Online house plan retailer The House Designers is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month ! To mark the milestone, they’re offering a special one-day, sitewide 20% discount on any house plan—available Thursday, June 25th, 2026. If you’ve been thinking about building a new home, this is the perfect time to get started. In the late 1990s, the dawn of e-commerce signaled a major transition in the housing industry, shifting from mail-order catalogs and print magazines to online house plans. Recognizing the digital evolution, a group of the most celebrated residential architects and designers in the United States joined forces in 2001 to launch an online house plan company that would completely raise the bar for stock blueprints. Since its founding, the company has been dedicated to providing consumers and builders with the highest quality construction documents available, ensuring every new home is safe, secure, and built to stand the test of time. Beyond providing an unparalleled collection of home designs, The House Designers has always been committed to offering above and beyond customer service by not only guiding clients to find the perfect house plan, but by also supporting customers through their entire building journey. From the beginning and for over 25 years, the founders of The House Designers have maintained an unwavering commitment to quality, offering premier construction blueprints preferred by builders and trusted by homeowners across North America and beyond. Unlike typical stock plan resellers, The House Designers guarantees that every plan on its website includes comprehensive architectural detailing to meet strict International Residential Code (IRC) requirements. The company also provides a team of seasoned house plan advisors who help customers find the right plan for their lot, budget and lifestyle needs, and also offer expert assistance on plan modifications, understanding local code requirements and the entire construction process. Today, The House Designers' extensive house plan collection represents 70 of the most acclaimed architects and designers across North America and includes plans for every budget and vision, ranging from charming, affordable home designs to grand luxury estates. With popular specialized collections featuring premium kitchens, expansive outdoor living spaces, multifamily plans, standalone garage designs, and more, customers are able to quickly find plans that meet their needs. “It’s a big undertaking to build a new home, but it’s a lot easier when you understand the construction process and you have unlimited support from your architect and house plan provider,” said Tammy Crosby, CEO of The House Designers. “Our experienced team has helped thousands of customers with finding and modifying the right plan that meets their budget and lot, helping them to understand what their local codes require and supporting them through the entire building journey.” Over the last 25 years, customers have built tens of thousands of homes throughout the US and around the world using The House Designers’ house plans. These customers include individuals building their own custom dream homes as well as contractors building spec homes or whole neighborhoods. The House Designers became a leader in the online stock house plan industry by offering an extensive collection that caters to every type of buyer and the full range of lot and regional requirements, and they aim to continue innovating and expanding to serve future customers as trends and needs change. “For 25 years, we've helped homeowners find designs that fit their lifestyles, regardless of changing trends and market conditions to offer everything from timeless traditional designs to innovative modern and transitional house plans,” said Crosby. “As we celebrate this milestone, our commitment remains the same: helping families bring their dream homes to life.
