Our Process - Visionary Home Designs

Our Process

That Creates The Home Of Your Dreams

1. Consultation Process

The initial consultation meeting to discuss your vision is free. This discussion can be an in-person visit, a virtual meeting, or a phone call. We find it valuable to talk with our clients to get a personal sense of their vision. This process aids in determining your design style and evaluating what your requirements are including the site conditions of the property.

VHD encourages our clients to discuss intimate details of their likes and dislikes including pros and cons such as, “My spouse likes this and I don’t.”, or “I always dreamed of having this in my home.” We want you to know that this will be a design effort between the two of us.

After all ideas has been discussed, VHD will follow up with a proposal of what it will take to bring your vision to reality. “A Vision Today, A Dream Home Tomorrow!”

2. Home Renovations

Perhaps your current home is located in the perfect area but you want something “exciting and new.” Well come aboard we’re expecting you! Create something refreshing and new without moving into another home. Whether it’s interior changes such as creating a new kitchen or bathroom, making the home handicap accessible, adding a new wing for a master suite or a second level to your single-story home, Visionary Home Designs can modify your current home and make you feel as if you’ve moved! Call us to begin the process!

3. Process After Contract

Most proposals involve a three-payment process. An initial payment will be due to begin services. After the first partial payment, the conceptual design phase of the floor plan layouts will commence. The designer will discuss with you when the initial layout will be presented. (If a basement design is part of the service, a layout will not be presented at this stage.)
Once presented, the client will then have an opportunity to present comments and suggestions. After the floor plan layouts are agreed upon by the client and VHD, the conceptual front elevation process will begin.
The front elevation will be presented at which time the client may make comments and suggestions. After the preliminary front elevation is agreed upon by the client and VHD, the secondary elevations (Left Side, Right Side and Rear) process will begin. Once these are presented, the client will again have an opportunity to present comments and suggestions.
When the floor plans, front and side elevations are finalized, the second payment will be due.
The construction drawing phase will then begin. If a basement design has been purchased, the layout will be presented during this phase and subjected to the same process as the other floor plans.
Only minor changes, as determined by VHD, will be accepted as the final stage of the process is being completed. Any major additional changes, as determined by VHD, will be subject to additional fees and possibly more time.
Once the construction drawing phase is completed, the final payment will be due. VHD will provide the client with two (2) 13” x 19” personal copies and a digital “PDF” copy of the full construction documents. These digital files can be used to send to your builder of choice for pricing and eventually, the construction process.
Note: Construction documents are the detailed drawings giving the contractor the necessary information to build the home. They also serve as a contract between you and the contractor for the overall design of the structure. Specifications are not included. VHD are not interior decorators. Interior finish suggestions are not provided on the plans. (For example, brick and stone colors, shingle styles, flooring suggestions, paint colors, appliances and cabinet styles, fixture and door styles, etc. are excluded.) VHD suggests consulting with an interior designer.
