Our Process & Approach
Having a custom home designed is an exciting process, but many clients are unsure about where to begin. Engaging with an architectural technologist for design assistance is an important step. It’s also one of the earliest decisions clients will have to make to turn their vision into reality.
A good team is the foundation of any successful design project. At Design Hall, we value our clients and contractors and are here to offer support during your design journey.
POWER OF EDUCATION + OPEN DISCUSSION
We love it when our clients bring in ideas, inspiration, and dreams. It’s our brand promise that we will incorporate our client’s visions of their perfect build into the end result. It’s our role to listen and provide professional input in any areas we think could cause problems, while incorporating as much inspiration as possible from our clients.
Our years of experience in home design have reinforced the importance of working closely with clients, contractors, and home builders to create beautiful homes that are built to last.
Design Process
I Initial Consultation
The process begins with a complimentary appointment to go over the details of your project in depth. This provides the opportunity for both parties to understand what goals you have for your ideal home, discuss finer details, and ask any initial questions. At the conclusion, Design Hall will provide a tailored quote within 2-3 business days.
II Conceptual Design
Taking all the ideas and information from the consultation, we develop an initial concept for your review, including floor plan layout and architectural styles. From here, the design is refined through creative collaboration until all aspects are perfect. During this process, Design Hall not only offers our expertise, but ensures all design solutions are fully visualized and understood before moving onto the next project phase.
III Blueprint Drafting
As soon as the conceptual design is set, the next phase is for Design Hall to create the final construction set of drawings for the build. This process involves adding all the needed notes, dimensions, and technical information required for your contractors and trades. The end result is extremely high-quality home plans that effortlessly translate into a functional, beautiful home.
IV Post-Design Support
Although the design process might be finished, our door is not closed. We’re happy to make plan-related revisions to engineering or permitting requirements. We’re also happy to provide recommendations or guidance for other professionals you may need to engage with. And if you have any questions after the design is complete, we’re happy to provide clarification.
Flexible Consultations
Your life is busy. We understand that it’s a challenge to balance your work, your family, and your passions, which is why we offer flexibility for all consultations and meetings. You have the option to meet us in the Design Hall office or we can come to you. Select evening and weekend appointments are also available for all stages of our design process.
