INITIAL MEETING
INITIAL MEETING
Choose the desired level of service needed.
Here we usually spend 1 hour discussing what your desires, wants and needs are for your project, dream home or building and all relevant concepts and arrangements of spaces needed as they relate to the interior and exterior of the home or building and how these wants and needs may affect your budget or require you to involve an engineer.
We will also discuss whether or not you own Land, what your overall Budget is, what Size, what Style and how many Storeys you wish to construct (i.e rancher, 2 or 3 storey, walkout or walk-in, multi-family, storage building, etc..). Knowing where you will build and knowing your land will also help with finalizing your design because land slopes, embankments, which side of the road side you are constructing on all can have an affect on the style of home or building you'd like to construct.
Come prepared and bring as much information as you can... pictures, sketches, floor layouts and any other information that you've gathered that you would like to be incorporated into the design.
Don't forget to contact your Municipal or Regional District to discuss and understand your current Zoning and Building Bylaws. These bylaws will determine such items as maximum building size, height and setback to property lines... know your restrictions before spending unnecessary time and money on something you may not be approved for!
Optional 3D modelling and interior or exterior renderings and walk-throughs should also be considered and discussed at this meeting. If your are happy with my consultation then we can proceed to the next step... Design & Drafting "Your Dream Home".
-
DESIGN & DRAFT
DESIGN AND DRAFT
Now that you understand your bylaws and your comfortable with our initial meeting, let's get started.
I will now create draft floor plans and 3D views of your building and consult with you before finalizing your design by maintaining an open line of communication to ensure you are satisfied. However, other systems, such as electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning may affect how you envisioned your overall spaces, so also consider discussing your design with your contractor.
This is also the time where you may wish or want to change window and door sizes and locations, move walls to increase or decrease room spaces, rearrange kitchen and bathroom layouts. Once satisfied, I will finalize draft drawings for final review before proceeding with creating construction drawings.
-
CONSTRCUTION DRAWINGS
CONSTRCUTION DRAWINGS & DETAILS
Now that everyone is happy with the final draft drawings, we can move onto creating your final construction drawings, which shall include your site plan, floor plans, elevations/section drawings and details as required. This is also the time where you will also want to discuss engineered floor systems and truss designs with your truss manufacturer and/or structural engineer, so they can provide any relevant engineered drawings and paperwork to compliment our construction drawings that will be required for permit application.
If you chose or wish to add-on any Optional 3D modelling and interior or exterior renderings and/or walk throughs, this would also be the time where you can experiment with material types and color options.
-
APPLICATIONS & PERMITS
APPLICATIONS & PERMITS
Now that everyone is happy with the final construction drawings and 3D modelling drawings, you are now ready to submit with your permit application.
This is also the time where you will want to provide your licensed builder and their project manager with a copy of your drawings so they can start finalizing your building materials and finish materials that fit within your budget.
We are also happy to work with you on any draft revisions to your plans prior to and during construction if it will help you and/or your contractor stay on schedule and within budget.
If you do not have a licensed builder, we be happy to recommend some quality contractors to consider who will help bring your dream to reality!
BUILD IT & LOVE IT
It all began with your vision and now you vision is one step away from becoming a reality.
Thank you for letting us be a part of your dream.
