Plan HG-1957 (1,500 Sq Ft (30x50) 2 Bed 2 Bath Duplex / Multi-Gen Floor Plan) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted duplex / multi-gen blueprint engineered around a 50'-0" × 30'-0" structural grid (1,500 sq ft base footprint, 0.6:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the STC-60 Mirrored Acoustic Party-Wall Duplex topology, this layout delivers 1,500 sq ft of conditioned residential living area and 300 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 8 distinct architectural zones: UNIT A SUITE (15'-6" × 13'-6", 209 sq ft), UNIT A BATH (9'-6" × 13'-6", 128 sq ft), UNIT A LIVING (15'-6" × 16'-6", 256 sq ft), UNIT A KITCHEN (9'-6" × 16'-6", 157 sq ft), UNIT B BATH (9'-6" × 13'-6", 128 sq ft), UNIT B SUITE (15'-6" × 13'-6", 209 sq ft). Plumbing rough-ins are consolidated across UNIT A BATH, UNIT A KITCHEN, UNIT B BATH, UNIT B KITCHEN to minimize sub-slab trenching and manifold pipe runs. Sleeping quarters (UNIT A SUITE at 209 sq ft; UNIT B SUITE at 209 sq ft) are acoustically buffered from the primary living core and positioned on exterior elevations for code-compliant egress glazing.

From a builder takeoff standpoint, the 50' clear-span width utilizes 2x6 exterior + double-stud insulated acoustic party wall bearing on 160 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~176 framing studs/posts) and 158 linear feet of interior partitions. The 5:12 architectural shingle or standing seam metal hip/gable requires approximately 1,820 sq ft of roofing material (22 roofing squares), while the monolithic concrete slab w/ dual sewer/water stub-outs pours at an estimated 28 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

Frequently Asked Questions • Plan HG-1957

Building costs, foundation specs, egress & CAD customization questions

How much does it cost to build the 50x30 1,500 Sq Ft (30x50) 2 Bed 2 Bath Duplex / Multi-Gen Floor Plan (HG-1957)?

Based on current national residential construction data for duplex / multi-gen structures, the dried-in structural shell for Plan HG-1957 (1,500 sq ft base footprint) ranges from $60,000 to $76,500 ($40/sq ft baseline). A complete turnkey build—including the 28-yard concrete foundation, 158 linear feet of interior framing, MEP rough-ins for 2 bath(s), and interior finishes across 1,500 sq ft of heated space—ranges from $224,000 to $273,000. Use the interactive Regional Cost Multiplier on this page to adjust for your local labor market and owner-builder sweat equity.

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 1,500 sq ft 2-bedroom layout?

Plan HG-1957 features 8 architecturally solved spaces inside its 50' × 30' footprint: UNIT A SUITE (15'-6" × 13'-6", 209 sq ft), UNIT A BATH (9'-6" × 13'-6", 128 sq ft), UNIT A LIVING (15'-6" × 16'-6", 256 sq ft), UNIT A KITCHEN (9'-6" × 16'-6", 157 sq ft), UNIT B BATH (9'-6" × 13'-6", 128 sq ft), UNIT B SUITE (15'-6" × 13'-6", 209 sq ft), UNIT B KITCHEN (9'-6" × 16'-6", 157 sq ft), UNIT B LIVING (15'-6" × 16'-6", 256 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.

Can this 50' × 30' floor plan be built with post-frame, red-iron steel, or 2x6 stick framing?

Yes. Because the outer envelope is engineered on an even 50'-0" × 30'-0" structural grid (160 LF perimeter) with clear-span 5:12 trusses, a local structural engineer or building kit supplier can adapt the blueprint for 2x6 Exterior + Double-Stud Insulated Acoustic Party Wall, conventional 2x6 stick framing at 16" o.c., laminated post-frame columns at 8' o.c., or structural insulated panels (SIPs).
