The Process
Consultation
The design process begins with our understanding your needs and goals. Don't worry about having to little, or too much information. We will help fill in any blanks or consolidate vast amounts of information so that we can craft your design.
Preliminary Designs
Once we have a clear understanding of your objectives we begin developing design concepts. Generally we start with simple floor plan outlines. These outlines help us work through the room arrangement, sizes and flow as well as overall size of the home. We provide sketches for your review and comment. Adjusting as necessary we will eventually have a floor plan that suits your needs. From there will work through the exterior elevations, again providing sketches for your review, adjusting as necessary.
Construction Documents
When we have completed the preliminary design (floor plans and elevations) we develop the construction drawings for your home. The construction drawings provide you with Elevations, Floor Plan(s), Foundation Plan, Floor Framing Plan (if any), Roof Framing Plan, Sections & Details, along with Electrical Plan.
All designs are completed using CAD software, assuring accuracy from the initial floor plan through the completed plans. We have experience with most forms of construction. Plans have been completed using conventional framing, Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF), Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), Log, CMU block as well as some more obscure methods. Foundation systems vary from region to region as well and your custom plan will be drawn to meet your requirements, whether you're building on a basement, crawl space, or concrete slab.
Participating in the design of your home is an extraordinary experience. We would be very happy to help you achieve your goals providing expert guidance; delivering quality plans for you and your contractor. Please call (541) 461-2082 with any questions or to set up a free consultation.
