For most of us… building a home is the biggest financial investment we will make in a lifetime.
First time home builders can hardly imagine how challenging and complex the process of building a home is until they are in the middle of a project. Dealing with restrictive covenants, building codes, zoning ordinances, contractor choices, & design options, etc. can be overwhelming.
When you are considering a new home or addition, a qualified residential designer is your best choice to guide you through the design/building experience.
No doubt you’ve collected photos about homes you like and have clear and definite ideas about what your dream home should be. But that is just the beginning….
A good designer listens to your ideas for your home and will visualize space within the proposed design and then explore that space with you to ensure it meets your needs and desired expectations. In addition to considering aesthetic issues; form, scale, and balance; structural design and code requirements must also be taken into account.
As your design evolves, a residential building designer will also suggest innovative products and materials that would be appropriate for your new home and may even assist you in selection.
There are no two projects completely alike, and that is true for residential building designers as well. Each will approach design in their own way and may offer different levels of service beyond planning & design.
