start to finish Pete was very thorough with the design and
drawings."

The "Homes For Life" Process
We do more than just draw
houses
-we take pride in creating homes.
Custom Process
Although all of our projects begin with an Initial Interview,
followed by a formal Proposal, the similarities end there.
Based on the Scope of Services checklist and the Drawing
Checklist included in each proposal, each project follows its
own unique path through the design process to completion.
This
custom process allows us to generate the drawings and details
that are needed for construction, along with any other
information that you feel is important to convey to the
builder.
Whether you need a basic set of plans, or a fully
detailed set is ultimately determined by you, although we will
recommend what we feel would be best for your situation.
