Visualization
Most people have trouble reading 2D house plans. It's much easier to see things
in 3D. Houseplans.com offers rendering and design services in 3D to help you make
better decisions about your project. Whether you're changing the size of your
house or changing its color we can help you see it before you build it.
BIM
Building information modeling is a system that we can use during customization and
custom design. We build your house on the computer to understand its design &
construction. The model is used to create construction drawings, renderings, and
analysis of your house. Call to get more information and pricing.

Famous House Museums And Architectural Styles To Jumpstart Your Home Design
What better time to explore some of the world's most famous houses than when you're in the middle of planning your own home.
We have a listing of favorite house museums open to the public, including each website, from the Gamble House in Pasadena, California (considered the ultimate Craftsman bungalow) to Thomas Jefferson's classical Monticello in Virginia; from Le Corbusier's modern Villa Savoye near Paris to the Mayan-inspired Hollyhock House by Frank Lloyd Wright in Los Angeles.
Building a new home suddenly makes you see everything in a new way or as if for the first time. You start wondering about the windows on your new house and that makes you look at the windows on other houses. This looking around phenomenon recalls a statement by the late great landscape San Francisco landscape architect Thomas Church, who said Look to your trees for they may have unrevealed beauty in their branches. He meant that with a little pruning you can bring out a tree's structure and perhaps its beauty. Our new Looking Around feature does something similar by helping you look more closely at key architectural details like windows, doors, porches, rooflines, lighting, ornamental patterns, and more. Think of it as an ever expanding collection of design ideas.
In this section you will find information about and links to a comprehensive range of home products for every room in the house, from appliances to zinc.
