3 Steps for Success in the Home Design Process

1. Hire an Architect

The first step in the home design process is to hire a reputable architect who can transfer your dream down onto paper and make it functional. Before you hire an architect, ask for references and check out some examples of their previous work.

2. Create a Design

If you don’t have a specific concept in mind yet, look through magazines for inspiration or drive through various neighborhoods to consider the design aspects of other homes you wish to emulate. Working with your architect, draw up a floor plan for your dream home. Consider the overview of your design, such as how many bedrooms and bathrooms you want. Think about the type of entryways you want connecting the rooms. Creating this basic interior layout will also help create the exterior design of your home.

3. Find a Builder

In addition to an architect, you also need a home building contractor on your team. These professionals will be working hand-in-hand with your architect to construct your new house. Your job will be to oversee the process and ensure it is in line with your vision.

Whether your dream residence is a tropical bungalow or a three-story house, you can rely on the brilliant architects at Blue Hawaii Drafting to guide you through the home design process.
