Can I start if I already have plans?
Yes, bring them to the conversation. QCGC’s current process requires a completed Design Package for each space it works on, even when plans already exist. We will review what is available and what still needs to be defined.
What is included in design?
Consultations, layout and space planning, material and finish selections, 3D renderings, and budget alignment are brought together in a Design Guide. The separate Plans Package addresses the construction documents needed for the project.
When will I receive construction pricing?
The construction proposal is developed from completed design and plans. Its scope, selections, allowances, exclusions and remaining conditions should be clear before you decide to sign.
What should I prepare?
Bring your goals, project location, planning stage and budget expectations. Available plans, surveys, photos and inspiration help explain what you want to create or change.
What does the initial site consultation cover?
QCGC’s initial consultation includes a home or site visit, a discussion of your goals and budget expectations, and identification of space, zoning and site constraints.
Are design and plans included in the construction price?
Design and Plans fees are separate from construction costs. The construction proposal is developed after design and plans are complete.
