Design Process
The DESIGN PROCESS
We provide a builder's package survey of your existing property (property lines, topography, right of ways, etc. We set up a design meeting to go through your vision with our in-house design team.
We utilize your design inspiration to create your home's floor plan and exterior elevation - included is also interior and exterior full renderings to help visualize the home as it would be built.
Should this be something you're still interested in proceeding with, we would discuss the next steps of providing all required plans for building permit submission.
