No construction print buyers from WA in my customer list yet. I don't have any first hand experience with builders in the Seattle region, but LiveModern regional forums would be a good place to start.

I love your designs and enjoyed seeing this on HGTV. Anyone using your plans in the Seattle area/Northwest US?? We don't know how to get started on this - do you do builder reccomends, etc?

Yes, but there is no way to explain this without telling you the entire history.

They were one of the first customers to buy construction prints, and at the time I was running an introductry special for $1000, which was 300 less than the regular pricing of 1500.

1500 had been the price of the plans up until this past summer when we had a significant price increase which was introduced in the following blog post:
price increase post

As I recall, what they actually paid way back then was 800 because of an error in editing my website. Before my site launched I had been considering making the Design Prints credited against Construction Print purchases. In the end I decided not to do this as it would be hard for me to set up purchase buttons with variable pricing like this. However I missed correcting that information on one of my web pages before it launched and they pointed it out when they were making their purchase. So I honored it for them and deducted the cost of the $200 Design Prints which they had already purchased, and corrected the error on the web page.

So they were only available for $1000 for a short time several years ago, and that discount to $800 I'm afraid was never really offered. And that's the deal with that!

Yes, well its true, but there are several issues in play here, no. 1 is northwest Arkansas = low labor cost, and no.2 owner GC project themselves eliminates overhead and profit...your results may vary.

We are building a plat house in Texas and this house was what we have built off of. Looking forward to seeing it on HGTV. Of course ours looks different, built for the hot Texas heat with stucco siding and metal roofing.
Will be adding our photos to LamDesign site soon.
