Process, Pricing and Timeline

Designing a custom home is a big step — but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. At QuickenPlans, we guide you through a clear, collaborative process designed to simplify decisions and keep your project moving forward.

01

Site Analysis & Due Diligence

We start by reviewing your lot details, local zoning, and applicable codes to understand what's possible on your site. From slope and setbacks to height limits and utility access, this gives us a smart foundation for the design.

02

Design Kick-Off

We'll meet to talk through your goals, inspiration, and must-haves. Whether you're building your forever home or a high-performance investment property, this is where we align on vision, lifestyle, and long-term priorities.

03

Concept Design Development

With your input, our team begins shaping the layout and flow of your home. You'll review concept drafts and provide feedback as we refine each version until the design feels just right.

04

Permitting Set of Plans

Once the concept is approved, we coordinate the preparation of your full permit-ready plan set — ready for submittal to your local building department.

05

Plan Review & Permitting

We assist with submittal and stay on top of the review process. If revisions are requested, we handle those promptly and work with the city to move your project through approval as efficiently as possible.

06

Construction Support

Even after your permit is issued, we remain available to support your contractor with design clarifications and engineering adjustments. Our goal is to help you build exactly what we designed — no confusion, no delays.
