FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I START DESIGNING MY HOME?

Get in touch! Send an email through the CONTACT page or call my number! We will begin by talking about type of project, location, and budget. Design typically begins with a discussion about what is buildable on your property, a site visit, and a deposit to officially break out the drawing board.

WHAT IS THE COST?

Pricing will depend on each individual project but will remain between 2.4$ / Sq Ft to 7.5$ / Sq Ft for architectural plans. High square footage homes will typically fall at the lower range of the price scale, while low square footage projects such as ADUs or modular homes typically fall at the higher range.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE FINAL PLANS?

Full construction documents consist of far more than just architectural drawings. This is why stock plans you find online will not be all you will need to build! I will deliver everything you need to hand over to your contractor to be able to submit for a building permit and start construction. This includes architectural plans, structural plans from my engineer, a truss package, Rescheck (efficiency report), and a Manual J (mechanical calculations). The cost of these items in addition to architectural plans will be added to the grand total.

WHAT TYPES OF PROJECTS DO YOU DESIGN?

My design range includes modular homes, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), remodels, additions, and full custom homes, up to 15,000 square feet. I offer exclusively residential design.

DO YOU INCLUDE INTERIOR DESIGN?

My plans will provide everything that the city or county will require to grant you a building permit. When it comes to interior design and furnishing, I have a great recommendation of who you can contact to stylize the interior of your home!

DO YOU PROVIDE SAMPLES OF MATERIALS?

We will discuss what material types you prefer on your home and I will show them in the architectural plans, but ultimately you will select your exact materials with your contractor.

HOW LONG IS THE DESIGN PROCESS?

Even large homes can be completely designed and delivered in less than 10 weeks! Depending on size and level of finish, most projects take 6 to 9 weeks.

DO YOU DESIGN OUTSIDE OF UTAH?

Yes! Depending on the project I can design in nearly every state in the West. Typically I keep projects in Utah for ease of site visits, if necessary.
