Our process,
step by step
Programming
We document how you want to live in the home and what the budget will actually support.
Schematic design
Floor plans and elevations, revised with cost feedback at each round.
Construction documents
Full drawing set with structural engineering and energy compliance calculations.
Permit submission
We submit to the county or city and manage plan review comments through approval.
Typical timeline
A complete permit-ready set typically takes 8 to 16 weeks depending on home size and how quickly design decisions are made. County plan review adds a further 3 to 8 weeks.
Home design and plan cost in the Treasure Valley
As of 2026, a permit-ready custom home drawing set with structural engineering and energy compliance runs roughly $9,000 to $35,000 in the Treasure Valley, or about 5 to 12 percent of construction cost. Simple single-level homes sit near the bottom of that range and large or complex designs above it.
These are planning ranges, not bids. Home size, structural complexity, and the number of design revision rounds drive the final figure, which we fix in writing after a programming session.

Why design-build for your home design & plans
As a design-build remodeler, we bring design, estimating, permitting, and construction under one contract and one accountable team. That removes the handoffs and finger-pointing that happen when a separate designer and general contractor are involved - and it keeps your home design & plans on a single, coordinated schedule.
You get a written scope before construction begins, clear allowances for selections, proactive communication throughout the build, and a workmanship guarantee when the project is complete.
