We provide economical design services – uniquely customized for contractors to help in bidding and sales.  Our work is informed by 30 years of hands-on building experience as a general contractor.  Our daily practice is based on a cooperation, ethical conduct and conscientious service.  We are dedicated to helping you get the job, and build it in a cost-effective way.

For those contractors who desire it, we will partner with you to craft a design-build relationship with new clients to expand your scope of work and provide cost-efficient project development.  One of our specialties is to provide beautiful 3D graphics to help close your sale.

WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE FOR YOU

CUSTOMIZED BUILDING PLANS

Accurate and relevant details.  We provide plans and elevations of exceptional accuracy that reflect real existing conditions, so you and your subs can improve your bids with confident and reliable take-offs.  Your plans can also include notes about irregular site conditions, like unusual wall thicknesses, structural irregularities, likely hidden conduits and out-of-plumb walls – things that will affect your bottom line.  Avoid over-bidding with fudge factors to compensate for imprecise plans; avoid under-bidding on plans that leave out conditions you should have known about.

Practical and Economical.    Plans designed to the level of detail to fit your needs.  They are easy to read, with practical construction details informed by years of hands-on building experience.  From simple plans for over-the-counter permits to full-fledged permit packages for zoning and planning reviews, we can provide everything you need.

HELP IN LANDING NEW JOBS

Close the sale. Close the sale with beautifully rendered 3D drawings. When clients visualize what you will build, it creates confidence in your company and product. Experience shows that customers are more ready to sign when they see their new home or remodel. Your clients will be excited for you to start work!

Keep the project in-house from the initial client contact with a design professional on you team.   Create a design-build relationship with your client to provide cost-efficient project development.   We can help you expand your scope of work by locking in the client from your initial interview through to permit ready drawings – ready for you to build.

ATTRACTIVE, AFFORDABLE DESIGNS

Smart Designs Your Clients Will Love.   We provide beautiful designs that are practical to build. For larger projects, we recommend a Design-Build format.  With our step-by-step process we will work with you and your clients to develop a design that fits your client’s needs and budget.

Free Software you and your clients can download to view & notate drawings and 3D models as the design progresses.  This team approach assures you and your client that no details will be overlooked.

Meticulous Preparation keeps potential “surprises” to an absolute minimum and allows you and your subs to develop accurate and confident cost bases for bidding.   The result is a construction contract that is a win-win for you and your client.
