Question
Paul -

We are in hurricane country and have a new concept for "hurricane" homes. I need to find blue prints that are in increments of 4 feet. Where do I go on the Internet for them, please?
I need  plans for the lower to middle income homes.

Thank you so very much.

Rosemary:
First, please accept my appology for a delayed response; I missed your message due to a technical email problem.  Very sorry.
This sounds like a very worthy endeavor.
I have done a brief web-search on your behalf, but was not able to turn-up any pre-drawn plans for sale that are specifically on a 4' module.
I did notice one site; http://www.homeplans.com which says it will draw custom plans for you to your specifications.  So this might work.  This is not an endorsement; I have never done business with them before.  But, I hope it helps.  Good luck.
