The August House Co. Design Process
Residential Design
Designing your custom home should feel clear, streamlined, and intentional. Here’s how we bring your vision to life:
Phase One: Schematic Design
We begin with a site visit and develop the foundational concept—initial site plan, floor plan concepts, exterior vision, and a front elevation sketch.
Phase Two: Design Development
We refine the design by detailing floor plans, cabinetry, windows and doors, materials, and full exterior elevations with 3D renderings.
Phase Three: Construction Documents
We create the complete, code-compliant construction document set your builder needs for bidding, permitting, and construction. Voila, your home is ready to be built!
Timeline: Typically 2–3 months from the start of design.
Interior Design
As an optional upgrade to our services, we offer Interior Design. Our two upgrade packages, Interiors and Selections, offer everything you need to create a cohesive space that’s suited to your home’s design and your personal style.
-
This package includes electrical plans and/or interior elevations. Electrical plans are created to locate lighting & fan fixtures, switches, outlets, and TV hookups. Interior elevations are created to show details of all walls with cabinetry, built-ins, fireplace/chimney walls, interior staircase(s), and any significant or unique architectural features like cased openings, ceiling treatments/details, etc. If requested, we can also provide additional interior elevations such as: wall tile and pattern/layout design, and trim work/feature walls.
-
In this upgrade, we’ll design and coordinate all the selections and finishes throughout the home (i.e. anything attached to the house). First, we’ll start by working on mood boards for all the major rooms/spaces to create a feel and theme throughout. Once approved, we’ll source all the selections & finishes (appliances, cabinetry & hardware, countertops, doors & hardware, flooring, tile, lighting, plumbing, stairs, mirrors, trim, wall finishes for exterior & interior, etc) and create a comprehensive spreadsheet.
