Why You’ll Love Having an Architectural Designs Account

When you’re exploring house plans, it’s helpful to have a place where everything comes together. With an Architectural Designs account, you can save the plans you love, hide and compare designs as you go, revisit saved searches, and quickly access your orders, modification quotes, and any Cost-to-Build Reports you’ve purchased.
Here’s what you can do with your account to make your house plan search easier and more organized.
Tools That Make Your House Plan Search Easier
Save Your Favorite House Plans
See a house plan you love? Just click the heart icon—whether you’re browsing search results or viewing a plan page—to save it to your favorites. When you’re ready to browse through your favorite designs, click the heart icon at the top of the page to open your My Favorites list and pick up right where you left off.
Organize Favorite Plans Into Collections
Create collections—or groups—of your favorite house plans and sort them however you like—by style, square footage, dream-home status, or even just a list for your builder. Keep your favorite plan collections private or share them with a partner, friend, or client when you’re ready for feedback.

Hide and Compare Plans with Ease
If a plan doesn’t quite fit what you’re looking for, you can click Hide right on the plan page. It’ll disappear from your search results but stays easy to find under Hidden Plans on your My Favorites page if you want to revisit it later.
Save Your Searches and Get Updates
Narrowed down your filters and want to come back to that exact search later? You can save it, give it a name, and even check a box to get email alerts when new plans are added that match your criteria.
You can access your saved searches anytime—either through the filters tool or by visiting your My Favorites page.
Plan Smarter With Cost-to-Build Reports
When you purchase a Cost-to-Build Report, it’s stored in your account so you can access it anytime. Compare multiple reports to get a better sense of what’s realistic for your location and budget.
Track Your Orders and Modifications
From plan purchases to modification quotes, your account keeps it all organized. You’ll always know where to find what you need—no digging through emails required.
