Custom Design FAQ

Custom Home Design Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Custom Home design process entail?

When you are ready for us to help you design your next home, we have an initial consultation to get ideas and sketches. It’s a good idea to compile your ideas, sketches and photos in a folder to bring with you. We will then generate a preliminary plan, which will depict the ideas that you bring with you to the initial visit and those discussed at that first meeting. If you haven’t quite decided on the front view for your desired home layout, we can work with you by looking through picture books and other home plans to help you decide how you want the front of your home to look. Once a preliminary plan has been agreed upon, we can email files for approval of changes along the way. We usually allow a few sets of changes to that preliminary design before moving to construction documents.
After this preliminary stage, we start on final construction documents (basically, the rest of the plans, i.e., elevations, electrical, foundation, mechanical, etc.) At this point, the designer and client should be in agreement that the layout of the design is final and ready for generation of all plans. All of our plans are drawn in AutoCADD software, so custom home plans can be completed quite efficiently and very accurate.

A house cannot be built into a dream home unless there’s a great set of house plans to build it from. That being said, Madden Home Design’s main goal in serving its clients is to provide them with a custom design that will meet all of the ever changing building codes, while at the same time, exceeding their every expectation for their next home. We strive to provide our clients with house plans that convey their wishes and desires, as well as being easy to read and easy to build from, and thus making construction easier in the field. The quality of detail in our plans is what separates us from the competition.

We focus on clean, elegant home designs. We believe this is why more and more homebuilders are turning to Madden Home Design because our plans are leaving few questions later on during the building process.

Can I have an Address Where This Plan Has Been Built?

No. For privacy reasons, we cannot give out addresses of clients who have purchased our plans. We sometimes receive photographs once the house is built and will be happy to provide you with a copy if available.

We now accept credit card payments for your Custom Home plans.
