The cost of design and plan preparation is a major factor in determining the overall project budget. Several factors can influence these costs, and here are some of the key considerations:

Factors Influencing the Cost

The total cost of a custom remodeling plans depends on several factors:

• Location: Your property’s location can significantly affect costs, especially due to differences in local building codes, permitting requirements, and labor costs.
• Size of the Remodel: Larger remodels require more design and engineering work, which naturally increases the overall cost.
• Complexity of the Project: The complexity of the remodel plays a major role in determining the cost. For example:
  - Single-Room Remodel: While more straightforward, these projects still require careful integration with the existing structure, particularly in terms of layout and utilities.
  - Whole-House Remodel: Renovating an entire home involves additional considerations such as structural engineering, layout redesign, and compliance with building regulations.
  - Structural Remodel: The scope may call for different alterations to the existing structure, and depending on their complexity, the price may be affected.
• Construction Techniques: The use of innovative or specialized construction techniques can add to both the design complexity and overall cost.

Cost Range

Given the many variables, it’s helpful to understand the general cost range for custom remodel design services. For a small to medium-sized project, prices typically start at around $4,000 to $7,000. This range generally covers simpler remodels, such as a basic single-room renovation.

For larger or more complex projects - such as whole-house remodels, unique architectural designs, or those involving challenging site conditions - the cost can range from $10,000 to $20,000 or more. These projects require extensive design work, detailed structural plans, and often involve navigating more complex regulatory requirements.

Getting an Accurate Estimate

When planning your remodeling project, it’s crucial to understand the expected timeframe and what deliverables you’ll receive. At QuickenPlans, we prioritize a balance between speed and attention to detail, ensuring your design is completed promptly while meeting all necessary standards and requirements.

Timeframe: A Collaborative Process

The timeline for remodeling plans is a shared effort, relying both on our expertise and your timely feedback. It’s essential to recognize that this is a partnership; the quicker you can provide input and make decisions, the faster we can progress through each phase.

Here’s what you can generally expect:

• Initial Concept Development: After our design kick-off meeting, we typically deliver the first concept iteration within 10-15 business days. This is the first key milestone where you’ll start to see your vision come to life.
• Overall Completion Time: The full design process, from initial consultation to final deliverables, usually spans 2-4 months. This timeframe is achievable with active client engagement and prompt feedback at each stage. Delays in decision-making can extend the overall timeline.

Deliverables: What You’ll Receive

The specific deliverables for your remodeling plans can vary depending on local regulations and the complexity of your project. However, the following key components are typically included:

• Building Plans: This comprehensive set of plans includes:
  - Site Plan: A detailed layout of the addition on your property, showing its relationship to existing structures and property boundaries.
  - Floor Plan: A plan view of the remodeling area's layout, including room dimensions, and the placement of doors, windows, and fixtures.
  - Elevations (for exterior alterations): Exterior views of the subject property from all sides, highlighting design elements such as rooflines, windows, and materials.
  - Sections: Cross-sectional views that illustrate the relationship between different levels and spaces within the remodeling area.
  - Basic MEP Plan: Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing plans that outline the necessary systems and fixtures.
  - Roof Plan (if applicable): A detailed view of the roof, including pitch, materials, and any special features like skylights.
  - Details: Specific construction details such as wall assemblies and other critical components.
• Structural Drawings and Calculations (if applicable): These documents provide the necessary structural information, including framing, foundation, and other details, ensuring that the plans meet all safety and building code requirements.
• Energy Efficiency Report: If required by local or state regulations, this report assesses the remodel’s compliance with energy efficiency standards, promoting sustainability and lower operating costs.
