I'm building a hot-dog stand and need help with the building plans!?

Question

I am planning on starting a hot dog stand. I wanted it to be somewhat permanent, like a small espresso stand. The thing is, I want to BUILD the actual stand, instead of paying through the teeth to buy an existing one through who-knows-where. Is there anyone that knows where I can find building plans for perhaps a similar structure? I was thinking about wood, but any type of plans would work. Any books, websites etc. would be VERY helpful. Thanks!!!

Answer 1

FIRST........Contact your City's Building Codes Department to ensure that you can erect this on the site that you want. It has to be a certain height, length and required to meet certain city codes otherwise your construction is in vain. Then you might ask a general contractor for examples of plans - usually these are complicated to obtain because SOMEONE paid for their drawing and they are not going to give it up without making some money. You can't just construct anything - it has to have running water, meet safety codes, can't be within certain meters of power lines and other important wiring that might interfere. You might be better off - buying one of those "Carts' (truck-carts). Then you'd only have to pay rental space on someone else's lot. (for example: The Hispanics have lots of those carts on other property and sell food; additionally, some Blacks have "barbeque trucks")
