1. Client Consultation
Every project begins with a conversation. Meet with Dennis and Justin to discuss your needs, the styles you like and admire, your budget, and your day-to-day lifestyle. This information is the foundation for your future custom home design.
2. Site Visit
Not every home design requires a site visit, but in many situations, our team visits the site to understand the surroundings and characteristics of the lot or land. This influences the design, assists in capturing the greatest views, and helps in achieving the best possible curb appeal when the home is complete.
3. Preliminary Design
We create a hand-drawn preliminary design, including floor plans and front elevations, and then meet with you to discuss and review. This is when your project really starts to take shape! We invite your feedback and integrate your thoughts into design revisions.
4. Additional Revisions
Most of the time our preliminary designs meet and exceed our clients’ expectations. If there are additional factors that influence the design or changes that need to be made, we use this time to fine-tune the design before proceeding to full construction documents.
5. Construction Documents
At this stage, you receive completed construction documents – everything you need to build the house. Customers give these finished plans to builders to get accurate estimates regarding cost and construction time frames.
6. Plan Completion and Construction
If cost estimates, or the builder’s input, require any modifications we’ll make those at this stage and publish new construction documents. After that, it’s time to build your dream home!
