Best-Selling Duplex Plan
Why is Ranch Style Duplex Popular Plan 45347 our best-selling duplex design? Firstly, buyers want to save money on construction costs. The simple footprint is a breeze for building. As you know, time is money. Several units can be constructed in a short amount of time. In addition, simple building materials expedite the process. Do not worry about custom orders at your building supplier. Wood or vinyl siding and brick is easy to come by. Secondly, buyers want to save money on maintenance costs. Do you need to replace some of that siding? No problem! Repairs are fast and easy when you're working on a one-story building.
Thirdly, 2 bedroom housing is appealing to a large category of renters. People in all stages of life are in the market for 2 bedroom homes. For example, young couples who are just starting out only need 2 bedrooms. They might use the extra bedroom for an office/guest room. Other tenants who may be interested include the following: short-term renters, retired couples, and those who are on a budget. Not to mention, this 2-unit design is an excellent option for an Airbnb or Vrbo property if you live in a popular destination.

Previous Q & A
Q:In preparing my documents for neighborhood plan approval I realized that the rear and side elevations from the web site for plan 45347 are blurry. Could you please provide these in the format you provided for the front and right side? Also, could you please provide the maximum ridge height?
Q:Hello, are you able to provide a flat front elevation? My neighborhood requires plan preapproval. Also what is the max ridge height? Cost for unlimited or additional build license? Thank you.
A:Hello, the ridge height is 10’ 4.5” from the ceiling joists. An additional build license is $325 and you wouldn’t need to purchase the plans again. We don’t offer an unlimited build license. Also, we aren’t sure what you mean by flat front elevation. We have cut sheets with the elevation and the floor plan on our website. Thanks
