House plans to be altered
Posted on 2/11/14 at 8:56 pm

I have a set of house plans that I really like. The plan currently is 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 2,900 sq feet living. How hard would it be to reduce the size to 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, with smaller rooms and approximately 2,500 sq feet of living space. Also, what would the cost be to alter the plans?

I don't know the answer, but you are describing my previous house almost exactly.

Depends on the architect or designer. I would think anywhere from $1 to $2 a square foot.

400 sq ft is a big number. I think you'd be better off getting rid of a bedroom.

Doesn't really matta, you gotta have it. Probably at least 3/4 the cost of the initial plans.

The company that did our plans altered them for a couple hundred bucks. Don't recall exactly, but it was fairly cheap.
Are the modifications viable? You're getting rid of a half bath, so not sure how it's positioned. Moving walls is fairly easy.

As above that should only cost a couple of hundred and is design isn't changed too much it's fairly easy to downsize.
