For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17

Locally-Compliant Designs: Your plans are carefully crafted to meet local building codes and conditions, helping you save money by aligning your construction costs with regional requirements.

What the "Other" Home Sites Offer
-
Limited Communication: Communication is restricted to email through the website, making it difficult to get timely responses. Changes can take weeks, and the back-and-forth process often leads to even further delays.
-
Over-Designed Plans: Your plans are typically based on the International Residential Building Code, which can result in designs that are over-engineered for your needs. This could lead to unnecessary expenses and higher construction costs.
-
Insufficient Detail in Plans: Many online plans provide only the bare minimum of details, forcing you to hire a structural engineer to fill in the gaps. This additional step can result in significant extra costs for both the engineer's time and plan stamping.
When am I not your best choice?
Wait, what? Like every designer and contractor, I have a niche where I truly excel—and mine is affordability. My focus is on designing homes that not only meet your specific needs and desires but also align with your budget. From the very start, I’ll ask about your build budget and guide your design choices to ensure the final plan is both beautiful and achievable. After all, what’s the point of designing your dream spec home if it ends up bankrupting your business?
Typically, I design homes that cost $350,000 or less to build—sometimes much less. If your vision is a sprawling 5,000-square-foot, $1.1 million home overlooking Lake Norman, I’m probably not the right designer for you. That’s simply not my niche, and there are other professionals better suited for that scale of a project.
Our Services:
Custom Residential Design & Plans
With over 10 years of design and estimating experience and 5 years of hands-on construction experience, I bring a well-rounded understanding of every aspect of building a home. I know that every 2x4, nail, bolt, and strap has a price tag attached to it, and I approach each project with that in mind. My structural details are never needlessly overdesigned—they’re crafted to be cost-effective while still meeting all safety and structural standards. Plus, every detail is guaranteed by a structural engineer.
Whether this is your first spec home build or your 100th, Beechwood Home Services can help you streamline your spec plans.

Spec Home Plan Management Services
Beechwood Home Services offers expertise in developing and managing your spec home plans library. The plans we design for you will be exclusive to your company, meaning I won't resell your spec home design to another builder. Once you’ve paid for the initial design, the plan is yours to use as often and as long as your working with Beechwood Home Services!
We’ll handle minor updates, adjust lot-specific details for each new build, and even coordinate the engineering restamp (if you choose to work with our engineers). Best of all, these updates and restamps are offered at a reduced fee, making it easy and cost-effective to keep your plans ready for your next project. And because I maintain your library of plans, they will always be up to date and can change as your needs or the market changes. Saving you money by not having to design new plans every time you want to change something.

Consultations
Unlike other designer services, when you call Beechwood Home Services, I will pick up. If I don't, leave a message and I'll call you back. My goal is to help you be successful in the spec home building business. I have 10+ years of estimating & purchasing experience. I also have project management spreadsheets for sale to help you manage your estimating and purchasing management. By accurately maintaining estimate templates for each plan, you can repeat your process and trim the fat out of each successive build. I also offer on-site consultations with a residential contractor with over 30yrs experience in the building industry. He can help you with site grading and placing of the house.
