weeks)
Construction Documents - CD’s, are the
illustrated and written details of the
decisions made during
the Design Process and become the road map for the
construction of your
home.
The
Construction Documents are the most important document in
assuring that
your home is built the
way you want it. The more details contained in the drawings,
the more control you
have over the end product, but also the greater the
cost of our services.
Additional information equates to additional time. If we
know the Builder and his
level of knowledge and quality, then the need for some
detailing may not be as
important. If the plans are being put out for bid to
several Builders, then
the importance of enough detail to get comparable bids is
mandatory. Who is going
to build your home and the level of finish details both
inside and out should be
determined at the Programming Meeting so the information
required in the drawings
is reflected in our fees.

The Designer will send
the Client and the
Interior Designer, if
applicable a basic Millwork
and Lighting Plan to
review. The basic Millwork
and Lighting plans would
have been
created from written
notes and visuals furnished
by Client. We will then
schedule a
meeting between the
parties to mark up the
Millwork and Lighting
for completion. Designer
and Client will be
meeting and producing the
Millwork and Lighting
plans while the Construction
Documents are being
engineered.
Once we complete the
Millwork and Lighting,
the wall section details
and plan notes, and
have received the
engineering plans we will be
ready for our
architectural and engineering
review. The plans are
also ready to go to the
HOA for final approval,
if applicable and to the
city or county, if
applicable. At this time,
another 30% retainer
will be due, for a total
of 90% of the estimated
total fees.
Following our in-house
review of both the
architectural and
engineering plans and any
approval by governing
authorities and or the
HOA we will be ready to
meet with Client for a
Final Review.
