Self contained house plans

Introduction

If you dream of living in a self-contained house that is small and affordable, then these plans are for you!

Self contained house plans.

Self-contained houses are built to be completely self-sufficient, with their own water, sewage and power systems. They’re a great option for people who want to live in a small space but don’t want to give up the comforts of modern life.

The main properties you will find in these plans are:

Self Contained
Single Story Floor Plan
800 square feet or less.
Small lot (1/4 acre or less)

These homes are also ideal for building on a budget and they can be built by the average homeowner.

A small, self-contained house is a great choice if you want to live in a small space. These homes have a single-story floor plan and range from 800 square feet to 1200 square feet in size. They are also significantly less expensive to build than other types of homes.

The cost savings are even greater when you consider the energy efficiency of these structures. A self-contained house made with an insulated exterior wall will have much lower utility bills than an identical home built using traditional construction methods that require insulation between the framing members and sheathing. In addition, smaller homes are easier for heating and cooling systems to keep comfortable because there’s less energy required per square foot than large houses that require more equipment (such as central air conditioning) or more expensive materials (such as high-efficiency windows).

The total height of the self contained house is approximately 16 feet or less.

Self contained houses are small and compact, with a floor plan that is less than 1200 square feet in size. They are usually less than 16 feet tall.

You need to plan carefully to make the most of the space in a small house. You will need to think about how you will get rid of rubbish and greywater, how you will heat and cool your home, and how you will light your house.

In many cases, self-contained houses are built on stilts above ground level so that they can be easily accessed by wheelchair users or people who find it difficult to climb stairs.

Self-contained houses usually have some form of composting toilet as well as rainwater collection systems (for bathing), showers (for washing) and laundry facilities (for doing the wash).
