How Long Does The Design Process Typically Take?

Like the cost of the home this depends on many factors. A higher level of service will take more time and the more people that are involved (like an Acoustic or Envelope consultant) will also take additional time. The number of deliverables that are required at different stages of design all take time as well. It may be better to consider the design process as a number of stages rather than looking at it in terms of time as the specifics of a project will dictate how long it will take. However, be prepared for this process to take a number of months on a custom built home as many conversations between yourself and the Architect will be required over many weeks to discuss various parts of the design from the vision all the way down to exactly which fireplace model you want to include.
