Pre-Approved Plan Program

There's a lot of upside!

• Curated Plan Catalog: Access a comprehensive library of build-friendly home designs, from which you can choose which to promote in your jurisdiction. These can be tailored and customized at any point.
• Local Control & Community-Focused Design: Encourage housing that fits your community’s unique character and priorities—not just what large production builders offer. This program allows you to encourage housing types that are advantageous or sorely missing from the community and promote the building of beautiful and well-built housing.
• Flexible & Scalable: Start small and expand your plan offerings as your community’s needs grow, all with minimal upfront cost. No prohibitive costs- means easy buy-in.
• Streamlined Approvals: Significantly reduce permitting times and lighten staff workload with pre-vetted, code-compliant plans.
• Empower Local Builders & Economy: Remove costly design barriers and open the door for local contractors, entrepreneurs, and citizen developers to participate—keeping investment and opportunity within your community.
• Promote Infill & Missing Middle Housing: Revitalize neighborhoods and boost tax revenue by enabling the development of ADUs, cottages, duplexes, and other much-needed housing types.
• Diverse Housing Options: Expand the supply of “missing middle” housing—improving affordability and letting local market forces organically determine demand.
• Appealing, Timeless Design: Ensure new construction is beautiful, context-sensitive, and enhances neighborhood appeal, reducing public opposition and NIMBYism.
• Improved Public Trust & Engagement: Transparent, predictable processes and attractive results build confidence in local government and help communicate with residents to build support for new housing.
