Home For Builders

For builders

We’ve been drawing for East Texas builders since 1957. A lot of them have been working from our plans for most of their careers.

The working relationship

A drafting office that knows how houses actually get built here

George Bostock has kept a close relationship with area builders for decades — working directly with many of them on a regular basis, and presenting their designs in the book developed for the Parade of Homes.

That’s the practical difference. We’re not drawing in the abstract. We know which details get value-engineered out on the jobsite, which rooflines cost more than they look like they should, and what your framing crews are going to say when they open the set.

  • Members of the East Texas Building Association and the National Association of Home Builders
  • George Bostock has advised Kilgore College and LeTourneau College on drafting and design curriculum standards
  • Designs presented in the Parade of Homes book
  • Selected by the ETBA and the Zonta Club to design the 1988 Working Women’s Dream Home

What we do for builders

Four kinds of work, all of it routine for us

Spec house plans

Plans for the houses you’re building on your own lots, sized and specified for the market you’re selling into. Draw once, build repeatedly.

Plans for your clients

Send us the buyer. We’ll do the sitting-down and the revising, and hand back a set you can price with confidence — while you get on with building.

Modifications to existing plans

A plan the buyer likes with the changes they want. Flip the garage, stretch the master, redraw the elevation in a different style.

Our stock library, at your disposal

Nearly seventy years of finished plans in every size and style. If a buyer is undecided, put our library in front of them.

Remodel and addition sets

Measured from the house as it stands, so your bids are accurate and the surprises stay off the schedule.

How remodels work

A local office, not a portal

We’re on E Tyler Ave in Longview. Come by with a redline, call with a question, get an actual person who knows your last three jobs.

Let’s talk about your next one.

Whether it’s a single spec house or a run of plans for the season, the conversation starts the same way.
