You've searched high and low, but you haven't found a house plan that fits just right. Maybe you're a builder who wants to create a neighborhood filled with some new housing ideas. Perhaps you have a difficult building site, an unusual program, or a one-of-a-kind vision of your dream home. You need a custom design!

CornerStone Designs wants to help you turn your ideas into reality. By phone, fax and e-mail, our professional designers will work closely with you to capture the essence of your building site, requirements and concepts. Our commitment is that your custom home will be an expression of your personal goals and lifestyle.

We keep the custom design process simple. We interview you to determine your goals, needs and program requirements. We identify your stylistic desires and material preferences. You provide us with information regarding your building site, covenants and local codes. We will create a home design that takes advantage of your site's opportunities, deals with its challenges, and complies with all applicable rules.

Our design fees are based on building area. You will approve a written fee agreement before we proceed with your project. We will then produce preliminary floor plans and elevation concepts for your review. Together, we will develop and refine these design concepts until you are satisfied that we have captured the essence of your dream home.

Your home design will mature and become more complete as we move from hand-drawn sketches to computer layouts. We will produce full-size floor plans, exterior elevations and a site plan for your final design approval.

When you have approved the design, our staff will create the permit drawings from which the house will be constructed. Structural engineering can be provided by CornerStone Designs or an engineer in your area. The time frame for a custom design is two months for a small home to six months for a grand estate, from our first conversations to delivery of permit drawings.

CornerStone Designs has a strong reputation for outstanding design quality, excellent technical drawings and superior customer service developed over our 17-year history and the production of over 30,000 fine homes. We look forward to the opportunity to assist you in creating your dream home. We want to be your family home designer!
