At Allison Ramsey Architects, we believe great design should be within reach for everyone—no matter the budget, location, or stage of life. That’s why we’ve spent decades refining our stock home plans, ensuring they meet the highest standards of functionality, beauty, and adaptability. Every home we design is meant to be efficient, timeless, and built to last, offering a smart solution for homeowners and builders alike.
But accessibility isn’t just about price—it’s also about choice. A single home plan can inspire multiple variations, and when we create a family of plans based on a proven design, we’re giving homeowners even more ways to find their perfect fit.
What Are Stock Plan Families?
A stock plan family is a collection of home designs that share the same architectural DNA but offer different layouts, features, or styles. These variations may include:
- Size Adjustments – A plan may have versions at different square footages to accommodate various lot sizes and needs.
- Alternate Rooflines & Elevations – Changes to the exterior style allow a single floor plan to suit a variety of neighborhoods and environments.
- Modified Layouts – The same core design may offer options like an expanded kitchen, additional bedrooms, or a rearranged living space.
- Porches & Outdoor Living Spaces – Some versions may include larger porches, screened-in areas, or additional outdoor amenities.
Proven Plans, Endless Possibilities
Because our stock plans are based on homes that have already been built and lived in, we know they work. But even the best designs don’t need to be one-size-fits-all. By offering variations within a plan family, we give homeowners the flexibility to personalize their home without the cost of a fully custom design.
For example, a homeowner who loves the flow of our Old Oyster Retreat (133181) plan might prefer a version with a slightly smaller footprint or a different porch configuration, so they may be more interested in our Old Oyster Retreat (153251). A builder developing a neighborhood could select a single plan family with multiple elevation options, ensuring variety while maintaining architectural cohesion.
More Choice Without Starting from Scratch
Stock plans provide a cost-effective alternative to custom home design, but that doesn’t mean settling for a single option. By offering families of plans, we make it possible for homeowners to get exactly what they need while benefiting from the efficiency and affordability of a pre-designed home.
We’ve been offering stock plans since the 1990s, starting with our partnership with Southern Living, and for over two decades, we’ve continued to expand our collection—always with the belief that great design should be available to everyone. Our website, www.allisonramseyarchitects.com, features thousands of thoughtfully designed plans, from charming cottages to sprawling estates, with variations that allow you to choose a home that feels uniquely yours.
If you’re searching for a home that’s both timeless and tailored to your needs, explore our stock plan families—you may just find the perfect variation waiting for you.
