Custom Home Specifically Designed For You & Yours.
We have a comprehensive design team that has worked with owners and developers from all over the United States. We understand that individual needs differ and constructing a 'dream home' might include certain elements our floorplans or facade styles on customhome.ai do not yet include.
It's not uncommon for owners to send us all types of images, sketches and ideas for a home they have been dreaming about throughout a lifetime! We will work one-on-one with you to ensure those dreams are realized; that your home meets your lifestyle needs and all the amenities desired - around your budget.

Custom Home Design
01
Understanding your site:
Share your parcel number and we will begin an in depth review of the site. Including any opportunities to design the home around, regulations or site setbacks.
02
Sketching your options:
We have found those wanting to both design and construct a custom home have fairly specific ideas about the aesthetic or layout. Share your inspiration images, goals and budget and we will begin an iterative process of sketches to hone in your design style and floor plan.
03
Tweaking:
Once we have the basics, it’s time to get detailed. We will pass the floor-plan back and forth through a series of revisions to ensure all goals are met. Once we have the two dimensional layout complete we will create a 3D model and allow you to truly visualize every room in the home before ground has broken.
04
Finalizing:
Depending on the current site conditions, utility locations and regional / municipal code, we may need more site analysis and information prior too engaging a structural engineer. We can help you through this process by building a project profile and a team of local residential professionals and detailed action plan and schedule at bimquote.com

Site Plan
Some counties require to have a site plan in order to obtain a building permit. The site plan shows where the house will be located on your property. Then the builder would know where exactly to pour foundations. In order for us to produce a site plan, you would need to send us your lot topography drawing or write us your lot boundary dimensions with stated setbacks. The site plan would also show septic, well, power, etc. locations.
Electrical Plan
Each customer knows better where they would like to locate lighting, switches or outlets. After you purchase the house construction drawings, if you would like to make electrical layout changes, send us your comments and we will update electrical plan for Free.
Structural Requirements
The construction drawing set must be approved by a local structural engineer, as of the different structural requirements in each county. Each location has different soil condition as well as snow, wind, etc. load requirements. Most of the county's building departments require to get a local structural engineer’s approval on house structure to obtain a building permit. After the engineer’s review, if there is a need to update construction drawing set, we would update the drawings with engineer's specifications for Free and will issue an updated drawing set.
