New Home Design
The design process begins with a consultation to explore your needs and wish list along with the style, size, and budget desired. In this initial meeting, we will also discuss exterior and interior finishes. Once the first meeting has taken place, we then take all of the information given and incorporate this into the initial concept plan. Concepts are presented and we meet to review likes and dislikes. At that point the plans are revised to be exactly what the home owner wants. and the plans are sent out for bid by the contractors once the final budget is established we then can move forward with the final permit, construction plans. And your new home begins construction.
Designs With Special Considerations
Many homes have special considerations that must be incorporated into the overall plan:
- A large family often requires more bedrooms and baths or perhaps accommodations for an in-law suite or person with special needs.
- A waterfront location may require creative architectural design to accommodate more windows, specific views, or consideration for impervious surfaces.
- "Aging In Place" design considerations may require wheelchair accessible designs, no or low transitions, etc.
- Narrow lots may require creative use of limited space
RB Home Design understands these nuances and works with you to provide a home design that will meet all of your needs, but especially your vision!
Addition & Renovation Planning
This process begins in your existing home where we can review your needs and wish list, current site conditions, along with the budget for the addition and or renovation.
We begin the full measure of the existing house to establish a good baseline for the new plans. Once the existing condition plans have been completed, we start the addition / renovation plans to incorporate all of the home owners requirements into the new plans.
After review of the initial concept plans with the home owner and getting their likes and dislikes we then revise the plans to be exactly what the home owner wants. At this point we move forward to the final permit construction plans and the plans go out to the contractors for bid. Once the final budget is determined and the contractor is selected the construction of the project begins.
