Hey, I’m Jake. This is my blog about home building, house plans and other similar things. I’ll be posting entries about a variety of different subjects here from house plans to steps in the homebuilding process. I wouldn’t say I’m necessarily an authority on the subject, but I have had a fair amount of experience in the construction and home design industry. And, I’ve built several homes of my own. If you think something should be discussed here, or have any questions about the home building process that I may be able to answer [or find the answer to] let me know.
Quick Bio:
Together with Justin Ball and Jaren Taylor, Jake England was the co-founder of one of the leading online houseplans brokerage firms, The Plan Collection. The Plan Collection was started in 1999 as a method to market popular house plans Jake had designed for Jaren Taylor, a successful custom home builder. The easy to use website quickly grew and began marketing house plans for architects and designers all over the country. The Plan Collection now has over 15,000 house plans available for purchase and adds hundreds more every month. Though he no longer does custom design work, Jake continues to sell his own home designs at The Plan Collection and www.englandhouseplans.com.
