Construction tip for the homeowner.
During construction after the mechanical and electrical inspections, take photos of the interior walls and ceilings of your home from every room. This needs to be done before the insulation is installed. Lable these so you know later what room, wall or ceiling it is. This will provide valuable maintenance information for professionals that may need to come into your home to repair or update anything from plumbing or electrical to structural problems. This can also be helpful with finding studs when hanging pictures or ceiling fixtures.

CDS believes in a team approach to home design, be it a remodel or new construction. Working directly with the homeowner and when possible the builder, we assist by developing a design that meets your needs, lifestyle, budget and your shade of green. With a completed design, we involve structural engineers, authorities responsible for permits, and other professionals as necessary. We can even provide qualified, proven referrals for your specific construction needs. Contact Us.

HOW WE WORK

Designing a custom home involves a site visit and analysis, and meetings with the owner to collaborate on a design that suits their needs and lifestyle, as well as their building site and budget. Similarly, developing a design for an addition to an existing home, or major or minor remodeling project, involves a tour of the home, taking measurements, and working closely with the client to determine their needs. It is an iterative process that generates an initial design which with input evolves to an ideal design for a given circumstance. After a design is completed, construction documents including a site plan, permitting requirements, and building plan are prepared. The completed plans will be ready and in compliance with IRC (International Residential Code) and all requirements for bidding and construction. We can stamp the plans when the city requires a seal, assist with all permitting requirements, and help guide a project so it moves forward successfully and efficiently.
