You'll provide information to help establish the design criteria. Information related to the home site, neighborhood covenants, pictures, budget, or any other design elements needed to create preliminary concepts. Next, we will discuss all the information as I take design notes. This is when we begin developing the professional and working relationship that is critical to creating a beautiful, intricate design and will make our experience together enjoyable and successful.
I’ll create a floor plan and front elevation to further establish the scope of requirements. We’ll meet to finalize arrangements of the rooms, discuss the feel and content of each room. We’ll also discuss the general characters of the front elevation of your home. Then, with all the information and inputs gathered, I will digest and interpret it to create a final presentation. Once we have a final schematic, we will have a complete review establish the overall scope of the design parameters.
In this phase of our project, I’ll create scaled drawings of the site plan, floor plan, all exterior elevations, the roof plan, interior views, and the electrical plan. Next, we will review those drawings and discuss all the details, finishes, and footages. Then, I will make all the adjustments accordingly. I'll incorporate all the adjustments into working drawings for the purpose of finalizing the overall design scope. Once we agree, further changes which affect or alter the scope may require additional fees.
You have the right to consider who builds your home. I will meet them as your agent, to discuss building, design scope, and further plan details. We will discuss specifications and other construction related information to assist in establishing final construction documents. I will then create a full set of working drawings with all the information generally accepted and required by local building practices to estimate costs and start of the building project. Then you and I will sign the drawings, releasing them for estimating and/or a construction contract.
Although J Terrian Designs has no official service for construction oversight, I do make periodic visits during construction. Because I have been a construction superintendent, I understand and appreciate the process and truely enjoy watching the build process. If I observe something that seems off, or not as we discussed during design, I’ll bring it to your attention or ask builder why they changed it. I realize that some things get changed by the client or because the builder feels there is a better way to build it. If you or your builder has a new idea that requires my design involvement, please feel free to contact me. We can discuss the ideas and how much time, or fee, I might require. I feel that what I do during design is like a painter and illustrator. I take the ideas and dreams out of our heads and display them on paper. The build process is more like a sculptor taking our ideas and creating it using the materials you’ve selected. Many details and unique ideas can be discovered in the build process. Hopefully, we can all work together to make your dreams become reality.
J Terrian Designs is committed to ensuring that our valued clients are involved in and enjoying the design process. The clients’ ideas are well represented into construction. We will create lasting relationships with our clients by surpassing their expectations and gaining their trust through exceptional performance and humility.
