Site specific design
Generating a site specific design is critical to the success of any custom building project. It considers all the complex variables involved so that the home can be built cost effectively while minimizing costly changes during construction.
Using off the shelf designs will usually not allow you to build your home efficiently on your property unless you have a level building site with no engineering or geo-technical issues. Site specific design considers the following:
- Site & structural engineering
- Zoning
- Architectural guidelines
- Access
- Setbacks
- Placement of septic field or well
- Orientation of the building
- Best construction practices, etc.
Changes can easily be made to preliminary plans which are then used to produce construction blueprints. These blueprints typically incorporate foundation layouts and are pre-engineered to meet structural loading requirements. They are used to obtain building permits, local engineering approvals (if required) and for construction purposes.
