little late but if it helps in Florida no a engineer does not need to draw it if you are a homeowner doing the installation on a residential property not for rental or sale for at least 1yr however a licensed site surveyor must come out and do a soil peculation test and compaction test also it most be before above the water table as well as a inspection of the drainage field before installation during installation encompassing type of fill then final inspection for permit closure good luck hopefully you already had it done

Us engineers don’t charge 10k to approve plans. Probably under $1000 for drawing approvals.

Earl Ismyname I am in the process of building a 500sqft garage. Where I live, the town requires an architect/ engineer to draw and stamp the plans. I called four local architects and a draftsman who works with an engineer, all quotes were above $2000 Additionally the town required a survey less than one year old before and after the garage is built, around here that’s $6-800 for the first and $3-500 for the after build survey. When doing things within town requirements the cost adds up very quickly.

@@dennispope8160 It's understandable to a point that government get involved to protect property values and keep idiots from throwing up nonsense. I disagree with government getting that deeply involved though. The price you pay for city or states that have taken total control over your property from taxation or simply schemes to generate money for themselves. I am rural here and it's getting as bad with code enforcement and inspections on simple outbuildings. Gone are the days of just throwing up a barn or a shed without a permit being required. I built a shed a couple years ago and got hassled after the fact for not getting a permit, even cargo containers require it/temporary in rural America no less. Too bad they can't go after the dumpy homes and trailers that are cobbled on to constantly and devalue the nicer homes around here. That is what it's for, the idiots that have ruined it for everyone else....this is some of why your getting shafted with all the permitting and processes not even remotely necessary for a simple garage...just like I have to here, but on a much lesser extent. Simple unheated monolithic slabbed garage in the country should not require anyone's investigative eye when there are no setback issues whatsoever. Good luck! I like watching and researching KZbin for things, interesting to see the hoops people have to jump thru for something so simple, makes me not feel so bad for having the need for 4 separate inspections on a simple garage here in the country.

they can eat my ass

2 grand ain't shit.. sorry

Thanks for the video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Canackenzie Astounded Cure (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for building better sheds and master woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy finally got amazing success with it.

and an idiot with more money than brains would spend 90K on a garage...

@@13612 Absolutely 90 K for a garage is Crazy

@@13612 Unless that idiot is making $250,000/year, and their property is worth $1,000,000. What do you do? I was quoted $120,000 in Seattle for a 24X40.

Robert Stevenson you just don’t dream big enough, I can dream up a 100k garage in no time.

I'm building a $200+k garage. Bath and a half, Indoor and Outdoor kitchen, 3 cars with the main door being 18x8 (oversized). The garage has HVAC throughout, gas fireplace and grill etc. It's a custom house, essentially.
