For new home build’s the planning and design requirements for basement developments are somewhat pre-determined by the home structure planned above it, as the overall structure of roof and foundation have been already considered in the upper levels. This can also somewhat limit the flexibility of the Basement Development Layout, unless the upper structure is re-designed to accommodate a client’s requirements. For new home builds the basement development layout design pricing is a lot less expensive than main floor design cost because most of the design work is already considered in the main structural drawings.
Basement development building cost for existing homes are a bit higher than doing new-home construction. This is mostly due to limited access to the home, as in most cases there is someone living in the home. This also increases prep-costs to help keep dust and other cleaning issues in check. Whereas Initial Home Design Consultation is a concept that generally takes place after feasibility studies and options appraisals have been carried out and a project brief has been prepared. Concept design is followed by ‘detailed design’ or ‘developed design’ during which all the main components of the building and how they fit together. Landen starts with an initial concept design consultation, whereby they meet client preferably at their existing residence to get a feel for what they plan to include in their new home or renovation. At this initial concept design phase landen creates right in front of you a too scale “thumbnail plan”, also known as a “bubble plan”. The best part of this initial concept design phase is there are no cost to you, and no obligation to continue.
