Our residential design process involves developing construction plans for new homes, home renovations, and remodeling designs from Myles Nelson McKenzie Design®.
Concept Design
When a homeowner outlines their project needs, the initial phase of concept residential design begins. This phase is crucial as it sets the foundation for the entire design process, bridging the client’s vision and the tangible plans that will ultimately guide construction activities. During this stage, various concept designs showcase the proposed project design, helping homeowners visualize their ideas and assess possibilities. These designs often incorporate layout options, architectural styles, and functional aspects, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of how the final home might look and feel.
It’s important to note that the term “concept residential design” can perplex many. It may refer to different stages in the home design process, leading to client confusion. For some, it may signal the initial brainstorming of ideas, while for others, it might imply a more developed set of designs closer to realization. This ambiguity underscores the importance of clear communication between the homeowner and the design team. Both parties must engage in detailed discussions to ensure that expectations are aligned and that the concept accurately represents the homeowner’s desires and requirements.
Design Development
As the design process progresses, design details are refined during this phase. Incorporating feedback and preferences shared by the homeowner and/or builder. This iterative approach allows for modifications and enhancements, ensuring that each concept aspect aligns with the homeowner’s vision. Eventually, the concept and design development are transformed into detailed engineered construction plans created from the approved design plan.
I sent my plans out for a material bid to one of my old suppliers and he commented that the construction plans were one of the most completed plans that they ever received.
