Craftsman details drawn to be built, not just rendered.
Max Sr. framed houses for years before he ever drafted one. That shows up in the craftsman details — the brackets carry real load, the tapered columns sit on pedestals thick enough to trim out, the rafter tails are blocked out where the framer needs blocking. 35 years on job sites before a line gets drawn.
Buy a plan and you can call the designer when your builder wants to value-engineer the porch columns down to a 6x6 post. Most of the time, a two-minute conversation keeps the craftsman in the craftsman.

Buyer’s Guide · 4-minute read
Before you buy a craftsman plan,
check these four things.
i
Read the front porch first
A real craftsman has a full-width or near-full-width front porch, at least 7 ft deep, with tapered columns on stone or brick pedestals. If the “craftsman” plan you’re looking at has a skinny stoop and two faux columns, it’s a craftsman-flavored box, not the real thing. Every plan on this page has a porch that reads from the street.
ii
Look at the roofline, not the siding
Craftsman is defined by low-pitched gable or hipped roofs, wide overhangs (18–30 in), exposed rafter tails or decorative brackets, and dormers that belong. Siding material is secondary — shingle, board-and-batten, lap, and cedar shake all read craftsman when the roof is right.
iii
Confirm the interior matches
A craftsman exterior can wrap a generic interior. The three details that carry most of the interior feel are box-beam ceilings in the public spaces, built-ins flanking the fireplace, and wider trim with a built-up cap. Ask the designer which of those are drawn in and which are a framing-only option that your builder fills in later.
iv
Budget for the detail work
Craftsman details cost money to build right. A true tapered column with a stone pedestal is more expensive than a 6x6 post. Exposed rafter tails require blocking and finish work the framer doesn’t do on a spec house. Tell your builder early which details are load-bearing for the look — don’t let them value-engineer the craftsman out.
Frequently asked · Before you buy
Questions we get every week.
What makes a plan actually craftsman?
A craftsman plan is defined by a low-pitched gable or hipped roof, wide eaves (18–30 in) with exposed rafter tails or decorative brackets, a full-width front porch with tapered columns on stone or brick pedestals, and interior details like box-beam ceilings, built-ins around the fireplace, and wide trim. Material is secondary; the proportions and details do the work.
Do craftsman plans have to be single-story?
No. Classic craftsman bungalows are single-story or story-and-a-half, but two-story craftsman plans work when the proportions are handled carefully — the second story reads as dormered or as a recessed story under a continuous low roof. We draw both.
How much do craftsman details add to the build cost?
Roughly 5–10% over a comparable plain-box plan, mostly in the front porch (columns, pedestals, ceiling), wider overhangs (more roof area, more blocking), and interior millwork (box beams, built-ins, casing). Tell your builder which details are non-negotiable before they bid — don’t let them value-engineer the craftsman out.
Can these plans be modified?
Yes. Every craftsman plan can be modified by our in-house design team. Common changes: swapping siding material, adjusting column profile, adding or removing built-ins, resizing the front porch, reworking the kitchen. Modifications typically run $750–$4,500 depending on scope.
Will these plans work in my state?
Our plans conform to the International Residential Code (IRC) and ship build-ready nationwide, including Alaska and Canada. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois and California require a locally licensed engineer or architect to stamp the plans before permit submission. Check with your building department first.
