You may be interested in buying one of our
standard plans in the event that you would like to build the house by
yourself, use the drawings as a template for your own design, or for
placing an inquiry with other manufacturers and/or for the submission to a
Building Department for obtaining a building license. We have 6 options available: |
| |
| Stage a: Conceptual design |
| Stage b: Pre design |
| Stage c: Basic design |
| Stage d: Detailed design |
| Stage e: Construction drawings + technical specifications |
| Stage f: Any combination of the above |
| Stage a: Conceptual design |
| |
|
Conceptual design comprising a simple plan with
overall dimensions and two elevations. Two cross sections and a few
details will be provided. The concept comprises only one plan. In the
event that a client wishes to change, alter or modify, a modified
concept will be drafted. Client may repeat this until he/she is
satisfied, however the number of modified designs will be restricted to
3. Additional changes shall be subject to a variation order.
During the conceptual design we will in broad lines consult on the
program of requirements (if available). A ballpark figure for the cost
for the house will be submitted. |
| Stage b: Pre design |
| |
|
This stage comprises the preparation of the plan in more
detail, worked out elevations, a few cross sections, type of windows
and doors and if necessary a pre-design structural calculation. We will
consult in detail on the program of requirements (if available). The main
structural dimensions will be determined in this stage. The client may
request for changes as long as these changes do not change the concept. The
maximum time spent on changes shall not be more than 10% of the fee due In
the event that more changes are being requested we will request additional
payment (*).
(*) Restrictions need to be made for the USA
Counties. All of the designs for a County need to be rubber stamped by a
local architect or engineer. The client may at his own discretion engage an
architect or engineer of his choice, or alternatively may ask help from our
company for rubber stamping against an additional fee. |
| Stage c: Basic design |
|
During this stage final late changes are still
allowed, however, to a maximum time spent of 5% of the fee due. Time
spent in excess shall be reimbursed against a variation order. Once the
client has approved the basic design it will be frozen and the final
structural calculations prepared. No changes will be possible unless the
client agrees to reimburse the extra design costs against a payment of
USD 20/hour to accomplish these changes |
| Stage d: Detailed design
|
|
This stage is recognized by the detailing of the beam
structures, frame structures, cross sections, typical details,
foundation (location of pedestals and columns), fully worked out floor
plans, windows, doors, etc., conceptual electrical and plumbing drawings
(if any) |
| Stage e: Construction drawings and
technical specifications |
| |
|
In this stage the detailed drawings will be worked
out into construction drawings, technical specifications will be
drafted, typical detail sheets be prepared, where necessary electrical
and plumbing drawings be provided in basic format only (these drawings
shall be verified by a local engineer). |
| Stage f: Any combination of the
above |
| |
|
It is not always necessary to submit plans to the
full detail to a Building Authority. This depends on the regulations
which may deviate from country to country. This option
allows you to chose what is required. |
| General note:
Our design options offer the opportunity for a
client who does not wish to engage an architect or engineer to obtain a
design straight from the shelf. During the course of the preparation
of the conceptual design we will constantly involve you as to lead us
to a design that will satisfy you. We will e-mail you our drawings as we
progress whereas you will have the full opportunity to inform us what
you require us to change, modify, add or delete up to the point that you
are happy. In fact you design how you want it. After this we freeze the
concept and continue with the basic design followed by the detailed
design, etc. |
| Drawing format:
AutoCAD version 2009. The drawings can be printed
in any format or size. |
How to order a ready made design
| You may download the design package cost
calculation sheet (see below). Once you
are in accord with the price you may e-mail us indicating
the code number of your choice and the chosen option. After we have received the payment we
will e-mail the original package in the digital AutoCAD format mentioned
above (*).
(*) Not all of our models have a readily available
design in place. A number of them still needs to be designed in detail.
We will inform you about the time required to accomplish this.
And remember..............We will refund the
full design fee if a fabrication order materializes !!!! |
