The design process can be started easily once we understand your needs and desires in this special home. The list below shows some of the questions we would have in designing your home.

Give us a call and we can often get a good idea of what your needs are by phone, or contact us by email.

  • Hand drawn rough sketches no matter how rough
  • Magazine articles you have found and like
  • How many floor levels

  • Any special type of cabinetry, such as in living room or family room locations
  • Garage or carport locations and how large

This list is given to show some of the special items that might be needed to get the project started. As the work progresses we will certainly have more questions that can be answered through phone conversations or email.

I can usually produce normal plans within a 15-working day period or less depending on how quickly you can return calls or emails with answers to design questions. If I can't I won't start the project.
