BUILDING GREEN by DESIGN

GREEN by DESIGN

Your considering building your new dream home, now it's time for the perfect plan. We will help you turn your pictures, sketches, magazine clippings, and ideas into a complete set of construction drawings. If you desire, we can also supply a smaller, economical set of "builders plans". We work with you to bring your ideas and dreams to life. We design your home using 3D Architectural software, that allows us to show you, near picture quality renderings, of your plan as it is developed. We offer two programs, the PREMIER-PLAN and the BASIC-PLAN. With both plans we will include the options for building your home GREEN. We encourage you to browse the BUILDING GREEN section of our web-site for a list of reasons to consider building green.

This option is for those who just need a basic set of plans.
(check with your architectural review committee, bank, and/or contractor before selecting this option.)
