Value Added Design:
enhances construction projects beyond their basic function to increase market value, and improve user experience.* It involves integrating strategic, user-centered, and often cost-saving improvements early in the development process to stand out from competitors. Key strategies include maximizing functional efficiency, enhancing aesthetics (sense of place), optimizing materials,(cost-benefit) and improving sustainability (lowering Heating & Cooling costs) to achieve better performance at a similar or lower cost.

At Value Added Design, we help you make cost-effective choices that will add value to your property as part of the design process. This allows you to add value to your life!
We can provide continuous support as required, whether it is for construction details or for on-site inspections.
Project Management
We can provide detailed cost estimates along with your plan to help your plans reflect your budget and make wise choices, initially.
We can also provide on-going project management as a designer-builder option for complete support similar to Reverse Real-Estate Services: Helping to guide you through the planning, permitting and building stages to make the right choices and investments to help the Project maximize and retain value over time. This can help you to meet your goals and achive your desires, while providing a good financial investment, as well.
These services are available at a rate similar to real-estate services ~ 2.5% of Project cost. We can provide consultation & administration services during the building process to give the home-owner access to Rebates that can pay for, or even exceed the cost of these services, as well.
If you decide that you need & want the building plans only – that is certainly possible as well – and a great place to start!
Plans & estimated costs are costed on an hourly rate basis – and tend to run near the 1% range of project costs. For plans only, further savings are available. With better initial planning, the savings add up through the building process.
