Developing a concept into a buildable plan
- Confirm setbacks, height, lot coverage, access, parking, and utility requirements.
- Orient glazing and outdoor rooms for daylight, shade, views, privacy, and prevailing breezes.
- Have qualified professionals establish dimensions, structure, foundations, drainage, energy performance, and life-safety details.
- Price site work, landscaping, glazing, porches, roof complexity, and mechanical systems—not only enclosed floor area.
