Custom Houses
We can help you to design your home. Shannon has designed houses for clients all over the world, in a variety of styles. She can modify your existing plans, or develop a complete design set from scratch. The finished designs are then submitted to the appropriate local, licensed professional for their review and application for building permit.
Process
We will collaborate with you to to establish preliminary room proportions, their relative adjacencies, and any special amenities you desire in your home. After the initial design consultation with the client, the process consists of the following phases:
Schematics
In this phase, we will prepare hand-generated drawings, 3D sketches, elevation drawings and floor plans to bring together the conceptual design of the residence.
Design Development
This program involves developing the hard-line aspects of the schematics on computer, and through storyboards of the interiors and external surfaces. It will also decide on the types of materials to use.
Design Coordination
SHD sends the documents prepared in the preceding phase to the appropriate licensed professional for their review to ensure that all designs and specifications comply with local building codes.
Document Administration
In this phase, SHD provides on-site inspections of interior design work-in-progress, and also reviews applications for payment per line-item from the contractors and sub-contractors at work on the project.
