Yes! Our design team is happy to collaborate in helping you modify any plan to better suit your project needs. Our floor plan is designed to be flexible to adapt to different site conditions and local code regulations. You can also use the Construction Package and CAD files to work with a local engineer or architect to modify FRANK's design quickly and easily—though we are happy to take on those projects in-house as well.

Yes! Our Construction Package contains editable files that can be modified and customized in CAD programs with the assistance of a local designer, architect, or engineer. We can also export Sketch or another 3D format if your local engineer or architect requests it.

Furthermore, when you get the Construction Drawing Set
Package from us, we offer design consultation hours during which we double-check your local building guide and code.

Yes, we can change the foundation design to fit your project. Our standard foundation design is a Stem wall or slab-on-grade. We can always add a basement or pier foundation to your design.

We typically use a slab-on-grade or Stem wall foundation because it's cost-effective and practical in many locations and across a wide range of soil conditions.

However, FRANK can change the foundation to a basement, crawl space, and much more. Also, when we change the foundation, our designer will check your local frost depths to make sure it works. Please keep in mind that all foundation plans must be reviewed by a local engineer to meet site-specific conditions.

We have a strong and vigorous design team that can work with you on any custom design. We will be more than happy to create a special design for your specific needs. The custom design takes more time and effort. We will be happy to set up a call and discuss this on a case-by-case basis.

As part of the permit approval process, some states require that blueprints be stamped by an architect or engineer in the area. Please confirm the county requirement in your area. Also, please take note that we do not provide any stamps for our drawings.

Although not endorsed by us, our inventory is created by certified designers and is verified by qualified engineers. If your municipality requires a stamp, you will need to ask a local engineer or architect to inspect the blueprint and stamp it. If you need help finding one, we are happy to connect you with some of our trusted networks.

Our floorplans were created to meet and surpass national building regulations. All our designs comply with IBC (International Building Code).

Some states, counties, and municipalities have their own set of building rules, zoning guidelines, and codes. To ensure that the design adheres to local laws and codes, make sure to get in touch with your local building authority before starting any project. Get any necessary permissions or inspections taken care of as the building develops.

FRANK offers a free design tool online. The tool is currently in its first version. Feel free to use it and create a layout.

We are happy to set up a free design discovery call to chat about your specific project needs.

Design with Frank is a design tool and design company that provides a better way for people to design their custom homes. (We don't build.)

No, you don’t need a prefab builder. You can work with your local builder and we can provide your in-depth custom design! If you get the Construction Drawing Set Package with us, we offer design consultation hours during which we double-check your local building guide and code.

We encourage our customers to consider the mini split system, force air, and radiant floor heat. In most cases, a mini-split offers both heating and cooling, so be on the lookout for models that list a heat pump as a feature. For our plans that feature a wood or pellet stove, installing these units will provide supplemental heat in the wintertime to keep you cozy.
