Why Choose One Design?
I support you in any way I can by working
intensively with my clients, providing
quick responses to all kinds of concerns,
such as:
- What looks good, and what wont
work
- Building code and other safety issues
- Zoning and other neighborly questions
Your low-cost commitment to a design
process, which can end whenever you wish
since I bill by the hour, allows you to
quickly visualize possibilities for enriching
your home.
I provide professional drawings and data
from a state-of-the-art architectural
CAD program. These assure more accurate
bids from multiple contractors. The drawings
show you three-dimensional views to help
you visualize how your dreams convert
to contractors and engineers
programs. I customize existing plans,
and often mitigate architects' errors.
What I am NOT:
- I am not an architect, but I am Harvard
trained.
- I am not an interior decorator or
a landscape designer, but I will offer
lots of suggestions on those enchanting
subjects.
- I am not an engineer. I do not provide
technical drawings (for plumbing, wiring,
foundations, or HVAC) that subcontractors
often prefer to provide.
I DO retain an experienced contractor
for consultation.
There is no charge for the first on-site
visit when we are merely discussing the
project and your preferences. My usual
rate is $75/hour as we proceed.
