PRE-DESIGN QUESTIONNAIRE

109+maryland-101.jpg — THIS LIST OF QUESTIONS IS FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT BUILDING A NEW CUSTOM HOME. YOUR ANSWERS WILL ASSIST IN THE DESIGN PROCESS TO ENSURE YOUR HOME WORKS ON YOUR PROPERTY AND ACCOMMODATES YOUR IMMEDIATE AND FUTURE NEEDS.
PLEASE NOTE: RENOVATION + ADDITION PROJECT SERVICES ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE

In addition to these questions, consider finding examples of homes you like. Save images showing particular details, such as the front porch or the fireplace. Select photos that create a certain mood or feeling, like a bright, open kitchen, or anything else you’re drawn to. In addition, review floor plans to understand spatial relationships. For instance, the way the mud room connects to the kitchen, garage, or laundry areas. Save any that appeal to you, even if it’s just one specific area of the home.
