Design Tips

Make sure your designer or architect knows the local building codes, available materials, styles, climate restrictions and building costs.
Your plans could cost anywhere from $500 to $15,000 depending on the level of services you receive, make sure you know the cost and exactly what you are getting for your money.
Try to identify the style and size of the home you want to build; this will give the designer/architect the direction they need to get started.
An interior designer can contribute to the entire design process, or just do a furniture layout to check for proper spacing and traffic flow and help with interior selections.
It’s best to work with a reputable builder during the design process to receive advice on alternative products, affordability of certain design features and to monitor the overall cost through the design process.
Let a kitchen specialist complete the cabinet layout for you in the kitchens and bathrooms, it’s a free service most cabinet suppliers offer.
Make sure your front entrance and foyer are both dramatic and welcoming.
Spend the extra time arranging your master bath and closet to accomplish a functional and “sexy” layout.
Check the proportion of roof lines and dormers, type of exterior features like windows and materials to make sure they all belong to the same style you have selected.
Get your builder’s recommendation on any changes to design or materials that could save you money or improve the home, best utilization of space, potential maintenance problems, site conditions affecting the house plans, and general specifications for the building products incorporated into the house.
