Why do you charge $25.00 for a modification estimate request?
We get requests for modification estimates quite often. Each of these request have to be researched and it involves determining the possibilities of a plan modification, how it affect other parts of the design, how much time it will take to make the changes, and so on.
Our $25.00 fee cover the expense of the designer’s time to review your modification request and prepare an estimate. It does not include any sketches or extensive consulting.
If you need consultation after receiving your estimate, you can schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone call so that we can answer your questions. Additional time for phone consultation will be $50.00 per 30 minutes.
What is the process and how long does it take to modify a plan?
Modification jobs vary depending on the amount of changes, the size of the home, and our current workload.
Once the initial house plan modifications are made, you will receive a preliminary of the changes to approve or correct. Upon approval, the construction documents will be adjusted to the modifications and the plans will be finalized. We will deliver your newly modified plans to you once we have invoiced and received your final payment. Changes not included in the original estimate will result in additional fees and time.
On average, it take up to 2 weeks to modify a plan from start to finish; however, it may take longer depending on the complexity of your changes. An estimated time of completion will be included in your estimate.
