I would take your time in this process. All of your pre planning will save time which saves lots of money. Also, I wouldn’t be so concerned with adding some sq ft if that is what you want. Cost per sq ft goes down as you build bigger, to an extent. All of your fixed costs remain the same no matter how big you build: power, water, septic, etc
Windows and doors cost money but a few extra studs and an extra sheet of drywall is extremely cheap to make a cramped house feel much more spacious. Lumber is extremely cheap right now.
However, you’re at nearly 1800 sq ft for a 3/2 which is honesty a good size.

I’ve done this a few times for myself and countless other times for clients, and I’m still drawing up the most efficient plans, but I’m getting close.

If you can post up a couple floor plans I’d definitely be interested in seeing what you’ve done. There’s infinite options online… but a few more never hurt lol

Will look into the staggered stud wall.

Hope your build is going well man!

Finally getting started, should have pilings in the ground in the next month. The sheep hunt set me back a little, but got to have priorities I guess...
Here's where we ended up, I only wanted 3/2 with no dining, but she wasn't having it.

In my experience, a lot of online plans have a lot of wasted space and silly features that are expensive. Heck even in this thread I’m seeing silly and expensive suggestions. I’m hoping to put together a builders check list in the next few months with an extremely detailed cost break down and budget minded approach. I’m at $166/ft for the below plan, that doesn’t show 760 sq ft full apt. And my 1440 sq ft garage was free.

1860 main house, 760 apartment total of: 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2 kitchens, 2 laundry rooms and a 1440 sq ft garage for under 450k

The master bedroom will be getting built in closests instead of a walk in, to open up some space, and the entry way will also have some built locker type cabinets to make use of that space.
