When you’re exploring house plans, it helps to have one place to save your favorites, organize your ideas, and return to the details you want to review. A free Architectural Designs account also lets you save searches, request modification quotes, view the AD Guide to House Plans, and return to your reports and order details.
Here’s what you can do with your account as you explore, compare, and narrow down your options.
Keep Your House Plan Search Organized
Save Your Favorite House Plans
When a house plan stands out, click the heart icon on any results page or plan page to save it. You can open your Favorites anytime using the heart icon at the top of the site and pick up where you left off.
Organize Favorites Into Collections
Collections make it easy to group house plans based on what you’re comparing. You might create collections for final contenders, one-story plans, specific square footage ranges, or plans you want to review with your builder.
You can also share collections with a partner, family member, or client when you’d like their feedback.
Hide Plans From Your Current Results
Use the Hide feature to remove a house plan from your current results. Hidden plans remain available on your Favorites page, so you can revisit them later.
Save Searches and Receive Updates
Once you’ve selected your filters, you can save that search and return to it anytime. Give it a name so it’s easy to find later, and choose whether you’d like email updates when we add new house plans that match your filters.
