Our floor plans are created with the highest standard of quality. Each set of
floor plans goes through a comprehensive check process to ensure accuracy.
Each floor plan is drawn to meet the code standards of the current
International Residential Code.
We GUARANTEE our plans for City submittal. If there are any redlines, we promptly take care
of them at no additional 'in-house' costs.*

- Example: interior changes such as moving sinks or islands around, moving
an exterior wall is not minor
but major
- With 'major' modifications: this is determined on a per plan basis,
and depends on the complexity, but typically the per

charge. ($3500 min)
- All above PRICING IS PLANS ONLY. Does not include Structural Engineering, site plan, or

New Home
Design <top>
- We base pricing on the square footage of a project and the level of
detail required for your plans. The price typically works out to about
2% of the total investment of your home.
- Starting price: $3.00 per
livable square foot + $0.50 per
non-livable square foot
-
Example: 4000 livable square feet x 3.00 = $12,000
1500 non-livable square feet x 0.50 = $750
Totaling $12,750
- PLUS Structural Engineering (listed
below)
-
Structural Engineering <top>
- Structural Engineering is not included in the above prices
- Structural Engineering is
strongly recommended and typically required by
Arizona Municipalities.
- Starting Price: $0.85 per
livable
square foot with a $2000 minimum.
- Example:
4000 livable square
feet x $0.85 = $3400 (plus cost of plans above)
- Accessory Structures & Garages vary, but start at $1500
for engineering.
- If a plan qualifies to be designed without a Structural Engineer
(smaller, simpler homes), there is a $500 fee to design the home
prestricively using the current building codes.
- Additional

- Topographical Surveys (when required/requested) = per current market pricing (typically

- Detached Garages & Other Accessory Structures <top>
- These projects vary in size, complexity & detail & is therefore
difficult to place them into a single price structure. Therefore,
we will calculate the time we’ll spend on your project, then provide you with a proposal
We do have a $2500 minimum. This is where most small projects fit.
-
Retainer or Deposit Policy:
- Over our years in the trade, we have
found it good business to require a retainer, or deposit before we
begin work. Therefore:
- 50% down payment & remaining amount due at completion of plans.
- Example: $10,000 project. $5000
down payment to begin work.
Remaining $5000 due when plans are completed.
*DISCLAIMER -
If municipalities require a registered Engineer these costs are additional, and
typically follow the above price structure. Plan reviews, unfortunately,
are inconsistent from day to day, from reviewer to reviewer, and from city to
city. Therefore, we do not guarantee that there will not be redlines even if the same plans
passed through the same city just days before. This is what makes hiring a
professional that understands the cities and the building codes so important.
