When Lindsay is able to provide sketches (during the consult) they will be loose hand drawings like this image. They can never be to scale, but rather will offer you a solid idea or floor plan option. Sometimes we might accomplished more during the consult. Each consult allows her different amounts of time to accomplish this part.
With this info below you can get a lot more out of your consult :
1. your Physical Survey (if you have one it will give you loads of important information about setbacks/ easements/ build-able area/ etc.
2. Also, if you have an old set of architectural plans of the home - that would be an invaluable asset to your early planning.
3. A list of priorities (budget and timing being 2 of those items besides spatial parameters and desired changes).
4. Know where the sun rises and sets around your home and any other environmental conditions.
5. The intangibles - Know your privacy needs, sound separations needs, how you entertain, etc.
6. Gather your Deed & Covenants and read any part that covers new additions, building materials, positions of garages, height of the home, outbuildings, fence heights, etc (some neighborhoods have setbacks that are more stringent than the county zoning! ) Also Neighborhood Design Review process and guidelines if applicable.
7. Style images you like (online or magazine pages can help - not many - just a few)
****Email to discuss further and/or to set up an appointment.
