Design
A true custom home incorporates site specific design features. This means it fully considers the characteristics of the property as well as meeting building code and permitting requirements.

The first step in designing your home is to translate your ideas into a preliminary plan which can be used to develop to generate blueprints and a rough budget. Typically people start with a look or an interior layout that they like. With modern construction methods most floor-plans can be designed to match the desired exterior look.

It is essential to use skilled people to prepare your plans. A common mistake is to try and save money at the design stage. This is in fact the most crucial stage as it will affect the outcome of the project.

The cost of creating a custom design and preparing blueprints and foundation plans that can actually be used for building purposes range from $4.00 per square foot up to 10% of the entire project value, depending on the complexity of the home.
