Remodeling/Space Planning Design
Not looking to add more square footage or additional heated living space, maybe because you don’t have the room or are just looking to update the look? We can assist you with updating your current floorplan layout without adding any additional square footage, with the advancements made in structural lumber and steel, walls can be removed and rooms opened up to create a more open floorplan. Looking to add a porch or other non heated living space such as a sunroom to freshen up the look, we can help there too!

Kitchen Design
Kitchens are the heart of today’s home’s, they are the central hub for everyday activities and family gatherings. If you are thinking about renovating your kitchen, consider hiring a professional who is skilled, believe it or not designing a kitchen is not as simple as it may seem, there is an immense amount of decisions to make, besides the cabinets, you will most likely need new countertops, appliances, floor covering, lighting fixtures, electrical, plumbing and probably some carpentry labor and installation of all these items, this can cost upwards of $30,000 or more, do you really want to trust this to someone who wears an orange or blue smock that is being paid $10.00/hr and probably has no formal education or experience in designing kitchens? There are many things to consider when designing a new kitchen besides how it will look, like how many people will be cooking, the size of the family and the amenities needed just to name a few. We have an 8 page design questionnaire that covers every detail so that we can provide you with the best design possible.

Solar Analysis
Passive Solar design has been around for many years but has become a common design practice for us since the cost of energy has risen to new highs. We have taken a new approach to this with our professional CAD software. We have the ability to show you how the sun will relate to your design at any time of the year, all in 3D!!

Rescheck Compliance
Most states only require this for new homes, it is a calculation of all insulated wall and floor space and is compared to the amount of fenetration you have, meaning doors and windows that can be a means of air infiltration. This report ensures that your home meets or exceeds today’s current R-value and U-value energy code requirements.

Project Specifications
Project specifications outline the various details of the project, they usually accompany the construction documents and cover any details not shown on the construction documents. For instance, it would list such things as type of flooring for each room, door style and finish, etc. This document is usually anywhere from 20 to 50 pages. We include this with most of our design packages.

Project Budget Guide
Our project budget guide is a quick cost calculation of your project and is designed to be used when acquiring bids from contractors. It helps ensure that you are receiving fair bids for your project. It is not meant to show an exact cost for your project but rather give you a range of what you can expect the cost to be based on the average cost of construction today.

Construction Documents
Construction Documents are the most important part of the design process as they dictate how the design will be assembled and with what types of materials. There are usually anywhere between 15 to 20 pages depending on the size of the project. We also include our own custom TWO-D DiscSM,
we developed this disc with a menu system that runs when inserted into any Windows® compatible PC, it contains your full construction documents that you can take to a local Blueprint shop or even size to letter size paper and print on your own printer!
