Stock house plans are, by contrast, home designs which have been developed to fit the needs of a particular group of the general populace. They are not custom designed for a particular person, but rather, standardized for the needs of a larger group.
Stock homeplans normally include the "most requested" features including square footage, room dimensions, floorplan layout, amenities, and other like features. These house plans provide an excellent value when compared to the corresponding price of a set of fully custom house plans which may exceed several thousand dollars.
When you buy a stock house plan, you're not paying for the countless hours spent drawing up a plan, re-working the plan, and finalizing drafts. You're paying a reduced fee for a single re-use of that plan.
Advantages:
Significantly less expensive
Minor plan modifications can usually be made by the original designer or a local designer for a minimal charge.
Very simple and quick purchase process
Can submit the plans for a building permit the day after receiving
Disadvantages:
Not as extensively customizable
