Date: 5:35 am | Placed in Articles |

If you’ve already decided to design as much of your home as you can without the help of an architect, this planning scenario takes you through the beginning steps required to gather the information, resources and examples necessary to enable you to design your own home. You will begin to see some of the required knowledge that goes into the planning of the home of your dreams. Whether it’s building a new home or remodeling an existing one, both processes are exactly the same.

-Get inspired. Planning your new home is the most critical moment of the process, and the most fun. Capitalize on the magical inspiration every project needs to make a house, a home – yours! Capture the lightning-in-a-bottle that motivates you in the first place to design your own home. Pick up the right home furniture. Write it all down, keep a scrap book, bookmark pictures in books, take pictures, whatever your preferred method.

-Get organized. You need documents that contain information you’ve gathered which serves to direct your planning efforts. Accurate documents focus attention on facts. Basic information eliminates “Pie-in-the-Sky” dream scenarios which waste time, effort and people’s patience. Start with a Requirements List sort of gardening, coffee break table, banquet chairs, and bbq spot.

-Find a scheme. You’ll want to consider several different designs to find the scheme that best fits your needs. Schemes are freehand sketches drawn to capture the essence of a plan under consideration. They can be as simple as paper napkin sketches or professionally illustrated drawings. All are valid tools and each serves the purpose to convey a concept.

-Develop the design. This is the phase of the process where dimensions are added to the drawings. Everything must be made to fit at this phase. You will develop your scheme into a completely dimensioned drawing. With a conceptual design roughed out, scheme chosen, a theme decided upon and problems on the site ironed out, you are fitting all the pieces of the puzzle together in this step. You know you are done here when you have located on paper the location of every door and window in the house.

-Draft plans. The takeaway from this step is a fully detailed set of plans that the city and construction workers will use to build your home.

Enjoy your own house building.
