3rd
MEETING . .
. OPTION
1:
Topic: I meet you at the
project site to review the plan design drawings. These
drawings provide you with enough detail to discuss the changes
to help you see, feel and best visualize these new features
and/or changes.
Once
we thoroughly review this I go back to the drawing board to
make any changes and finalize the drawings.
STAGING
SPECIALIST
*Homeowner's maintaining* the
creation of a *BUYER READY* property . . .
Critical Staging Factors,
Staging
Benefits
and Feng
Shui
The resemblance between Architectural
Design and Staging your home may seem like one-in-the-same.
Keep these differences in mind: Architectural Design
changes the property's construction and may or may not be
for the purpose of immediate resell at the completion of
construction. Staging your home is for the specific
intention ... to sell your home or stage it for a
specific party or event.

SELECTING . .
. Contractors &
Materials
SELECTING CONTRACTORS
This
c an be a daunting task if you are not accustomed to working
with contractors. It involves many considerations including,
but not limited to affordability, timeliness and compatibility
with other subs, suppliers and the owners. Much depends on the
confidence that the contractor, and/or sub-contractors have in
the owners. I am skilled at working with the contractors,
owners and owner/builders. I help everyone work the best with
each other. I do this through clear communication,
organization, customized construction procedure for your
particular project, payment draw systems, proof of insurance,
lien releases including multiple bidding for materials and
labor costs (Description of Materials). Prepare all that is
required to obtain the building permit including well water
and waste disposal systems, soils, civil, and structural
engineering, association approvals. In the event that you are
seeking a construction loan I also prepare a lender package of
all of the documentation that the lender will require for your
‘proposed construction.’
SELECTING MATERIALS Considerations
for material selections include costs of the materials,
variation of the material, availability and timeliness,
installation feasibility, décor coordination, compatibility,
expected wear & tear, care & maintenance and
replacement & warranties.
BID NEGOTIATIONS
The
bids will only be as accurate as the plans are detailed. Add
clear communication, organization, customized construction
procedure for your particular project, payment draw systems,
proof of insurance & lien release forms for your
contractors and material suppliers, including multiple bidding
for materials and labor costs assuring you that you will have
the best contractors, materials and prices for your entire
project without the pitfalls.
I
also prepare all that is required to obtain the building
permit including well water and waste disposal systems, soils,
civil, and structural engineering, energy efficiency systems,
engineered wiring for every possible technology use and
association approvals.
In
the event that you are seeking a construction loan I also
prepare a lender package of all of the documentation that the
lender will require for your ‘proposed
construction.’
IN-PROGRESS CONSULTING
Through-out
any process of your design and/or construction of your project
you can call me in for advice. I will help you oversee the
progress and how to proceed whether you are managing
everything on your own, or want me to inspect the project for
accuracy and workmanship.
FEASIBILITY . .
. Pre-purchase study &
Pre-project review
Before
buying a home-site or an existing home, condo or town-home we
can bounce ideas around about designing a new home or
remodeling an existing one to get a general idea about the
cost and effort that would be involved. This is a process that
gets you real about what will actually work and generally
cost, then weigh this information against other properties.
When considering everything, this will insure you that you
make the best decision for you.
