What’s included
Full Design Bundle: architectural design + interior design

Coordinated design documentation for your primary residence. Drafting and design services—this is not licensed architecture unless separately engaged.

Full design bundle includes:

All packages are delivered digitally in an organized, easy-to-use format.
  • Architectural design and interior design under one bundle.
  • Iterative design collaboration with clear milestones (scope per agreement).
  • Permit-compatible drawing deliverables for design development and coordination with your builder and consultants (not a complete permit submittal).
  • Pricing is based on your selected scope and square footage.

Engineering, structural calculations, Title 24/energy compliance documentation, sealed/stamped drawings, and final permit-package assembly are not included unless explicitly added to your scope.

Design package

How it works

A clear path from ideas to coordinated drawings. Single-family services focus on design documentation—not agency permit submittal—so you know exactly what you are investing in.

1

Project fit evaluation

Estimate your design fee, then complete the short fit step so we can confirm scope, pace, and collaboration style before you commit.

2

Design discovery & direction

We clarify how you live, what you want to change, and what the architecture needs to support—then establish design directions and layouts that fit your home and priorities.

3

Drawing package development

Following your selected bundle, we develop coordinated drawings and visuals for design intent—what your builder and consultants need to price and coordinate from (scope per agreement).

4

Refinement with you & your team

We iterate through structured reviews. Your builder or consultants can plug in where needed—engineering, energy, and jurisdictional stamps remain outside core design fees unless you add them to scope.

Frequently asked questions

Design services for single-family homes and major renovations—what’s included, and what isn’t.

What is included in the single-family design fee?

Depending on the package you select, services may include architectural design, interior design, drawing development, and iterative collaboration as described in your scope. Engineering, Title 24/energy compliance, sealed drawings, and permit processing are not included unless explicitly added.

How do payments and milestones work?

For the Full Design Bundle, Architectural Design Only, and Interior Design Only packages, fees use three payment milestones on your package total: 60% retainer at checkout to start, 20% after final design is approved, and 20% after the final package is delivered. Remaining installments are invoiced through your project dashboard or by email.

Architectural Layout Design Only is priced separately for layout exploration scope (see the calculator); it uses the same three-milestone payment schedule on your layout package total.

Can I stop the project early (termination)?

Termination: Work may be stopped at any time at your request; however, payment is due for work completed at the time of stoppage, together with reimbursable expenses then due and all terminal expenses resulting from such stoppage. See Terms & Conditions (Section 16).

Do you provide permit-compatible or stamped drawings?

You receive permit-compatible design documentation—structured so it can be developed into a full architectural permit package. Finalizing a complete permit submittal is a separate scope and an additional fee; that work does not include a professional stamp. In some jurisdictions, the architectural design set we provide can be used for permit when paired with a structural set stamped by a licensed engineer (requirements vary by city—your jurisdiction decides what is acceptable).

Do you work remotely?

Yes. We collaborate with homeowners remotely using structured reviews, digital files, and clear milestones regardless of where you are building.

Can we start with layout or architectural-only scope and expand later?

Often, yes. Many clients begin with layout exploration or architectural-only scope and add interior documentation or additional milestones once direction is clear.

Do you take every project?

No. We prioritize projects that align with our workflow, communication style, and design approach to ensure the best experience and outcome for both sides.

What information should I gather before we start?

Property address, approximate square footage, inspiration images, goals for the renovation or new home, any existing surveys or old plans, and how you hope to use the spaces.

Do you offer structural or MEP engineering?

We do not replace licensed engineers. We can coordinate with engineers and consultants you hire, and reflect their input in the drawing set when that is part of your scope.

Will you manage construction or act as the builder?

No. We focus on design documentation. You select your contractor or builder; we support design intent and revisions through the documentation phase as agreed.

How long does the design process take?

Every home is different. Timelines depend on scope, decision speed, rounds of revision, and how quickly consultants or builders need information—not a fixed calendar promise.
