Custom Home Design:
There
are many places to buy a set of plans
for a green home. Many websites offer
pre-made home plans, but these will not
take into account your specific site
needs. Working with the contour of the
terrain, engineers create a foundation
to conform to the land. When the
topographic plan has been made, this
simplifies the creation of the
elevations and floor plans that are most
appealing to you.
Using site photos and surveys, I can
generate CAD plans that will account for
the lot's terrain and engineering needs
so that there will be no surprises.
These plans will provide a starting
point for your dream home to come to
life. Our experience working with
building engineers will ensure your
house's plans will obtain approval. In
working with local building and planning
departments, your plans will be
walked-through to foresee any potential
problems that we might encounter ,
assuring your permit is processed timely
and to code!
Your home can be designed around a solar
package, rather than modifying existing
solar schemes, allowing your home to
take the most advantage of the
environment. The purpose is to design
the home and allow the solar areas to be
included into the architectural
treatment.
Project Management:
Buying a set of plans is only a first
step. If your needs include management
of the building project, our many years
of experience working with surveyors,
contractors and construction crews will
ensure your home is built right, from
the preliminary drawings through to the
dry-in and beyond.
There are many pitfalls that can be
avoided by having experienced oversight
of a building project. I'm well versed
in all aspects of home construction
including general construction,
electrical, plumbing as well as solar
and other green technologies.
