Most of the good ones are in Lafayette or Baton Rouge. Get with Pox, I'm sure he can get you lined up with someone.

I will be looking for one in a year or two. We bought three acres off Choupique Rd near Gum Cove Hwy. Less than a year now to pay off our housenote. We have plans picked out, but we want the dimensions expanded slightly and one or two tweaks. Also, we don't know how much it will cost to build.

Micheal's custom plans are 3.50sq ft under roof is a little pricing for me. About $17000 for my plan.

Madden home design. Found them on the Internet. Nice stock plans, just a haul to talk to them, Denim springs is the loc.

I recommend going to Murphy. I buy plans from him often and he has a good selection of stock plans at reasonable prices. He also is reasonable on modifying them.

I bought a book of I think 25 plans from him for $50 a while back. It's just some 8x11 sheets with the floor plans and front elevation on them. They sell it by the sq ft size. 1000-1500sqft houses, 1500-2000sqft houses, etc.

Kabelhouseplans.com has a decent selection also...

I used half of one of their plans and half of a Madden house plan for my current house. I printed what they had online and took them to a ar****ect and then we started from that making all the changes wanted...
