Small house plans can be very affordable to build depending on where the house is being built and if budget-friendly home products are used in the construction of the home. The size of the building footprint also dictates how much your home will cost, as a bigger footprint requires a bigger foundation to be built. A great way to save money when building your small home is searching online for discounted products like lighting, faucets and plumbing materials.
Small house plans are budget-friendly, require less energy to heat/cool, have lower maintenance costs, and are generally save on energy costs compared to larger homes. And the smaller the footprint, the more you can save on land costs, too. This means you can invest in property in a desirable location without breaking the bank!
