FEASIBILITY STUDY

Building a backyard home is a big decision. Through the feasibility study, we show you three options with different locations, sizes and floor plans that you can legally build on your lot, within your budget. This gives you an opportunity to get to know and work with us before deciding to hire us to complete your project.

DESIGN

FLOORPLAN

Once you’ve decided on one of the options presented during the feasibility study, we’ll work together to get your floor plan just how you want it.

3-D RENDERING

This is where you see your backyard home start coming to life. We’ll review 3D models and perspectives to confirm that what you’ve asked us for is what you really want so your design progresses according to your intent. We will also re-confirm project scope and budget to minimize the possibility of overages during the construction phase.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

Construction documents are the set of drawings specifying every detail of your design that are submitted to the governing authority for approval. Once approved, we use these same documents to build your project.
