Getting Started: the process.
Apples to Apples
Design
Helping you get your vision onto paper is a skill.
We work with architects, designers, individuals and film producers. Sometimes we are presented with a full set of working plans, but mostly we create.
We start with an idea, a sketch or even a version of a combination of elements from photos, and often from a raw site or floor plans. We present sketches of the ideas under consideration, specific decisions are made as to size, level of detail, wood & finish, then final decisions are made and drawings are produced.
Price
From the drawing, we create a full set of shop plans. The plans can be bid by us, or taken to any shop for an "apples to apples" true comparison of price. The plans show various elevations, exact building procedure, and guarantee the project will be made as you see it. Using a detailed set of plans keeps the fabricator on track, and ensures that the project will be built with traditional craftsmanship methods.
