If you were to assemble a perfect set of construction drawings, what would they look like? They should have just enough information to clearly communicate with everyone involved in a construction project without carrying unnecessary extraneous information that could confuse or contradict.
Homescape's plans approach this ideal. They are comprehensive. A typical plan set includes:
For each architectural style represented in the Homescape plan library (Colonial, Craftsman, Timberframe, Farmhouse, Shingle Style, etc.) Homescape has prepared an Element Book that guides the builder in the production of interior and exterior details. The Element Book shows the general contractor and subcontractors how to achieve the desired architectural effect in every area of the home. For example, visit the links below to see sample pages from the Shingle Style Element Book.
For many builders and homeowners, one of the toughest decisions to be made in a new home is the exterior color palette. What color of siding best complements the shingle color? Does a particular choice enhance or detract from an architectural style?
Homescape has simplified the choice of exterior colors by producing an array of pre-defined color palettes specific to each architectural style. Peruse the following links to see a few pages from a Homescape Exterior Color Palette.
Homescape design experts are available to help you pick the colors, house plans, and architectural styles for your development. Refer to the Consulting section for more information.
