Services
Custom Home Design
We create fully customized residential designs tailored to individual client needs. Our process begins with preliminary consultations to understand your vision, followed by detailed construction documents for permitting and building. Clients receive floor plans, elevations, foundation layouts, and roof plans that meet local code requirements while reflecting personal lifestyle preferences.
Stock Plan Modifications
Our pre-designed stock plans can be modified to better suit specific requirements. While exterior styles can often be adapted, structural changes depend on the severity of requested modifications. We recommend selecting plans that closely match your needs first, then working with our team to refine details while maintaining structural integrity and cost efficiency.
Residential Remodeling
We specialize in designing functional additions and renovations for existing homes. Our team develops comprehensive plans for kitchen expansions, bathroom upgrades, and structural additions that comply with current building codes. Each project includes detailed elevation drawings and construction specifications to ensure seamless implementation by contractors.
Construction Documents
Our technical documentation packages include all necessary materials for permitting and construction. Each set contains floor plans, elevation views, foundation details, building sections, and roof layouts. These documents serve as official blueprints for contractors, ensuring accurate execution of the design vision while meeting municipal approval requirements.
Preliminary Planning
We begin with conceptual discussions to establish spatial requirements and design aesthetics. This phase includes initial floor plan layouts and elevation concepts that form the foundation for final construction documents. A deposit based on square footage is required to initiate this discovery process, which helps define project scope and budget parameters.
