Floor Plan Customization

Taking this room out entirely would reduce the cost by $37,000

That's not how that works

A large open room costs very little

Going to depend on the builder, and location of the game room. If it’s a custom builder, they can probably handle it. If the game room is on the second story, it makes things a lot easier.

If it’s a production builder or spec home builder, unlikely they are willing to do that. If it’s on the main floor, also unlikely because foundations and roof lines will be altered, and you’re asking for trouble without having an accurate set of plans.

The price change by cutting out that room is likely pretty close though.

You can certainly bring that floor plan to someone who does that and have them redraw it, it might be required based on where you’re building.

Hard to give much more advice based on the information given so far. Just saying redlining the foundation and roof could potentially cost you more than any savings you’d have by not having correct drawings on the job site.

Depending on where you live your going to have to have a real set of plans to get your building permit. There is a foundation drawing also that my or may not be included in a set off the internet.

Also the price per sq ft is an average of all of the materials and fixtures for the house. So while you save some money for sure that room probably isn’t incredibly expensive. Most of your cost is in the bathrooms and kitchens. It also depends on ceiling height, roof lines above it etc. I would ask around your area for a draftsman and see if you can find someone that will take the plan you have and redraw it.
