Custom West Virginia Home Redesign
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
I’m ready to move forward on a set of construction-ready drawings that take the floor plans and photos of the house (see images below included) and adapt them to my West Virginia site. The core footprint, elevations, and interior flow of that plan work beautifully for me; however, I need a few strategic changes and a full set of documents stamped for use in West Virginia.
Key modifications I need incorporated
• Garage re-configuration: delete the one-car bay and stretch the two-car side into a true three-car garage.
• Bonus room: create a finished bonus space over the new third bay that can be reached directly from the existing second-floor hallway.
• Walk-out basement: add a full-height, daylight basement using concrete-block foundation walls. The rear lot will be graded to allow exterior doors.
• Stair placement: carve stair access to the basement by reallocating square footage from the current study.
• Patio extension: enlarge the rear covered patio to 15 ft in length and support it with a two-story, inverted-V metal-roof structure so the family-room view stays open.
• Where feasible, incorporate arches into the architecture as depicted in one of the photos.
• Framing: exterior walls in 2 × 6 studs (or larger as needed for code/loads); interior partitions 2 × 4 wherever feasible.
• Roofing: specify standing-seam or comparable metal roofing throughout.
Deliverables I’m looking for
1. Complete architectural drawings (floor plans, elevations, sections, roof plan, schedules) reflecting every change above.
2. Structural details sized for West Virginia codes, including the new basement, steel beams (if required) for open spans, and the extended patio roof.
3. Foundation plan and wall sections showing concrete-block basement construction and walk-out conditions.
4. Framing plans differentiating 2 × 6 exterior and 2 × 4 interior walls.
5. Bonus-room framing, floor system and access integration.
6. Electrical, plumbing and HVAC layout updates to match the new basement and garage footprint.
7. 3D exterior renderings that illustrate the extended patio roof and metal roofing profile.
8. A drawing set ready for permitting and pricing in Mineral County, WV (IBC 2018 and WV energy code).
I can provide a topographic survey, local design wind/snow loads, and any additional site data as soon as we begin. My ideal partner is an architect or residential designer experienced in US code compliance and comfortable collaborating through a couple of review rounds to fine-tune the final package. Let me know your timeline and any questions you have so we can get started right away.
