Buying Home Plans Online

Great info. As an architect you buy stock plans for ideas.

@GTGCustomHomeBuilders - I have two questions: any idea of what it might cost to hire an architect to draw up home plans? I live in Illinois where an engineer or architect stamp is required. My second question is a home plan modification question. How much can a home be extended in the front, on the side, or in the back, without requiring a redrawing of the plans? 2feet? 3feet? 4feet?
BTW, nice video! Thank you for posting.

Why should house plan drawings cost any amount of money to begin with? we have some sites that have really good and free house plans, and I know a lot of friends of mine who built houses using many free plans, but we still see $500/$1000 house plans going strong, I believe the costs should come in when the actual project is in full swing.

Never go to an Architect unless you have a lot of money and time, it’s cheaper to find a crafting and design local company they are cheaper and most of the time they have stock plans you can pick one and modified it, most of them offer permit ready plans, that means the house plan is engineered, signed and ready to be summit it to the city. I did the process and you can save thousands doing it this way

Are you sure that you are not an architect? 🤣

It's all about the money, building a house shouldn't be rocket science and 1000 loopholes

Thanks for the info. I never even thought plans would need a local architects approval, but it makes sense. Like how in Massachusetts they require an air intake to offset an exhaust fan over the stove. Generic plans wouldn't cover that detail. I'm sure here in Arizona we probably have something a little different from other states.
