Project Consultation

Before you make a considerable investment into the design process, it’s always a good idea to establish any limitations that could potentially impact the project. Whether you’re building on an empty lot or renovating on a property where your home is close to property lines, it can be difficult to know exactly what you can and can’t do with your design.

From complete property analysis to exterior paint consultation, we’ll review your property and project so you can get the answers you need to confidently move forward – no matter how big or small the project is.

TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF YOUR PROJECT

When you know the constraints (and possibilities!) of your project ahead of time, you’re free to design as you wish within those parameters; helping to minimize the chance of any possible post-design changes due to zoning regulations.

This knowledge allows for a streamlined design process; maximizing the use of space and enhancing the property value, all while reducing stress and uncertainty. Whatever your vision for your dream home, our consultation services provide tailored advice to get you there without constraints.

The Kind of Consultation Services Can We Offer

At Design Hall, we offer two primary types of pre-design and consultation services to help you answer any questions before the project kicks off, allowing you to get started confidently.

Whether you’re looking at building your dream home on an empty lot or want to renovate your current home, our consultation services can ensure you have the answers to need.

I Onsite Analysis

Onsite Property Analysis is a consultation service where our experts review your potential property and ensure you have answers to all of your design questions, as well as to bring awareness to site factors you may not have considered. This includes reviewing maximum site coverage, setbacks, zoning regulations, and more. This allows you to have a comprehensive overview of your design options before getting started on the process.

II Exterior Colour Consultation

If you’re considering updating the curb appeal of your current home but are feeling overwhelmed by the endless array of options for colours, materials, and design styles, our exterior design consultation services are for you.

Our team of design experts will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your home’s exterior reflects your personal style while enhancing its overall value and aesthetic.

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.

How long does it take to design a custom blueprint?2023-10-03T19:50:36+00:00

The timeline to complete your custom blueprint depends on various factors such as the type of project, its complexity, the number of options we explore, and how long you need to make decisions. These factors can significantly influence the time required to complete the project.

  • On average, for a typical new home build or extensive renovation, our full process takes around 3-5 months to complete.
  • For smaller or less complex projects, on average, the full process takes around 1-2 months to complete.
  • If you are interested in drafting-only or design-only services, please inquire directly about your expected timeline.
Do I need blueprints for my project?2023-10-03T20:54:28+00:00

Blueprints are a valuable tool, often necessary to obtain permits for your project. You will need blueprints when you:

  • Plan on constructing a new permanent structure, like a home, garage, or shop.
  • Are renovating to increase your total living area. Examples include developing your basement or adding an addition.
  • Are not adding more living area, but you are extensively moving walls– or completely gutting your floor plan!

For a complete list of the items required before construction, check with your local development authority for more information.

Do you only design homes?2023-08-18T20:16:08+00:00

Design Hall provides residential drafting services. Our architectural technologist design services are also available for accessory buildings, garages, secondary suites, and other projects. Please contact us directly for more information about how we can help with your specific project.

I’m looking for the location of your office. Where is Design Hall located?2023-09-25T03:59:15+00:00

We offer our design services from two different locations:

  • Edmonton, Alberta
  • Westlock, Alberta

To provide clients with more flexibility, we have decided to bring our services directly to you. However, we do have a beautiful space for meetings available at our Westlock studio.
