How to purchase the best value in the industry…
Thank You!…for your inquiry into our design and planning services. Please take a few minutes and read about our design services and the benefits of great design that are explained further on this webpage!
If you desire accurate planning that is connected to the truest meaning for the value in a “price” then you will need a portrait of those requirements in order to evaluate anything tangible, correct?
We are a resource for eliminating remorse that comes from hindsight disappointments for what better planning could have accomplished!
There is great value in proper planning and “free designs” do not offer greater value! That superficial approach is only intended to be a sales tool of which you may be paying for the “costs” of what appeared as “free”… for years to come!
Introduction
This introduction will be referencing several of our website’s linked webpages below in order to provide you with more detailed information about how to take control of purchasing more value (not being sold) on something less!
These links will further explain our focused efforts at defining your outdoor living environment expectations on your plans. Each link will be a blue bolded underlined heading of which you can “click” upon, in order to go to the subject specific appended informational.
Design Fee Basis…
Our design fee structure is based upon an evaluation of the Estimated Retail Construction Value (ERCV) for your project.
It’s important to keep in mind that detailed accurate planning doesn’t cost, it pays dividends during the process of building a project.
As well, when a project is completed the ADDED VALUE of enjoying a “grief free” easily maintainable outdoor living environment enables you to spend more quality time with your friends and family, and that’s priceless!
The truest value of such efforts are only fully appreciated while enjoying what comes from the fruits of such labor. Great planning is a laborious time consuming task but, when completed the resulting plans and specifications afford you the ability to delegate your vision, with greater confidence that your expectations are in fact obtainable.
The meaningful value from such planning effort comes from the greatest return on your investment dollars -$$$. These measurable accomplishments can be seen in achieving 1st class construction results that transition from expectations to realization!
Of course one would want to know where a “base price” for design begins, correct? The short answer is; it depends upon the desired level of planning information and the technological sophistication required to exhibit a design.
Thus, depending upon how many sheets of drawings will be necessary the cost of a design can vary. If you’s like to get more information about pricing, please give us a call at; 800 766-5259.

The Plot Plan…
We will need a copy of this document, which will provide us information referencing several important aspects of your lot i.e.;
- Building Set-Backs
- Public Utility Easements
- Lot Dimensions
- Etc..
These are things that can restrict the space available for building and this we’ll need to know prior to engaging the design process.
In order to correctly exhibit any proposed development, we must first familiarize ourselves with any of these restrictions so that the proposed development does not conflict with the officially sanctioned conditional use of the property.
