The Other Guys…

*If buying stock plans online somewhere, you do not get revisions to their design without incurring additional costs.
*Our prices compare to purchasing stock plans but we design custom homes that are completely unique for each project/client/design.
-Have long wait times for revisions and updated preliminary plans. Multiple back and forth emails to get accurate revisions. SLOW
-Revisions made in real time while you direct and watch during Design Appointments. Updated Design Sets are delivered same or next day. FAST
-Provide a limited amount of revisions before additional charges are applied, or if the project is not completed within a specified timeframe, additional charges can be applied as well. ~Tense situations.
-Unlimited appointments and revisions throughout the Design Phase with no time limit for for the timeframe for finishing your project. We make the design process stress free!
-Only communicate within normal business hours and days and must coordinate meeting times without direct access to their calendar.
-Our phone lines are always open and using our calendar, book your Design Appointments within a 14 hour window (9am-11pm CST), six days a week. Excluding Sundays.
-Design Appointments are scheduled days (up to weeks) in advance. They make it hard.
-Same day scheduling is available and used often by our clients. We make it easy.
-Do not offer evening or weekend appointments without special scheduling and/or additional cost. You meet with them on their time.
-Evening and Saturday appointments are available with our standard scheduling. We try to work around your schedule/life!
-Charge more for the source files (CAD/DWG), for what reason we cannot figure out.
-Source files are provided free of charge and are just part of our service. It’s your project, they’re your files.
-Will try to talk you into what they have already drawn so that they do not have additional work with further revisions. They care more about their hours than they do your home.
-We will show you several options during your Design Appointments knowing you can only choose one option. We ensure you build exactly what you want!
-May have a few 3D images included on the blueprints but not all angles of the project are provided. ‘UnReal’ for this day and age!
-360 degree 3D images of your new house is included on the blueprints, and in 100% full color. “PhotoREAL” using the latest software and tech!
-Provide a limited amount of 3D images (if any at all) during the design process before charging an additional cost to their service. Seems greedy.
-Unlimited 3D images as needed throughout the Design Process and additional images as requested and are free of charge. Again, just part of our service!
-Charge additional fees (if they offer) for the Materials List of the building materials that will be needed for the construction of your project.
-A full Materials List is provided with the delivered blueprints when they are completed and does not cost any extra money. We don’t nickel and dime!
-Do not use 3D videos without charging a premium rate for their services, if they even offer 3D videos at all. Most use 3D images nowadays, very few use full walkthrough videos.
-We generate 3D videos after each Design Appointment for both the exterior and interior of the home/project. We provided full walkthrough videos as part of our standard service – No additional charge.
-Do not service the plans throughout the build and will charge additional fees to update the plans with necessary notes/details/etc to assist with any approval process (Permitting/HOA/Engineering/etc). They have their own team.
-As long as there are not any design changes after the blueprints are completed, we will service the plans and make any updates needed to assist through any possible approval process free of charge. We are on your team!
-Retain 100% ownership of the plans and only allows for the purchase of the plans to be licensed and built only once without requiring additional fees. It is your design but they own it?? That makes no sense!
-Share 100% ownership with us. It is your custom home design and you can do what you please with the plans when they are completed. You are not a licensee to the plans, you are a co-owner!
-Require you to get permission from them and pay them more money in order to sell, give or build it again, again, because they own your ‘Custom Design’. How crazy it that? It sounds like bondage.
-You do not have to ask us anything, you own your home design just as much as we do and if you want to sell it, give it away or build it a hundred times, they are your plans, do what you want. Freedom!
Apples
Comparing apples to apples and considering “The Red Carpet” we provide as just part of our services, more often than not, our services are less expensive than the websites that simply sell plans that they previously designed and then charge you more if you want to make changes to their design, seemingly making it their ‘Custom Home’ and not yours.
Why pay more for someone else’s dream home design? You can use our services and design your own Custom Dream Home and let us help you bring it to fruition at a fraction of the cost of “The Other Guys”. Please schedule a free appointment using the button below and we can discuss your project and our speed/quality/excellence & cost of services to see if we are a good fit. ~Thanks and talk soon!
