I'll try not to make the same mistakes that I did when I was younger, but I'm not great at drawing up contracts though lol. I'll probably go to a lawyer and seek help in making a good contract.

Wow, thank you all for your informative and awesome feedback. I kind of figured I was getting the short end of the stick, but I'm not registered or licensed as an architect. Kind of do it as a hobby... I first got into it after my dad got me 3d home architect in 1992 I think when it came on 4 floppys. Didn't really know what I was doing when I was trying to sell my plans at age 20, 10 years ago, I just put my trust into a builder that told me what other draftsman were usually charging.

Hello, I have a question regarding selling plans to home builders, do you usually charge a one time fee for the whole set of plans and let them build as many dwellings from those plans? Or is there a contract where the builder pays a percentage of the first price everytime they build a house off your plans? I've usually just charged a rate like 27 cents per square feet on total covered square footage, but I feel like I'm being generous due to my inexperience in dealing with home builders.
