Where to get blueprints?

[Vlad Kuzin]

I have a friend who is thinking to build a house and own a land in Seattle already. Currently he is looking for funding and banks are requesting blueprints of the house. He doesn't want to spend too much money upfront, as he is not sure if he can get the loan. Instead he is looking to get similar/approximate blueprint somewhere cheap so he can use it for funding. Once funding is approved he will go and hire designer to tweak it for his needs. What are the options to get blueprints for the new house development?

1. Buy it from builder?

2. Download it from some online library?

3. Any other method?

Any pointers to the right directions will be appreciated.

Thank you,
