You have spent hours on Pinterest and scoured through countless magazines, collecting photos and ideas. Now, you just want someone who can take all that information and help you figure out how to design the perfect house plans. House plans that are buildable and affordable. Individualized house plans that meet your and your family’s needs. House plans that will be worth the time, money, and pain of moving.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to clearly share your vision with a house designer, architect, or builder. Plus, many house designers, architects, and builders want to put their own stamp on the project, telling you what you should and shouldn’t do. So, it can be tricky to confidently decide whether the person you are talking with can, and will, design what you want. And, perhaps even more importantly, can they complete the proposed project within your budget?
