GREAT VIDEO !!!!
Comment from : Jasmin Monserrate

This video gave great advices But I thought it was going to give me ideas on how to save money when making/chosing a house plan Like, when desining a house plan, chose standard size windows that you can buy at any hardware store instead of odd sizes that you'll need to have someone build for you Or where to put windows in order to save on electricity bills later on Or, how different house shapes may save money on materials (ex: square has less surface to finish for same square footage than rectangle) Or the fact that wood, sheetrocks, etc, often come in 8' long, so if your house has dimensions that are multiples of 8, there should be less waste Or what different house styles cost the most and why Ex: high pitch roof are generally much more expensive Also, cathedral scissor trusses are pretty much the same price than standard trusses, but will make an incredible statement in your home, instead of 9 ft tall ceilings everywhere in the house, which is very costly, since you'll have to pay for extra wood, insulation, drywall, etc Maybe there are other videos that would give that kind of advide out there If you know some, let me know!!!

It's also worth mentioning that if you get a house plan online, some websites offer services to edit some custom ideas

I want to build a house that has a 38 x 31 footprint but was told it's cheaper to build a house that is an even number on all sides (eg, 38 x 32) Is there any truth to this or is the price difference negligible?

I just used an RTM plan provided for free by the lumber company I bought my materials from, and had them make the required changes, which included shrinking the design by almost 500 sqft Cost me NOTHING After that they had an engineer on staff that approved the plan and away we went An architect firm quoted me $5,600!

What is some good software for an amateur so that I can start working through general floor plans, materials, foundations, and other home building ideas?

I need to help my wife put on her prosthetic legs, so she uses a wheelchair in the mornings For the stock house plans, when they list the plans as "wheelchair accessible" that means that someone in a wheelchair can visit, and access the dining room and one bathroom, it does not mean that a wheelchair user can access any bedrooms I have been unable to find any stock house plans designed for a wheelchair user For this reason, we will probably need to get an architect
Comment from : Michael McMillan

Thanks for invalidating an entire profession that has played a vital role in human history Nevermind that architects and designers are privy to design concepts and products that homeowners are not Nevermind that the difference between a contractor-designed home and an architect-designed home is stark brbrGood Architects and designers pay close attention to the wish list of a homeowner and take note to include elements of a design that homeowners might not appreciate until they're living in it Like storage, path of travel, ADA and age in place requirements, energy saving insulation and improvements on the envelope, and maybe stacked closets that can be retrofitted for an elevator brbrYou know, it's hard enough to help people understand the value of a profession with historic significance But this is not helpful

You can hire a draftsman for a fraction of the price of an architect Many municipalities don’t require an architect stamp for 1 family homes

Keep in mind a good set of plans keeps the builder in line Tie the plans in with the building contract
Comment from : 2 cents worth

Building plans require footings/foundation, elevations, electrical, plumbing, etc A complete set of plans requires multiple pages It must be noted that outside of major cities what is required is less Best to talk to county/city rep Ask what is reqd Lenders are really fussy I live outside a city All the county asks for is a simple drawing for the tax assessor

Thanks for the great content you provide, if I find online plans that are close but need tweaking are you suggesting that I have the changes made by the online plan company or by a local architect?
Comment from : Richard Johnson

I am an architect and I can tell you that most of us in my area don't charge $100 to $200/hr I recently came across an article where contractors are, some contractors can charge more for design services than most architects So don't assume that architects are more expensive The design process can take time but remember you're spending lots of money to build your dream house Make sure you're getting what you pay for

General Contractor here I do my own plans as well, with an engineer This video is SPOT on!
Comment from : Aldoogie

Does an architect need to draw the plans? I have a Civil Engineering degree and I am familiarized with AutoCAD Can I draw my own plans and build? I live in Houston TX

Is it possible to implement these tips with a builder like wwwdrhortoncom/north-carolina/charlotte#?
Comment from : Alexa Jordan

Designing your own home is not as hard as some would think If you have any common sense and have taken drafting and design, art and math in school, you can do it! Now, you can't have those plans certifiedThat takes the proper licenses of either an Engineer and/or Architects, but you can draw up your basic idea for the floorplan (and elevationsWhich is also pretty easy), using 1/4 inch graph paper (1/4 inch equals 1-2 feet etc), and take them to either or, and have them do the professional drawings You just need to know how high you want your ceilings to be, and what type pitch the roof will be Do you want dormers or gables, or a hip roofLook at stock plans to see which best suites you!brbrKnowing the building codes for your area is also a big help, and that information is easy to get by contacting the local building departments, and/or researching online You'll get all the information you need concerning the depth of the footers for walls and foundations, as well as the freeze line if applicable for either basements, craw spaces or slabs, depending on the area you live, and the type home you want Armchair Builder is a GREAT Site, and Source of information (GLAD I found them) He's not trying to make you a professionalHe's helping you to become Competent in the Building Trades!!!
