Building Your Dream Home Phase II Once you have decided to proceed with building your dream house and have spent time with your designer or architect describing and defining your wants and needs, you will enter the design phase. Preliminary sketches will show the general arrangement of rooms and how the house will fit on the site. These are not finished construction documents and are meant to show possible approaches. These sketches will be refined and revised until a plan is developed that meets your needs and desires. At this point you should also have a rough estimate of construction costs. You will need to approve these sketches before proceeding any further.
Design development includes preparing more detailed drawings showing other aspects of the proposed design. Plans will show elevations, rooms in correct size and shape, and list major materials and finishes. Be sure to review every element to make sure you understand and agree with the design.
