Computer Custom Designs

Computer designed custom building plans are being offered by 33 Payless Cashways Inc. stores including l5 Lumberjack stores in Northern California.

Using a system developed by Cadraft, a Sacramento, Ca., firm, the stores can tailor plans for houses or other structures. Original drawings, modified stock plans and customer designs are all possible with the system which uses computer technology.

Stores have about 50 plans in stock, but customers can use a special grid to sketch any changes they want. The store faxes this to the design company where they are checked for feasibility. A cost estimate is phoned back and the revised plans are delivered to the store in about a week after they receive an okay to go ahead.

A set of plans costs approximately $400 with modifications running from $200 to $700. Each plan details mechanical, electrical and planning schedules plus various elevations,

foundations, floors, cabinetry, ceiling and roof framing systems. Computer produced measurements are said to be more accurate than those on hand drawn plans.

Chris Rhodes, manager of one of the Lumberjack stores participating in the plan, expects to generate sales with the home plans. Noting that most of the people buying the plans have also purchased materials, he said, "We can stock or special order everything in them, except the heating and cooling systems."
