Is This The Right Plan For You?
Most regret comes from buying a plan that does not suit how you actually live. Read this before you decide.
A good fit if you
- Want bedrooms and living space on genuinely separate floors
- Need 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths
- Will actually use covered outdoor space. 1,280 sq ft of this plan sits outside the heated envelope, as porch, garage and storage
- Have a lot that takes a 59'8"W x 84'6"D footprint, before setbacks and drainage
- Want a dedicated game room
- Want a dedicated library/study
- Want a dedicated ready to purchase
Probably not if you
- Need a compact build. 5,919 sq ft under roof is a substantial house to frame and finish
- Want every bedroom on one floor
- Are working with ground that will not take a 59'8"W x 84'6"D footprint
- Do not need the game room, library/study, ready to purchase. Those are part of what you are paying to build
Not sure which side you fall on? Send us your lot dimensions and how you plan to use the house, and we will tell you honestly whether this plan suits.

About this plan
About The Chartres
Chartres is one of the larger plans in the collection: 4,639 square feet of heated living space, 4 bedrooms and 3 and a half baths, on a footprint of 59'8"W x 84'6"D.
Check this against your lot first. The overall dimensions above are the width and depth of the house itself, before setbacks, driveways or drainage. It is the single most useful number when you are deciding whether a plan works on the ground you own. Send us your lot dimensions and setbacks and we will tell you whether it fits before you buy anything.
The plan is arranged over two floors, with 2,700 square feet downstairs and 1,939 square feet above. That vertical split is what lets a house of this size sit on a narrower lot than a single-storey plan of the same area would need, and it keeps bedrooms and living space genuinely separate.
Total area under roof is 5,919 square feet, of which 1,280 is porch, garage and other unheated space. That is a measured allowance rather than a lavish one, which keeps the outline compact and the build straightforward.
Also drawn into this plan: Library/Study, Game Room. Any of it can be changed. Reversed layouts, a relocated garage, an added bedroom or a reworked kitchen are all routine, and we quote modifications flat before any work starts.

What Arrives With Your Order
In the set
Foundation plan, dimensioned floor plans, exterior elevations on all four sides, roof plan, building cross-sections and wall sections, cabinet elevations, a door and window schedule, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing layouts.
We are not responsible for engineering fees required for permitting, such as high-wind engineering, structural engineering, or beam and truss sizing.
Options and add-ons
- Mirror this plan — add $75
- Plot plan — add $150
- CAD files — call the office for pricing
Plans are reviewed and emailed within one to two business days.
Every parish or county writes its own amendments to the building code, and coastal and high-wind areas almost always need an engineer's calculations. Call before you order and we will tell you what we already know about your area.

Before you order
Questions About This Plan
What happens after I order?
We email you to confirm the order has come through and to collect a few details for the title block: the name to display, the lot and subdivision or address, the city the home will be built in, and where to post the printed sets. Once we have those, your plans go out within one to two business days. You can fill those details in on the cart page before checkout and skip that step.
Can I build this plan as drawn?
In most places, yes. Every parish, county and municipality amends the building code, though, and coastal and high-wind areas almost always require a licensed structural engineer's calculations on top of the plan set. Check with your local building office before you order, and call us. We will tell you what we already know about your area.
Is the plan stamped?
Stock plans are not stamped. If your parish or county requires a seal, a local licensed engineer or architect reviews and stamps the set, and that cost sits outside the plan price.
Will it fit my lot?
The overall width and depth are listed in the specifications above, measured to the house itself before setbacks, driveways or drainage. Send us your lot dimensions and setbacks and we will tell you whether it fits before you buy anything.
Do the plans include electrical, plumbing and HVAC?
Yes. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing layouts are provided for all drawings.
Can rooms be moved, added or removed?
Nearly always. Reversed layouts, a relocated garage, an added bedroom and a reworked kitchen are routine. Moving a master suite to another floor is a substantial redraw rather than a small change. Call with what you have in mind and we will quote it flat before any work starts.
Can I get the CAD files?
Yes, but not through the website. CAD files are priced per plan because they carry different licensing, and they are usually bought alongside modification work. Call us at 225-216-2016 and we will price it with you.
How much will it cost to build?
We do not estimate build costs. That is not a service this office provides. A local builder can price the plan properly for your lot, your finish level and current material and labour rates, which are the three things that move the number most. Take the plan set to two or three builders in your area and you will get a far more reliable figure than any per-square-foot average.
