With a technologist, at a time that suits you
Your technologist: where to start?
First of all, it is worth remembering that when we design your plans at Plan Maison Québec, we work as a team. A team you are part of!
This means that even before the design of your construction plans begins, your project calls for careful thought. That is why the first discussions with your technologist to confirm that your project and your budget are feasible are free and without obligation.
Many factors come into play here. Rest assured: thanks to the real, personalized support of Plan Maison Québec, your technologist groups them into 4 categories: personal, architectural, technical, administrative and financial.
Defining your project
Before drawing anything, your technologist listens to your needs: your concept, your wishes, your lifestyle and your budget. If you have existing plans or sketches, share them along with your inspiration photos.
Next, your technologist checks with you that your project and your budget are feasible.
Moreover, once they know your project, your technologist can advise you on materials, heating, ventilation and other technical choices.
Our tip: write down your needs, your wishes and your budget before the meeting. The better prepared you are, the fairer the offer and the sooner you receive your plans!
Designing your plans
In every project, your technologist prepares clear, precise and detailed construction plans, using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
When needed, they work with the engineers and contractors on your project.
As a reminder, your municipality may ask for plans before it issues the permit. Your technologist then walks you through your detailed plans, and your feedback is used to adjust them.
To help them, share your existing plans, if any, your sketches and your inspiration photos, with examples of what you want. The more they know, the better they can design your plans.

Find inspiration and good ideas for your project
Semi-detached homes, multiplexes, houses, cottages or garages: the possibilities are many.
That is why we suggest you come to the meeting with your technologist with ideas, sketches and inspiration photos. As always, the more guidance you give your technologist, the better informed and equipped they will be to meet your needs. This will have a positive effect on your design costs.
Also, describe how you will use each room (kitchen, bedrooms, office, family room, storage) so that your technologist can plan for it.
Our tip: look at our models and our projects. A facade or a layout you like helps your technologist understand your style. You may find great inspiration in what already exists!
