C O N C E P T U A L D E S I G N Your Home Starts to Take Form
Together we will:
Based on your design preferences, lot topography (from your site plan), and your budget, we will offer you floor plans to consider and possible elevations of your home. As we go through a "program" interview" we will begin to define room functions, relationships and sizes.
P R E L I M I N A R Y D E S I G N From concept to 'concrete'.
Once the conceptual plan is decided upon, your plan will begin to take a more 'concrete' form. This is an iterative process where we bring various design ideas to you until we have a plan that fits all of your needs and wishes.
The preliminary design, at 1/4" scale, will include all floor plans and elevations. You will be able to see exactly what your home will look like, from any angle, at any time of day...walk through each room and see what the ceiling beams will look like...look down from the balcony... Now, using our general specifications checklist, we can start to define and develop exact material specifications for your desired finishes.
At this juncture we will develop an even more detailed line item budget to validate the conceptual budget. You will know what your home will cost to build before proceeding with the final design documents.
F I N A L D E S I G N A N D B U D G E T Construction can begin!
After approval of the preliminary plans, the land planner and architect will develop the final construction documents. This includes all plan details (sections, structural drawings, lighting layouts, elevations, etc.) that will provide all information necessary to build your home.
We will gather all needed bids and material quotes from identified subcontractors and suppliers. You will see all construction costs in detail.
During these two final stages we will be discussing and deciding upon options and alternatives so you know that you have explored all the possibilities. A final review and approval of exact specifications and pricing will be done at this point, so that there are no surprises during construction.
Together we will:
- Create sketches that will meet your needs, fit your building site and line up with your budgetary requirements
- Create a line item conceptual budget for the entire project, based on size, design complexity, and site
