My wife and I are looking to build a house on a tight budget. There are
plenty of web sites that offer plans, but I want to see a material list so
we can price out the house and see if its affordable for us. ALl the
sites I've seen want you to buy the plans to get a material list of some
of the sites offer material list for $75. We would go broke buying all
the plans we like to get a material list.

The plans makers figure they would go broke supplying all the info with no
commitment. Consider alternatives to traditional stick built homes. If you
are on a budget, you can save a bundle on energy cost for the life of your
home. Check out insulating concrete forms (ICF's) from places like
www.standardicf.com www.polysteel.com www.integraspec.com I think you
may find them easier to get information for what you need.
