Does your area require building permits?

If you want a set of plans done, contact a local architect or plan designer/draftsperson in your location. You can start here on Houzz or google for your area.

Are you asking about prints or reproductions?

Or, are you asking for help in designing and completing the necessary drawings and spedifications?

FWIW, no one has used "blueprints" in probably the last 50 years or so, mebbe longer. There's entirely newer and more permanent technology used to produce the large (or reduced) prints needed for construction. For these, Google "reproduction of drawings for construction", and see what you get...

We live in a rural area and there are no building permits required. The only places that have any designers or draftspersons are lumber yards and we circle back around. We live in North Dakota and the only architect companies in the area are either for industrial type businesses or are associated with one lumber company only and require purchase of your materials through them alone, or they aren't interested in drawing up the plans.

Yeah, you do kinda have to invest skin in the game if you want a decent outcome. No one works for free. If a couple of thousand invested in plans is a significant barrier to you building, then perhaps you aren’t ready to build just yet.

There are online companies that will create a set of plans. Don't have any experience with them, but some of our local new home builders have used them.

Since you don't have ready access to an architect locally, I'd recommend you either look for one in the nearest big city or online, or you consider use of a stock plan.

Is there a local Home Builder Association for your area - a NAHB affiliate? If so, you can call them and ask for some referrals. You may want to look for someone within a 50 mile radius of your location on Houzz, Google or the NAHB.org websites.

I know a residential architect in Grand Forks - Scott Meland. One of the first homes he designed (in 1991 for his brother) is across the street from me.

This Houzz link gives a list of architects in North Dakota - I just glanced a little and found 3 that do residential work in Fargo, Grand Forks, and Bismarck. I think you won't have any trouble finding an architect in the stat that will work with you!

ND architects

I am about 4 hours from Bismarck and 2 1/2 from Fargo but Grand Forks is closer! I looked into Meland and google said they were no longer in business so I didn't go further! I did find their website and will definitely look into them! Thank you for the suggestion!

Never expected anyone to work for free! ;)

I also live in a rural area. We had the schematic design for our floor plan developed by an architect remotely with the understanding that we would have to have construction drawings done locally. Because it might give you some ideas, here are some of the options I found in our remote rural area with no nearby architects:

• local engineers/surveyors group (quoted us approximately $3k-5k)
• "home designer" (word of mouth indicates approximately 1k-2k?)
• drafter at a nearby manufacturing plant that does house plans on the side (very cheap from what I've heard)
• some local general contractors will also take hand-drawn plans from their customers and produce the floor plans themselves

I am not advocating for any of these approaches. Like anything, I would say you probably get what you pay for. We personally decided against using any of these, and instead are doing the construction drawings ourselves. Between my spouse and myself we have extensive engineering/construction experience, and based on the output I've seen from most of the above I was sure we could do a better job. Plus, I'm a bit of a detail-oriented control freak and we're planning to GC our own build. Therefore, it seemed like the best option for us. If we didn't have those skill sets and connections to the industry I probably would have gone with the engineering group or local designer.

Well...the OP has never responded and her/his situation is still unclear.

Is the situation:

1. Getting existing prepared plans reproduced, i.e., producing "blueprints", or

2. Designing and preparing the necessary construction drawings and specifications in the first place?

The advice for 1. is very different than the advice for 2.

Come on, OP, help us help you by clarifying your situation so we all can understand it.

Op responded twice... you may want to adjust your “ technology”.

Ulisdone, of course the OP responded twice. S/he just didn't respond to the questions which will give the most help.
