you can download from www.download.com

Click any link below to find files or to read a description of any specific file. From the file description page, a single click starts the download process.
