If you’re looking for a dynamite set of house plans, keep Rick McAlexander of Associated Designs in mind. Most of us in Eugene Springfield don’t know what a big deal he’s become. His design column is published in some 1,000 newspapers around the United States. And, he’s one of the nicest guys you’ll meet.

The old time builders around will recognize the name. Rick’s out on his own and has been doing exceptional design for the last 20 years. He has 5 people working for him to keep those plans rolling out. They have over 750 plans available. And, if you can’t find what you like, they’ll be happy to design a custom set, just the way you like it.

Rick tells a funny story about toilets. He says that if you want a toilet in your living room, he’ll do his best to educate you about the pitfalls of such a plan, but if it comes down to it, and that’s what you really, really want, that’s what you’ll get.

Associated Designs also offers a revision service to modify plans to fit your lot or to your other specifications. They’ll also do an inexpensive site plan and quickly too, I’d point out. They can also tell you what to expect when you apply for a building permit.

So, what’s it all cost? A study-set of plans runs about $425. and a set of building plans starts at $650. What a deal!

There are plenty of good lots in Eugene Springfield and now’s a great time to build. New construction financing is available too.
