design one for yourself. think about your market. like in columbus we have infill lots at 30x120 and so we developed and designed a house for ourselves. we build the same house and continue to Make modifications. it's the only new build we offer to build for clients. that's just my opinion. architects we didn't even use we looked at national builder Floorplans and decided. our typical lot is 3000-4000 square feet that we build on
