In every plan

Drawings, a budget, and a model.

A 6-page PDF

Floor plan, four elevations, a wall-and-roof cross-section, and a foundation plan, dimensioned in feet and inches with a scale bar on every page.

A priced materials list

Every line with a quantity, a unit, and a cost, grouped by foundation, framing, roofing, siding, and openings. Download it as a spreadsheet to price at your local yard.

A 3D model you can change

Open the plan in the cabin builder, walk around it, and change the size, roof, siding, or windows. Export your version when it looks right.

Common questions

About these plans.

Yes. Every plan here downloads as a 6-page PDF with no signup, no email, and no payment. You can also open any of them in the free 3D cabin builder, change it, and export your own version.

Treat them as concept drawings for planning and estimating. They are dimensioned and drawn to scale, but they are not engineered or stamped. Have a builder or engineer check framing sizes, spans, and connections for your snow, wind, and soil conditions, and confirm permit requirements with your local building department.

The shell: foundation, framing, sheathing, roofing, siding, windows, doors, porch, loft, and fasteners, counted off the plan dimensions with a 10 percent waste allowance and priced at typical U.S. retail. Labor, insulation, drywall, interior finishes, plumbing, electrical, and delivery are not included.

Open the closest one in the 3D builder and change it. Length, width, wall height, roof style and pitch, siding, foundation, porch, loft, and every window and door are editable, and the square footage and cost estimate update as you go.
