Built around your buyers
Rightsizing empty nesters, first-time families, workforce housing: define who buys from you, then design for how those people live.
Commissioned Floor Plans for Builders
Your plans are your product.
Commission a floor plan designed once by a licensed architect, and build it as many times as you need. Homes your buyers walk into and feel the difference. A story your sales team can actually tell.

The buyers with the money and the buyers with the urgency want the same thing.
Rightsizing empty nesters hold the wealth. Young households bring urgency. Both are shopping for well-designed, right-sized homes that barely exist in this market.
The builder who offers that product is not competing on price with four builders showing the same three-bedroom open concept. They are holding what those buyers came for.

One plan. Designed once. Built as many times as you need.
Talor designs a custom plan, or small family of plans, around your buyer profile and licenses it to you for repeat use across your projects.
Repeat-use licensing
Build across your lots and projects under a clear agreement. The design fee amortizes across every unit.
Variations and mirrors
Flipped versions, elevation options, and lot-fit variations keep a streetscape from reading as one plan.
Buildable documents
Talor worked as a carpenter before architecture. These drawings answer the questions framers actually ask.
A selling story
Every home carries the distinction of a design informed by the Conscious Home Design Method™.
The Economics
The math on a plan that fits.
Stock / in-house planLow up-front costCompetes on price“It's nice”Same as everyone's
Commissioned CHD planOne fee, amortized across every buildCompetes on fit“This is the one”Yours exclusively
Buyers cannot always articulate why one house feels right and another does not, but they decide with that feeling. A plan designed around how your buyers live turns that feeling into margin on every unit for as long as you build it.
How It Works
Four steps to your plan.
- 01
Builder call
Free, 30 minutes. Your market, lots, buyer, and build system. Talor will tell you directly whether a commissioned plan makes sense.
- 02
Buyer profile
Define who buys from you, then turn routines, priorities, and price point into the brief the plan must satisfy.
- 03
Design
Plan development with your input on buildability, cost targets, and construction methods. You are pricing it as it develops, not after.
- 04
License and build
Receive the plan set and a plain-English repeat-use agreement, then build it again and again.
Who You'd Be Working With
An architect who's swung the hammer.
Talor Stewart is a licensed architect with 25+ years in the industry and more than 1,000 single and multifamily residences touched and impacted through design, consulting, project management, and renovation.
Before architecture, he worked as a carpenter and woodworker. It is why his drawings answer the questions framers actually ask.
He is the author of Conscious Home Design, a #1 bestseller in the United States and seven other countries.
Questions
Clear terms. Straight answers.
Who owns the plan?
The agreement is plain English: you receive repeat-use rights for your projects under the terms we set, while the design and the Conscious Home Design Method™ remain with CHD. You will know exactly what you are getting.
Can you match our construction system and cost targets?
Yes. You are involved during design so the plan fits your crews, suppliers, and numbers, not the other way around.
We already have plans. Can you improve them instead?
Sometimes that is the right move. A plan-review engagement can be a smaller first step and quickly show what a design-first approach sees in an existing plan.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope: one plan or a family of plans, variations, and licensing terms. You will have a clear number after the builder call.
How long does it take?
The buyer profile does the deciding up front. Timeline is set on the builder call once Talor understands your build calendar.
Where do you work?
Nationwide
Thirty minutes. Bring your buyer, your lots, and your numbers.
Talor brings 25 years of designing homes people do not want to leave. If a commissioned plan does not make sense for your operation, he will say so.
