How Do You Choose a House Plan for Your Lot and Your Family?
A good house plan fits the people who will live in it and the property where it will sit. Start with the bedrooms and bathrooms you need, then look at living area, porches, garage space and the number of floors.
Compare living and total square footage, because total square footage can include garages, porches and other areas under the roof. Our guides on small house plans vs larger family plans and single story vs two story house plans can help you narrow the list.

Most of our floor plans can be customized. Depending on the design, you may be able to adjust room sizes, move walls, add bedrooms or bathrooms, enlarge garages, change outdoor living spaces or select custom finishes.

for Southwest Louisiana & Southeast Texas
Choosing a home plan is one of the most exciting parts of building a custom home.

Are There Plans for Barndominiums, Retreat Style Homes or Compact Homes?
Yes. The Barndominium Library lists plans with living space, shop space and total square footage. For retreat style plans with porches, look at Lake House, Water's Edge and Riverside. Whether a plan suits a lake or waterside lot depends on the property, so ask us to review yours.
Compact plans such as Saltbox (1 bed, 1 bath, 560 sq ft) and The Nook (2 bed, 1 bath, 619 sq ft) are described on their plan pages for guest houses, weekend retreats and similar uses.
Can You Build a House Plan on Your Land?
Yes. SWLA Constructors & Development builds on your land throughout Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas. If you already own property, our team will evaluate your site and guide you through the building process.
Access, drainage, utilities, septic needs, setbacks and deed restrictions can all affect which plan works, and some need confirmation from local authorities. If you do not own land yet, ask about our portfolio of available properties. Read more on our Build on Your Land page.

We review the changes you want and tell you what may be practical for the design and your property.
3
Review Your Detailed Estimate
Carefully review your detailed estimate so you understand what is included before moving forward
4
Approvals and Financing
The homesite is evaluated, and the project moves through the permit and approval steps that apply. Financing eligibility and terms are confirmed with the lender or program.

Construction and Walkthroughs
Construction begins once approvals are in place, with a framing walk and a finishes walk along the way. Our guide to the custom home building process explains each stage.
What Should You Confirm Before You Choose a Plan?

-
Whether the plan fits your lot, setbacks and any deed restrictions

A final price and expected schedule, which depend on your selections and site
-
Permit and approval requirements for your property
-
Financing approval and terms, which are confirmed with your lender or program
