    Do you some specific questions, or are you looking to hire a draftsman/woman to draw plans to your specs?

    Woman?

    The only thing a woman should be drafting is sandwich plans.

    What do you need?
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Seems that floor plans are tougher to find on the internet for simple layouts like I’m planning on building

    This.

    I have a friend that did something like you are talking about. There is nothing fancy about it. He built it, then put his house on the market. Once his house sold, they moved into it while they built a new house.

    Heck, I was just trying to be considerate of 'people' like yourself. If you'd rather make the sandwiches, I'm sure the men won't mind.

    Look up Beaver Creek Construction on facebook. They just finished a project exactly like you're describing.

    The county you plan to build in will dictate the type of "plans" you must submit. Some places don't read, just approve. Some places will make a PE pull his flippin' hair out.

    I've done some for guys on here. I don't love to do it. I've never been paid (I did them as favors).

    I was in the same boat as you and searched "barndominium floor plans" to find the plans I used.

    I would recommend you buy a cheap CAD program for house designs or try it yourself with Sketchup free(https://www.sketchup.com/products/sketchup-free).
