CUSTOM RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
A home that starts with your life.
Your home should make sense for your household, your property, and the way you want to live. We work with you to develop the layout and exterior design, then turn the approved direction into drawings for the next stage.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
From priorities to a coordinated plan.
01 / Understand your project
We discuss your property, household, room needs, design preferences, anticipated construction budget, and timing. Bring sketches, photographs, or a simple list of what matters most.
02 / Develop the design
Floor plans and exterior concepts develop through your feedback. We consider everyday use, room relationships, natural light, privacy, and how the home relates to the site.
03 / Prepare the drawings
The agreed design becomes a coordinated drawing set. The level of detail, consultant requirements, and included services are defined in your written proposal.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR DRAWINGS
See how the parts fit together.
These examples show different ways drawings communicate a home. Your project’s drawing list and visualization services are established in the proposal.
Floor plans
Understand room sizes, relationships, and movement through the home before construction begins.
Exterior elevations
Review the appearance of each side of the home and how its materials and details work together.
Foundation information
Coordinate the building layout with the foundation system and the specialist information required for the project.
Design visualization
Explore the relationship between rooms and the overall form of the home where visualization is included in the project scope.
PREPARING TO BUILD
Know which drawing set you need.
The drawings needed for permit review and the detail useful for pricing and construction can differ. We discuss your project, location, and builder’s needs before establishing the scope.
Coordination, questions, and next steps.
Dennis Fletcher is a Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD). If your project requires a licensed architect, engineer, surveyor, or another specialist, their services and responsibilities need to be identified as part of project planning.
We can coordinate the design information with the professionals involved and address drawing questions during permitting or construction within the agreed scope. Additional services and revisions are handled under the project agreement.
PROFESSIONAL DESIGN INVESTMENT
Begin with a clear agreement.
All projects require a $1,875 initial payment. Your written proposal confirms the total design fee, included services, responsibilities, and remaining payment schedule.
Tell us what you have in mind.
Share your property information, your ideas, and your priorities. You do not need to have every design decision made before we begin the conversation.
