Tomorrow, I have an appointment with the draftsperson out at the lot. We will talk about drawing the plans for the house. I have the floor plan drawn in SketchUp. The point for hiring him is to have approved plans for the county. Mucho dinero but there is no getting around this. The county requires plans signed off by a licensed engineer, architect, etc.
My question is how much detail do I need to provide? I know the design elements I'd like in terms of doors, windows, and roofing material. And colors. Does he need all that? The point for asking the question is to not add to his already hefty fee if I can avoid it. They never tell you how you can save money, only how you can spend it, and the more the better for some reason.
