FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Most new construction working drawings are: .60 SF living for single story and .65 per SF living for 2 story. You will need to submit my preliminary plans to truss manufacturer(s) for quote and (usually) sign a Contract with them before they will release the truss Engineering data that I will need to complete plans. You will need to get Energy Calcs (normally provided my AC Contractor) , or I will refer you to a "guy" as you will also need that prior to Permit submittal. You will need Fl Product Approval data (supplied by your material supplier). as well. If you are using a Contractor, they take care of all of the ancillary stuff.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We typically exchange ,pdf data via e-mail as the design progresses. It's very convenient that way and everything is documented the whole way.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Knowledge/ experience/ common sense/ empathy. I WILL be able to help you out completely through the STRESSFUL process of Custom Home Building. I can can run "interference" between you/ Builder and can "talk you in from the ledge" during the stressful build when you and your spouse are ready to divorce and you are ready to choke out your Contractor! Once the Home is built and everything is BEAUTIFUL- You're all best of buddies again BTW!
