Price for Services

Following is a cost breakdown of various CAD services.

This is only to be used as a guide, specific projects may require unique pricing:

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DESIGN

----A set of Home plans that YOU have already designed and I would therefore simply draw it into CAD and when drawn would fit on a standard paper size of 24" x 36"at 1/4" = 1'-0" scale would be $800.00

IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA BUT NOT A DESIGNED PLAN

A preliminary drawing set may be needed to finalize your idea into a home design. These drawings are charged at roughly $250.00 per set. They contain your ideas along with my suggestions in conjunction with our discussions regarding your design. They may include elevations or plans or both as is required to explain the design concept.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO DESIGN YOUR HOME

---The design of a home by me requires a collaboration of both client and architect. It is based on the client's use of space, their lifestyle and their present and future requirements. To determine this, a number of discussions may take place and be translated into preliminary and then into final drawings. The cost of these components may have to be based on time involved, it is usually on an hourly basis (currently $40.00/ hr). Once the design is finalized,the above pricing would then be utilized as a designed plan.

Please note: That although I can, in most areas of the country, draw your ideas into cad, I cannot and do not propose to do architectural services in states other than Wisconsin .

Other Items:

Printing Fees will be charged at the printer's current rate.

A typical set of plans includes:

- general specification design notes.
- foundation and floor plans. ( basement plans are included where applicable )
- exterior elevations of all four views.
- building sections and details as required to construct the individual designs.
- framing plans including joist and rafter framing and beam sizes.
- schematic electrical plans with suggested switch, outlet and door bell placement.
- suggested telephone and tv outlets locations are also shown.

MECHANICAL AND PLUMBING CODES AND REGULATIONS VARY GREATLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THEREFORE THIS PORTION OF THE DESIGN IS LEFT TO THE INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTOR THAT IS SELECTED.

--- These house plans will be everything you need to build, but not necessarily everything you need to obtain a building permit.

--- In addition to the home plans you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region (If it is not in Wisconsin). Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance. I can help, only with those designs located in the state of Wisconsin.

--- In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be earthquake-prone areas of California and the PacificCoast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf ; CarolinaCoasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.

--- Additionally, these plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping if the local ordinances or state laws permit this.

PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, THE ABOVE PRICES ARE EFFECTIVE UNTIL JANUARY, 2009
