Custom Home Design prices vary with the
needs of the home buyer. We offer a variety of design packages, each of
which is tailored to the exact needs of the client and the proposed improvement.
NO
OBLIGATION PRELIMINARY INTERVIEW
Mark Schmidt will visit your site, meet
with you and discuss your needs, then prepare a design cost proposal all
at no cost or obligation to you, the potential client. In the event that
you choose to accept our proposal, a retainer fee will be paid at the acceptance
of our proposal. The balance is payable in accordance with
monthly billing as design work progresses. Final billing is
payable upon delivery of the completed construction documents.
Design time varies with the needs and response
time of the individual client. Please allow ten working days for
preliminary drawings, from thirty to sixty days for client response time
and design development, and ten additional working days for preparation
of the final construction documents. Occasionally personalized residential
design requires as much as a full year to complete construction documents,
cost analysis and permit application process.
