Wooden Yurt Plans for permit

[Skiergirl]

Hi all- new here! We are in the process of beginning to build a 30’ wooden yurt and need help finding a plan that is available for purchase without having to buy the pre-fab kit that goes with it and that has the structural engineer stamp for our building permit. My husband was designing it on CAD himself but ran into issues and doesn’t have the time while at work. We enlisted the help of an architect “friend” who was going to charge us $15,000 to finish it and estimated the building cost to be between $300,000-$500,000- for a 30’ Yurt!!!! Yikes! It wasn’t even gold plaited. Any assistance, advice or wisdom would be greatly appreciated- thanks!
