Are you thinking about building or remodeling your home?  I can provide home design consulting services that can help give your home identity and integrity.  Good design adds much more value than it costs.  Below I am listing three valuable design services you may wish to purchase.
  1. If you already have a set of plans, I can provide an expert review of your builder's plans.  This often brings up options you may not have otherwise considered.  This can save cost and add beauty and utility.   "Standard" building design features may be wrong for you. 
  2. If you are just starting and have not selected a builder or a plan, I can suggest a list of questions to help with awareness of issues many people might otherwise overlook. 
  3. If you want a custom design, I can create complete building plans individualized to your needs.  My home designs subscribe to the values of modest size, integrity of materials, careful crafting, energy efficiency, owner identity, low maintenance, and innovative aesthetically pleasing design.  I am not a builder, but I will work closely with any sympathetic builder who takes pride in craft.  I charge a modest fee for design services.  I make hand drawn and Photoshop renderings to show the look of your home and computer generated AutoCAD files and prints for the builder to follow.
