FAQ
Common questions
What types of projects are a good fit?
Residential projects such as new homes, additions, renovation layouts, remodels, and garage design are the best fit.
What do projects usually cost?
Most residential design projects begin around $5,000. Larger or more complex projects commonly range from $7,500 to $15,000 or more depending on scope, existing conditions, design complexity, documentation needs, and coordination with contractors, manufacturers, or separately retained professionals.
How does the process begin?
Every project starts with the project intake form. If the project is a good fit, a consultation day is typically scheduled to review the property, goals, and scope before a formal quote is provided.
Are these plans suitable for permit submission?
The goal is to provide scope-conscious residential drawing packages suitable for local review. Final requirements, approval, and any involvement from licensed professionals are determined by the local jurisdiction.
