Welcome to Plan Design Build

Every project starts with your ideas and goals, sometimes thought of for a number of years. Putting those ideas on paper with real measurements brings those ideas to life, and quantifies what is possible, and what can be improved upon. As this allows our clients to better visualize the concepts, it is also the first step to guarantee a smoother, more cost effective way, to achieve the goal. 

We will meet you on-site, take all measurements, and gather as much information as possible to create professional architectural plans of existing space using Chief Architect software. The next step is most important to us: listening closely to our client's needs, ideas and dreams. We then create detailed plans, incorporating design ideas to give a specific point to begin the budgeting process. At this point the client can decide if they'd like to simply purchase the plans, or continue the contracting process with us directly.

Over the years, we have worked with numerous interior designers, cabinet shops, real estate professionals, and general contractors as plan-only services. We continue to provide the same in-depth process of planning, without interjecting our contracting services or causing complications. Everybody wins, as the project becomes closer to reality for subsequent design, budgeting, bidding, permitting and building steps. We abide by local building codes, calculate proper beam and header sizing, electrical plans, and can utilize engineering letters if needed. Our rates are competitive, and far less than typical architects' fees

In the process of planning, we try to get the best idea of what finishes, styles, and level of quality versus price our clients are looking for. We then provide a very thorough budget to include as many costs as possible based on our clients' wants and needs, and current market value and trends. That combined with an estimate of construction costs, our clients have a top to bottom specific idea of the entire project cost.

With plans complete, we assist any way we can with helping our clients find the most beautiful, functional components such as cabinets, appliances, plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring, tile, wall treatments, windows, doors, everything related to the construction of the project.  We rely on our clients and interior designers for furniture, paint colors and accessories, though we can assist where we can.

We take our clients' budgets seriously, and we make every effort to find quality products for our projects at the best prices. Our clients can purchase a vast majority of their selections through our suppliers at discount prices, or enjoy the freedom of purchasing items on their own. We also provide a project schedule that assists with knowing when to order and deliver to insure a smooth construction process.

Under almost all circumstances, we provide the following services exclusively with our in-house staff:  structural framing, concrete work, plumbing, electrical, insulation, drywall, prep and painting, windows, doors, tile, expert millwork and trim carpentry, stairs, flooring, railings, siding, just about all of anything! What we do "sub out" regularly is HVAC, stone countertops and custom glass enclosures. Occasionally we will call on our subs if any aspect is too large or time consuming for our staff, such as large-scale drywall, tile, roofing etc. We use the best, most qualified, subcontractors, and only when necessary, as we prefer doing all the work ourselves. We will never sacrifice on quality

We are most pleased to offer custom cabinetry built and finished in house, custom beams, mantles, decorative concrete work, live edge counters and floating shelves, specialty tile, wood and LVP flooring, concealed fastener composite decking, custom deck and stair railings. While we the give same amount of attention to detail in the rough construction, it is our customization and quality finishes that really sets us apart.

At Plan Design Build, we believe that exceptional customer service is key to our success. We are committed to providing our clients with the highest level of service and support, ensuring that their needs are met every step of the way. This extends to keeping the job site clean and organized (as possible!), and to keep our clients constantly informed of progress and challenges. We are on site every day, that you can count on! We also follow up after completion, we love happy clients!
