We use the following design/build process to ensure we deliver the best possible services to you on a consistent basis.

During the introductory meeting, we gather as much information as possible in order to eliminate the need for multiple meetings.

• Browse examples of our renderings, preliminaries and construction drawing sets
• Review considerations when building a custom home or choosing a stock plan
• Builder or contractor selection
• House square footage and/or budget
• Location of proposed project/review site survey
• Neighborhood architectural covenants or requirements
• Preferred style of house; contemporary, cottage style, Italian, French Country, etc.
• Floor plan preferences, locations of specific rooms
• Rambler, 1 1/2 story, 2 story, etc.
• Basement finish layout if needed
• Exterior style (pictures help a lot)
• Special requirements
• Handicap, solar orientation, special products, etc.
• Discuss the project timeline (not builders timeline) specific to your project
• Complete builders construction standards and Croix contract
• Collect deposit
• Plan for next meeting
• Establish preferred communication; Email, phone, etc.

• Review & approve floor plans and elevations
• Review & approve room dimensions
• Review & approve overall square footage
• Discuss changes (if needed)
• Review special requirements (if needed)

After all drawings have been fully drafted, a check set will be available for your review. (It will be stamped preliminary).
After the check set is approved, we will need:

• The number of sets requested, the county in which the house will be built, name and address for plans front page.
• Upon completion, the preliminary stamp will be removed and a final bill will be submitted and must be paid in full for receipt of the final drawings.
