TOP 10 REASONS TO ENGAGE DREAM HOME ARCHITECTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:

1. SIZE OF YOUR SITE. Having too narrow a land parcel could restrict the width of your dream home. This could dictate proportions that may not be ideal for your desires.

2. SITE GEOLOGY, VIEWS, ORIENTATION. Dream home architects know how to read your site’s geology. This can affect the cost of your foundations, saving you hundreds of thousands of dollars, simply by adjusting the location of your house. Architects also advise on the best views, solar and wind orientations, and privacy from neighboring parcels.

3. DESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOODS. Building your dream home in the right community can impact your potential future resale by hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

4. UTILITIES and other services for your site. Not having certain items available like water and sewer or septic capability can be a showstopper or showstarter.

5. ARCHITECTURAL STYLE. You may find that you might decide to have some flexibility in that all-stone castle when you examine the cost relative to the price you want to pay. How much are you willing to pay for certain features? Having a design professional discuss these range of costs can help tailor a program that is feasible for your goals.

6. FLOOR PLAN ARRANGEMENTS. You may have found a plan from a magazine or somewhere else and believe that it might work. That is, until you have a real architect examine it, comparing your programmed lifestyle and your site with it, not too mention range of cost. You may find that your own dream home architects can Create a more appropriate plan for how you want to live than any preconceived plan. Perhaps an open plan home design. Also, the slope of your site can dramatically impact the cost of construction. Your dream home architects will adjust your plan to result in the most cost-effective arrangement while suiting your desired lifestyle.

7. LIFESTYLE PROGRAMMING. A true licensed architect experienced in designing dream homes knows how to listen to you regarding your hopes, functional needs and dreams. Then they evolve that into plans, elevations, and the details that properly depict a dream home, custom crafted to your needs and desires.

8. MATERIAL CHOICES. Choices of building systems and interior and exterior materials are some of the most costly decisions. Your architects understand what represents the best value. That expertise can help you minimize cost overruns. Your dream home architects can counsel you as to whether choices make sense for your budget.

9. FINDING THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR. Your architects can assist you in finding a properly qualified slate of licensed builders. Your architect doesn’t want any problems and neither do you. Your architect will check their qualifications and make sure they are licensed and talk to them, to make sure they understand what they are doing.

10. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION. Dream home architects can visit your project's construction site to compare what your builder is doing with your project design documents. Pay your architect to periodically visit your project during construction and observe the progress of the work. Your architect will note what he has seen and report conformance to the project documents or not, with suggestions for corrections. This will help keep your project on track and help provide the house your dream home architects designed for you.
