Sketch plans and construction drawings may look similar, but they serve very different purposes. A sketch plan captures the overall vision and helps you explore ideas and compare quotes, while construction drawings provide the technical detail needed to build. Knowing the difference saves time, money, and stress during your home-building journey.

Planning a new home starts with the right design — and architect-designed Nordic sketch plans give you a solid starting point. Each plan is created by a Finnish architect and delivered in PDF and DWG formats, with scaled floor plans, elevations, and sections ready to adapt to your site, budget, and style.

Sketch plans help you compare contractor quotes, guide your architect in preparing permit drawings, and refine your ideas before full construction documents. Inspired by Finnish and Nordic architecture, these designs maximize space, light, and function.
