Why should we hire a residential designer to design our project when so many contractors offer free design advice as a part of their bid service? Is using a residential designer expensive? What qualifications should I look for when selecting a home designer? What is AIBD? What is a building designer? Is it easier to make revisions to a stock house plan or to design a custom home from scratch? How can we learn more about your company before committing ourselves to a contract with Southern Home Design? What should I bring or how should I prepare for my initial consultation? Can I make extra sets or copies of Southen Home Design plans at Kinko's? Are your plans copyrighted? Can we build the house more than once? How much should I plan to spend on a custom home design? I am confused about "square footage." What is the difference between "living area" and "total area under roof?" Will the plan you design be all I need to give to my builder for a cost estimate and to begin construction? Are your designs "stamped/sealed" when completed? What are some of the pros and cons to having a main-floor master suite verses an upper-floor master suite? What are building codes? Do your plans meet my local codes? How many sets of plans do we need? Are mechanical and plumbing details included with your plans? Is Southern Home Design a registered architect? How much will it cost to build this house? What does a set of plans include? Why don't you offer a building material lists?
