Custom House Plans BY DESIGN
Building a home ranks right alongside a divorce, death or career change as a major stressor. Research suggests that fully half of the people who build are not satisfied with their new homes. How can you be sure you get what you want? Get it on paper. By Design's five-phase process:
Send us your sketches (no matter how rough), photos of homes you like - anything that represents your dreams. You may find it helpful to browse through By Design Stock Plans to see what you like. You'll appreciate the flexibility our electronic design capabilities afford. Once we generate house plans for you on the computer, we can help you firm up your choices - French doors vs. plain glass, alternate roof lines, etc. - by showing them in the context of your design. When to start The best months for building a home are May through September. So, it's wise to start your Custom House Plans in the fall, to be able to begin contacting builders in January. (The good ones are scheduled far in advance.) We'll help you select a builder, receive and evaluate prices and lend as much or as little assistance as you want. For example, we can brief you on the pros and cons of turnkey construction, subcontracting the home yourself or hiring a construction superintendent. What to expect Here's the process we will follow to produce your Custom House Plans and assist in your home's construction: Phase I Predesign - Information Gathering We work with you to define your needs and objectives, considering the function, character, image, space and other factors that affect how you will live in your home.
We call it brainstorming on paper, developing concept diagrams, rough sketches to detemine the general layout, form and overall appearance of your house and site. Phase III - Design Development Size, layout and character of your home and site are refined, and elements such as stairs, cabinetry, fireplaces and other built-ins are designed. Technical details, plans, elevations and sections through the house are developed to 80% to 90% completion. Phase IV - Construction Documentation Your design is translated into the technical language of the contractor. Working drawings (blueprints) and specifications detail all of the materials to be used, where they are to be located and how they are to be installed. Remaining design work is completed as all technical aspects are determined. Phase V - Supervision Throughout construction, By Design reviews the progress of the work and facilitates any changes that may be required. We answer questions, review submittals, shop manufacturers' drawings of specific elements to be incorporated within your house and assist in your final selection of finishes and fixtures. Upon completion of construction, we inspect your home to ensure that it is completed By Design. |
