We are pleased that you are interested in having John Henry Architect provide design services for your new residence.  There are a variety of services that we can offer you.

A.  We can provide a custom design 'from scratch' based on your specific style, budget, space layout, and site considerations.  (see also Ultra Custom Services) We normally use our Permit Set with Options contract format.

See Exhibit B this page.

B.  You may start from an existing set of drawings that we have pre-designed, either Schematics only or in Permit Set stage (basic 'Builder Set').  Start here to see a collection of designs, or select from nearly any project on our web site.   We can further modify up to a certain point or must redraw most or the entire set.

 

C.  We can take preliminary designs or concept plans from other sources and correct, amend, elaborate, per your specifications  providing they do not violate copyright laws.  We can create a new plan and also offer interior architecture services for any home, pre-owned or new.  A custom contract will be forwarded based on your specifications.

In any case, we offer further options to add construction and design details (exterior and interior) and material/performance specifications, contract administration, etc. that are explained in our Contracts.

Please note that we do not offer plan books nor send copies of any of our floor plans unless we are under contract, due to copyright issues.  We prefer to custom design a home for you from scratch, but realize that either time or budget issues may make working from an existing design expedient.

PROCEDURE TO START FROM EXISTING OR STOCK PLANS:  We will send out a Contract proposal to anyone interested in obtaining one or more study copies of our plans that would best suit overall style and layout interests.
