Anyone have suggestions for home addition plans? Looking to build out over carport/garage area with a few rooms.

I used Mike Kabel in Denham Springs for my addition plans. Highly recommend him!

Mark Matthews is solid.

So talk me through this process...
My understanding is I would need Plans before I get quotes. I assume house plans don't have to be from true architect vs some of these guys who do house plans or is that the same?

It’s been 17yrs, but I also used Kabel and they were great. I pulled the permits myself and the Livingston permit office said that they knew the plans were good when they saw Kabel drew them.

to get a building permit for new occupied space you need a set of drawings (arch, mech, elec, plumbing, structural) stamped by a professional of record. That is usually a licensed architect who may or may not be the same person who did the drafting. You do not need a stamped set to get quotes

I spent a year designing my addition, but still had some areas I needed to work out. Kabel was great getting me to the end and and quickly made a few revisions for us too. Once we had our plans, we bid them out.
The construction part sucks while you're living in it, buy lots of wine for your wife lol
The end result was well worth it for us!
