Everyone building a custom home can probably confirm that this old saying is more than true. Of course, we can confirm as well. As 2014 rolled from winter into spring, we made some adjustments to our plans. This also included minor floor plan changes.
For cost reason, we had to scale back to 8" walls (still > R30), but we stuck with the triple pane windows. The gas stove has been replaced with a pellet stove (no fossil fuel here!) and we changed the porch (12'x16' now) as well as deck design (with the exit on the south along the smaller porch). We got the final prints from our architect in May (see below).
And even those will most likely not be implemented exactly. Some updates we already know about, and I am asure that there will be more tweaks as we go along. But we spare you with all the minor modifications and present the "official" plans as we handed them to our builder:

| Main (First) Floor |

| Ground Floor |

| Elevations |
