No where? Who the hell is going to design you a home for free?

I don't need custom engineered you ding dong. scanned plans from a pre-existing builder from lower priced developments would work.

not looking for tiny home plans, as the original post stated, 1500-2000 square foot minimal. I have 3 kids and a wife, but I can maybe use this and scale it up accordingly.

Just go onto a real estate website and filter out all the houses so it only shows ones with floor plans and your desired sq ft. Should give you a good idea of your nice cookie cutter house

You don't need "plans".
You just need to understand code.
Most are simple.

This. Most places don't even require their to be blueprints at all if its only a single story and under a certain square footage. You could get away with a set of floor plans that just show room sizes and such. Even then it the only person that would need that would be you to make materials estimations and such.

Just build the skeleton the best you possibly can. Then have county come out to inspect it and write it off as good. Or tell you what needs to be fixed.

Tbh most of the time these numnuts walk around a jobsite and look for obvious things wrong. Like staircase riser heights.. Framing on center? Fireblocks.

>>1040288
Yep.
Plans dont t matter.
Literally.
Even if you had plans, and made changes- as long as its to code you'd pass inspection.

To be fair we didn't have to pay any fees to submit plans. Only a general constriction permit and the inspection. So I guess they just don't give as shit. Its nice to live in a red state sometimes. Unless you like things like decent roads and shit.

op is just trolling can't you guys tell it is so obvious

just buy a bunch of sheds, take out outer walls as needed, and combine them

LOL. In mine as long as your outside of city limits there is no code outside of septic. Out in "the counties" you can:
A. Build a home without permission of any sort as long as you spend less than 1000 dollars or it has no foundation (floating like a shed) or skirting
B. Get a building permit.
Thats it, they dont require plans, code or anything. The electric company only inspects up to the breaker box. Septic requires approval. Can be done by the home owner though. It sucks in my area though. Super marginal, everyone has issues with leaching to the surface. The rainy season and clay soil cause it.

Yes but these threads have a way of providing good information to random people anyways.
