As much as you don't want to have to hire a designer, no architech will
copy someone elses plans due to copyright laws. Your best bet is to sit
down with paper and pencil and start drawing. You could also buy a
program like 3-D architech. This is a good cheap program that is easy
and forgiving. Then, take your ideas, and a list of wants and needs to
an architech. Be sure to call a bunch first for cost, they run night
and day.


Our find a good builder. Codes vary across the country, but our builder was able to take our 2300 sq ft house plan and
build straight from it...
