New floor plan review

Jeff Cliff
  • Northern California
Posted

Hello,

I am working with a designer/planner to change the floor plan of the house I am rehabbing. This is my first time ever rehabbing a house or undertaking any major renovation/remodel work. I have a designer/planner. He is making changes I am proposing but at times I feel it would be great if he could also provide more of his suggestions as well rather than just taking orders. Anyways, I am wondering if there are any online places where people can provide suggestions based on as-built and proposed plans which would get me the best value for my money and create a nice layout for rental, resell or personal use point of view.

Thanks in advance for your response.

There are tons of plans online from sites Southern Living, home plans.com and Houzz etc. but the best bet is to talk to top realtors about trends and visit new home subdivisions to see what the builders are doing as they are up with current trends.
