Custom Home Design Process

The custom home design process takes place in 3 primary phases.

01 Schematic
Design

Objective:
Establish the overall concept, layout, and look of your custom home.

We work closely with you to translate your needs and desires into conceptual sketches and floor plans. These conceptual drawings allow you to make decisions on broad layout and style preferences before getting into the technical aspects of the home design.

DELIVERABLES:
- Site plan
- Floor plans
- Exterior elevations
- 3D interactive model (optional)

02 Design  
Development

Objective:
Refine and add technical details sufficient for builders to provide cost estimates.

This phase adds enough technical detail to the drawings for a builder to give you a preliminary build cost estimate. It serves as a valuable cost checkpoint and an opportunity to make any cost-cutting adjustments if necessary.

DELIVERABLES:
- Additional elevations
- Building sections
- Roof plans & eave details
- Detailed dimensions and material callouts

03 Construction
Documents

Objective:
Permit-ready & build-ready construction documentation as required by the local municipality.
A printed set of residential house plans

This phase produces the construction documents (also known as "working drawings") needed for your building permit application. These documents are used by the builder to prepare a build cost quote and contract. The builder will supplement these with product approvals, surveys, energy calculations, structural engineering drawings, truss drawings, and more for the complete permit application.

DELIVERABLES:
- Full construction drawings (plans, elevations, sections, details).

Getting Started

Taking the first step toward your custom home design is easier than you might think. Here’s how you can prepare for a smooth and successful design process:

A. Clarify Your Needs and Wishlist:
Our Custom Home Design Questionnaire (access below) will help you to think about the many aspects of your new home, including room-by-room features.

B. Gather Essential Information:
Start collecting important documents and details, such as your property survey, deed restrictions, HOA guidelines, and inspiration photos. Having this information ready will help us hit the ground running.

C. Schedule a Consultation
Choose a date/time for your initial project meeting. We’ll discuss your vision, goals, and answer any questions you may have about the process.
