Design & Draw
In our design phase, you will need to sign a design contract and pay the required non-refundable deposit at our office. Your design deposit includes permit ready plans (custom or modified) with two 3D views of your house interior and exterior. The design deposit also includes our Design Presentation – a visual spec sheet booklet with all of the details, designs and pricing for your home. For info about the design process: bluedesignstc.com
Upon paying your design deposit, you will sit down with our designers to discuss finishes, colors and materials so we can detail your Design Presentation to suit your needs and style.
Once reviewing the Design Presentation, you’ll select any optional upgrades or plan changes.
Finally, our Design Team will finalize price & plans and sign your design contract.
