Want Help Saving Money on Your Home Design?

You created the perfect design but are now afraid it’s too expensive to build. Instead of scrapping the whole thing, get help making it more cost-effective without compromising the design intent!

As part of our design review services, we analyze your home design and provide suggestions and strategies to optimize the design, reduce construction costs, and leave money in your wallet month after month by reducing operating costs.

Below are some ways a design review can help you:

  • Floor plan reviews – We can find ways to optimize your plans, make them more efficient, and waste less space.
  • Whole house reviews – We can provide a review of your entire project: site orientation, floor plans, building assemblies, material choices, and fixture selection for cost-saving strategies.
  • Pre-design site planning reviews – We review your site(s), site features, and potential building locations before you even start designing your home to help you optimize the location, orientation, and configuration of your home.

If you’d like more information about how we can help you make your home design more affordable, get in touch. We’d be happy to provide you with a design review.
