Poll:How much are you paying for New Plan drawings (blue prints)?
I'm going to convert garage into a mother-in-law suite, granny flat, etc. (ADU's). How much are you paying to have someone (architect, draftsman, etc.) to draw up a set of plans (blue-prints) to submit to the City? It's going to either be a studio or 1bed/1bath. I just want to see how it prices out throughout the different cities. I'm in San Diego, CA and I hear it's about $10K for a simple set of drawings to send over to the City plan checker. Also, it's about 2 month lead time for approval. Is there another way around this cost? Please let me know what your experience with hiring an architect or draftsman.
