Building House - Looking for House Designs and Plans

Thanks everyone for your help - it has been very useful, especially the links to the house plan web sites. My site is in Monaghan so I'll be looking for a local architect.
 
If anyone can recommend an architect (with reasons) in the Monaghan area they found provided a good quality service then I'd much appreciate it. Thanks to all contributors - a big help!!
 
Kevin,

Don't know any architechs but why not try estate agents in your area to see would they recommend someone! We're still at the stage of looking for a site in our area. Has anyone else come across the difficulty of even buying a site (such as) you have to be in need of housing, from the area within 8 mile radius etc. So much red tape! I've been looking for designs and plans too so if any one appeals please let me know.
 
Kevin pay particular attention to wall plugs, plugs, plugs everywhere. Remember this is something that you cannot add to later. Down the line you may decide to put computer elsewhere only to discover no phone jack in that place. Also read where someone took photos of pipes, wires etc before plastering for future refernce,also applies to outside cables, water pipes,oil connections...

I want to build a 4 bedroom, 2 storey house and am looking for ideas on house design and basic plans for layout. Are there any useful websites I could use to get ideas?

I've already checked out and www.ijm.ie

Thanks for any help.

Unless you are personally expert on http://www.environ.ie/en/TGD/ (all 13 parts of the Building Regulations), you should probably engage an architect.
