Building a Cabin in the woods (Ep.1)

What happens here

The first critical step is to find a local architect to design the A-frame cabin. The architect provides a detailed layout, including plot analysis, property line setbacks, and a visual representation of the property. These plans are then sent to an engineer to verify that the designs are sustainable and meet all coding and regulations. The cost for these plans and their revisions for a 1900 sq ft build was approximately $2,200, with an additional $2,000 for engineering review.

Goal: This step involves finding an architect to design the A-frame cabin and developing detailed plans, followed by sending these plans to an engineer for approval to ensure structural integrity and code compliance.

done so this piece of land is a great piece of land specifically the location it's in it is high in the mountains it has a private Resort down the hill has a golf course there it's got geothermal pool so everything you would need to get out of town which is about an hour and a half to escape the city life to really relax in the mountains and have a great Oasis now it took quite a bit of time to prep for this moment that we're standing right now I would say about 2 months of prep work two months of research with the permitting and and and getting all the right trades in and everything else that goes along with planning a build like this we're finally here let me show you how we got to this point one of the first things you need to do is find a local architect that you like The Architects came up with a great layout they showed me my plot our setbacks from the property lines they gave me an animated version of what the property will look like and with that they give everything you might need to give to every contractor that you're hiring from the Conqueror guy to the framer to even the supplies now this part of the project what my architect charged me was $125 a square foot so if you're building roughly 1,900 ft like we are this close to came up to about 2,200 bucks for the plans and the revisions now we also have to pay an extra $2,000 for them to send these plans to an engineer to make sure that the designs that they came up with is actually sustainable and will'll pass all the coding and regulations then you
