Design Process
Step
1 – We meet for an initial consultation to determine what
your design needs are. You can submit any clippings, sketches, photos
or ideas which you feel are important to the design. Lot information
is also important. A deposit of half the estimated cost of the plans
is required before I will begin your project.
Step 2 – Based on our consultation,
I will prepare a preliminary design in pdf format which I typically
email you for review.
Step 3 – After reviewing the
preliminary design, you either approve it as the final design or
you may request changes. Several consultations may be required in
order to achieve the design you desire. The preliminary design is
revised and resubmitted in pdf format as required at no additional
charge.
Step 4 – Once the design is
finalized we move into the structural design stage. These are the
blueprints for the construction of your home. Design changes at
this stage may result in additional fees.
Step 5 – Upon completion of
the full set of plans, you submit final payment and receive your
paper copy of the plans. Now you are one step closer to the home
of your dreams!

New Construction
I
truly provide custom home plans, which means plans from scratch.
I don’t have a set of floor plans for you to choose from,
only examples of custom plans I’ve done for clients. The more
information about the type of home you desire the better. Bring
me magazine clippings, sketches on napkins, or whatever can help
me to see your vision! Also, remember to bring me information about
the lot you plan to build on as this is also very important to the
design.
What’s included? The
plans I provide you with include the floor plans, foundation plan,
exterior elevations of all 4 sides of the house, sections, details,
electrical plan and a plot plan. This covers almost everything you
need for construction with a couple exceptions. Your roof trusses
will be designed and engineered by your roof truss supplier and
preserved wood foundations must be designed by a professional engineer.
What does it cost? Custom home plans are $1/sq ft for 3 sets of
plans. Finished basement plans, decks and porches can be included
in your plans at an additional cost.

Additions & Renovations
If
you like the home you’re in but need more space or a new layout,
I can help you with your addition or renovation plans.
What’s included? The plans will vary from project to project
based on the extent of your addition or renovation. As required
by the project, I provide you with floor plans, foundation plans,
exterior elevations, sections, details, electrical plans and plot
plans. Interior detailing may be required for some projects as well.
What does it cost? Addition and renovation plans are based on square
footage with a minimum cost of $600.

3D Renderings
Want to see exactly what your
space is going to look like before you even start your construction
project? I can do realistic 3d renderings of the interior or exterior
of your home. If you want to know what your new kitchen is going
to look like before you order the cabinets, or exactly how that
addition is going to fit on your home, or if you just want to see
different finishes or colors, this is a service you won’t
want to pass up!
