Get started by thinking of a design you would like and the floor plan configuration that best fits your needs. Make notes and sketches and cut pictures and take photos of all the styles and looks you like. Be sure to think about room sizes that are best for you.

Scan all of your notes, sketches, photos, pictures, room sizes and all other items and send them to us as .jpeg or .tiff at a minimum of 200 DPI resolution. IF you prefer you can just make copies and mail them to us. We will scan them (scanning fee will apply). Make sure any copies you send are clear.

When we receive all of your design ideas we will give you a fixed quote.

Once you have approved our quotation, make the deposit that is required. Typically 25% of the total fee.

We will begin by preparing preliminary floor plans to your specifications and design and send them to you.

At this time in many circumstances a structural engineer is required depending on your design and location. The cost of engineering is not included in our fee. We provide engineering drawings based on our standard details or the structural engineers recommendations. You can contract with your own engineer or we can arrange for one to look at your project at an additional cost.

Make any notes about changes or additions to the floor plans you would like and we will make the corrections and resubmit them to you for approval.

After we have an approved set of floor plans we can start on the balance of the drawings that are needed to get the plans approved in your locality. At this time another 25% payment is required.

As we progress we will be sending drawings to you for input on design and layout so we are sure you receive the house of your dreams. Be sure to make clear and specific notes about changes you would like so we can incorporate them into the drawings.

Now we have a completed preliminary set of drawings. At this time another 25% payment is required.

Finally you have a completed set of professional house plans. Be sure to do a final check to make sure the home plans are everything you want before printing. Have them printed. (we can print them and send them to you for an additional charge if you prefer). Final Payment is required at this time.

Now you can submit them to your local government for approval. Many times the local government will require some kind of correction. We will do the corrections at no additional cost to you.
