Customizing Your BC Mountain Home Plan
At BC Mountain Homes, we believe that no two building sites are exactly alike,
and that the needs and individual preferences of every client are unique. This
explains why searching for an existing stock plan that is a perfect fit can be
such a frustrating activity.
Fortunately, BC Mountain Homes offers a solution: Our stock plan customization
service is a cost effective process in which you can create a custom tailored
home embodying your ideas and individual requirements while taking full
advantage of the opportunities of your building site.
Click here to see how a BC Mountain Home Plan can be customized.
The customization process begins with your ideas. Choose a stock plan that
most closely suits your needs but requires some fine tuning to become a perfect
fit, or contact us for an initial design consultation in which we will suggest
suitable stock plans which best respond to your situation.
Our design team will then work closely with you to facilitate the changes to the
plans and bring your vision to fruition. Our familiarity with our home
designs and years of plan alteration experience allow us to integrate changes
while maintaining the integrity of the original plan. Together we will
determine which alterations will best respond to your requirements and prepare
an estimate for the revisions. Preliminary design changes will be
presented for review and the plan modified again if necessary, before the final
drawings are completed. The whole process from initial consultation to
final drawings can take as little as 3 weeks, although 4-6 weeks is preferable
as it allows more time to reflect on design decisions.
Listed below is a sample of the plan customization options available through the
BC Mountain Homes customization service.
