How much should building plans cost?

Answer 1

it all depends on the building, if its a simple house the cost is little, around 300 per set of plans, if it a one of a kind house well it can cost a bunch and also how many sets of blue prints do you need determans the cost it also depends on where you live, you may need a set for the building inspector, city hall, contractor, plumber, electriction, concrete company, if your ordering trus's the trus company may need a set, cabnet builders and if your planing to build in a sub division or planed community there committy may have guildlines you have to build by. also if your not sure what style of house your looking for lowes and Home Depot have books on house plans that are cheap you can look through and if you like a plan you can order one set and just have copys made from the one set, my advice on blue prints would be buy 2 sets, keep one set for yourself incase you need to have copys made and have one set laminated to be kept on site for all the contractors to use, buy a 4 ft 4 inch pice of PVC pipe with a cap glued on one end and a screw cap glued to the other end to keep the laminated set in to protect it from the weather
