The Signature Process

Enjoy a deep dive, collaborative design process to customize your home. This process allows you to come to the table with desires, but not necessarily have the solutions yet.

“The Entire Process Was Delightful.”

“ Our journey with Planiva was nothing short of exceptional. During their Signature Process, we collaborated closely with the team, to merge the original plans with our vision. The design phase was incredibly cooperative. They not only listened attentively to our ideas but also used his architectural expertise to bring them to life. They were determined to achieve our complete satisfaction. They’re blend of creativity and practicality was invaluable, especially as we made significant changes to the floor plan without altering the overall footprint. The response time was swift, Planiva's system was efficient and transparent, and the entire process was a delightful experience. We're thrilled with the final plans and have already started building, seeing our vision materialize! I highly recommend Planiva and their team for an outstanding design experience!”

— L. and R. Anderson, The Haven

PHASE 1 PLAN FOR POSSIBILITY

  • THE DESIGN PROCESS

    Our signature process includes full design collaboration with our team. Phase 1 kicks off with a discovery hour and accompanying worksheet to understand all of the ins and outs of your vision. From there, we’ll go through two rounds of design and review calls together. We work through our deep dive process to help understand your lifestyle, suggest options, and create a home that is perfect for you. We’ll help you determine what you truly need and want to customize.

  • AT THE END OF THIS PHASE

    The first phase of the process delivers you an initial set of customized drawings to use for permits and planning. This allows you to get a local cost estimate and get your ducks in a row before moving into Phase 2. Please note, this set of drawings is not intended for construction and does not include a license to build the home.

PHASE 2 READY TO BUILD

  • DETAIL & PREP

    Phase 2 is all about working your customized design into a drawing set for you to use for construction. We kick off this phase with a review call to make any design tweaks that are needed after Phase 1. From there, we put our heads down and craft your unique drawing set. When we’re done, we send you all of your files, have an onboarding call for you and your contractor, and are always available via email throughout your build.

  • AT THE END OF THIS PHASE

    The second phase of the process delivers your customized builder-ready drawing set containing the essential drawings for a contractor to build your new slice of paradise. We take pride in delivering a quality product, which means our drawings include a level of detail and resources that are not typically found in stock plans, but rather seen in a custom home project.

REVISED STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
Typically, the structural drawings will need to be updated based on your customized revisions. The fee to update the structural drawings is not included in this proposal. Our structural consultant is available for hire or you may use a structural engineer of your choice. Our structural team is licensed in every state, can modify the structural requirements for your land, and can stamp the drawings for local permitting, if necessary.

That said, we can provide drawings for your contractor, mechanical engineer, or heating/cooling distributor to use for coordination.

FINISH SELECTIONS
We not include specific suggestions on interior/exterior finishes, fixture, or furniture selections. If this is desired, we offer a Finish Package that you can add-on to your Signature Process.
