Project stage 3 of 5
Schematic Design
First layouts. We draw concept floor plans and the main exterior view so you can compare options early, while changes are easy.
Included
What we do
- Concept floor plans for each level
- A check against zoning: setbacks, height and site coverage
- A sketch of the main exterior elevation
- An optional 3D model and concept rendering
- A design presentation and a round of your feedback
Result
What you get
- An approved layout to develop in the next stage
- A clear picture of size and shape for early pricing with a builder
Estimate ranges
Schematic Design price ranges
Choose your project type and size to narrow the range. Every price is an estimate.
Every price is an estimate range, before tax. Your final price depends on the size, site and scope of your project.
