Once you determine to partner with Hudson Home Designs, we will schedule an on-site consultation. This affords our designers a firsthand account of your specific needs and requirements. Throughout the course of this initial consultation, we will take field measurements, notes and pictures of all applicable elements, noting any concerns within your existing home. We will also communicate and make notes of all your suggestions, ideas and needs you might have. We will collaborate with you to establish the optimal way to proceed. This is your vision, and we are excited to help bring it to life.

Upon completion of the on-site consultation, our design team will create an initial conceptual design for your review. This initial conceptual draft also allows you the opportunity to address any questions or concerns you may have thus far.

Keep in mind this is just a starting point towards giving you your desired results.We will continue to work with you until you are completely comfortable and satisfied. Our main priority is to design the exact space you are looking for.

Our conceptual designs consist of applicable, rough sketches of the floor plan(s), as well as 3-D Elevation(s). If at this time you sign off that we are headed in the right direction, you will have the opportunity to take sketches home with you for a more thorough review. This will allow you the opportunity to contemplate further commits, questions, and/or suggestions for the next stage in the project.

During this phase, plan reviews will be sent back and forth through email, unless you request otherwise. We have found that streamlined email communication reduces unnecessary delays in the design process while reducing the stress associated with finding time for office meetings and syncing calendars. We know how valuable your time is and strive to make this process as convenient as possible. Furthermore, email allows you to review the design plans at your pace. Essentially we are your copilots; you remain in control throughout the entire design process. Once you approve and are completely satisfied, we will proceed to the final set.

During this phase, we will finalize all the technical requirements and documentation needed by the builder to begin the project. It is very important that you make the decision to continue to final set when you are completely ready and confident. Once completed we will provide you with both electronic and printed versions of the plan ready for distribution and construction.

Continued support: we will be here for you throughout the entire construction process, eager to answer any questions anyone has during the entire construction phase. We want to ensure that your addition/remodel successfully comes to fruition. Be sure to let us know any way we can be of assistance!

• Additional copies: run out of copies? Not to worry, we can print you more! In most cases, we will have your prints ready same day.

• Material estimations: as we mentioned earlier, we have over 14 years experience in both building and design. We can provide you with a complete list calculation of materials to help you and/or your builder produce an estimate more accurate than the traditional methods used industry wide. We will happily do the work for you upon request.

What our typical set of construction documents include:

What to expect and how to be prepared for your addition.

First and foremost, your project must start with having a set of well-documented construction plans to follow. If you plan to build an addition to your existing home, we may first need to obtain an original site plan. Best-case scenario, you may have a copy in your homeowners closing documents. If not, they can be obtained by contacting a local surveyor to develop a plan that will notate and locate all existing structures. Providing a site plan will enable our designers to present you with a complete design. Please note: in some cases a site plan may not be required. However, Hudson Home Designs will be more than happy to help you determine if this will be required. We appreciate your consideration and hope to work with you soon!

Remodeling your home can quickly become a daunting project, with many phases requiring not only expertise in design but also structural know-how. At Hudson Home Designs, we are up to the task! We believe that the remodeling process should be an exciting journey. Hudson Home Designs combines over 19 years of experience in building, remodeling and designing home additions, culminating in a design that is tailored to your exact requirements and personal tastes.
