Custom Home Drafting

Custom home drafting services are essential if you need innovativeness and specialized skills. We offer home drafting services at Sterling Custom Watson Collective, focusing on creativity, client, and collaborations. Our services start with you having a clear plan followed by us guiding you to achieve your dream home.

Home design drafting gives you access to custom home designs, drafting services, and remodeling designs. With such services, you'll be able to select what suits your various needs and budget or the best building materials for your home. We strive to simplify the custom home design process into eight simple stages.

1. Drafting of the Contract

In this initial stage, you'll have the opportunity to know us in greater depth. After that, we will draft a contract for your consideration on-site and begin designing your house, guided by a sketch. We will proceed upon your approval.

We will listen to what you have to say, your needs and desires—style and life which will influence our design. Our understanding of your custom home drafting needs will become clear. We strive to ensure your residence matches your lifestyle.

2. Explore the Location

We want to learn more about the spot for your house after knowing more about you. If you own a home, we will arrange for a surveyor to come and record as much as necessary. If you have identified some locations, we will conduct some research and, if requested, will provide feedback on your pick. 

We can still proceed with our research even if you don't have a place. You only need to see the city and the dimensions of the properties of interest. With this, we'll have an idea of which areas would be ideal for the style of property you want to construct.

3. Gathering Phase

The phase lets you showcase your ideas for your house, such as Houzz photo books, Pinterest posts, and photos. They will help us get an idea of the look you desire for your home.

Pinterest is a site that allows you to pin movies, pictures, and other items of interest to your board. It is comparable to a digital scrapbook. If you need inspiration in your home design drafting, Pinterest is your best bet! You may "pin" the images that convey specific designs you want to incorporate in your home project and share them with all involved.

To sketch your plan, you will need an eighth-inch graph paper, a pencil, and a ruler to begin drawing. However, you must do this before proceeding with the subsequent procedures.

You don't have to be an expert in drawing. Don’t worry about the quality of the drawing as long as it conveys your notion. All you have to do is record basic area details and measurements. If you're unsure how to begin, use your present house as a starting point. Do you desire an open balcony, a porch, and bay windows? Your desires will guide your sketch. 

Give us all the information we need to create your dream home. Our crew will compile our proposals for your home and schedule a meeting with you to present our work. You can inform the team during the meeting if there is anything you feel is absent in our pitch. 

We are a company of open-minded individuals who'll want to listen to what you have to say. After all, the main goal s to help you develop a home you'll love.

4. Preliminary Stage

Our drafting technicians will create drawings of floor elevations and plans that meet your requirements based on your thoughts and aims. You will have the chance to examine the blueprints, and we will make any required changes to the drawings. We'll proceed to the design step once you've approved the conceptual plans.

With approval, the contractors and remodelers can begin producing your initial budgets centered on the Proposed Design. Adjustments to the design may be necessary if the quotations fall outside the expected ranges, giving you time to acquire the required finance.

5. Designing Phase

We will submit the blueprints for your house to all the Specialists on your home project, like our custom home designers. Their sketches and computations will be part of your plan.

Simultaneously, we complete our designs, including all the measurements and features necessary for construction and licensing. They will then act as a roadmap for each specialist involved in your project.

As we strive to put your designs into our program, we'll endeavor to include your images, notes, or sketches. Based on your option, we will send rough drafts of electrical drawings, floor blueprints, 3D renderings, and even 2D elevations to assist you in appreciating how your house design is coming to fruition and the level of progression in the process.

Throughout this phase, only minor adjustments are acceptable. Anything that significantly modifies the scope or idea of the layout from the initial stage is overage.

6. Making Selections

For many of our clients, the selection stage is the most thrilling part. You may go over our suggested décor and choose the items you prefer.   We can develop a 3D virtual representation of your house so you can preview how your finished room will appear.

7. Getting Licenses and Permissions

Obtaining Construction approvals and Permits is the final stage before commencing construction. Lack of permits means you ought not to destroy or construct, and no true professional will begin building. Cease work Instructions can have severe implications for individuals who build without licenses.

8. Construction Phase

You are now ready to begin building after completing the design work!  Relax and enjoy this stage of the Custom Home Design process. Please notify us of any last-minute changes, and we will consider your input. We'll review your blueprints to ensure they are consistent, clear, and set for your efforts to construct your home. 

After receiving full payment, an ultimate series of plans will become available. Should any problems develop throughout the building phase, we will be available to help.
