TECHNOLOGIST

THE STEPS OF PLAN DESIGN

STEP 1

free consultation with a technologist

At Plan Maison Québec , we know that a new construction or renovation project is one of the major projects of your life. It is for this reason that offering you a free first meeting by video conference with a technologist is part of the logical order of things in order to establish a first contact. This first meeting allows you to validate the feasibility of your project with your appointed technologist , with whom you must feel an accomplice, since the success of your project depends on this complicity between you and the latter.

BEFORE the meeting

In order to optimize your time and that of your technologist , we ask you before your first meeting to check with your city / municipality the regulations that govern your property, the zoning and the possibilities offered in terms of constructability, in order to ensure the feasibility of your project.


If you are short on time or would like us to take care of this step for you, just be sure to mention it to your technologist during the meeting, and he or she will make a proposal to you along the way.

STEP 3

Free consultation with a designer AND SUPPORT FOR THE CHOICE OF MATERIALS

At Plan Maison Québec , we have unearthed gems in 3D house plans and design , to help you refine your project.

A solid project is good, but a solid and design project is better! Our designers and 3D artists will be able to assist you in the choice of different materials and colors in order to create a decor in cohesion with your style. More than an aesthetic question, design is the expression of your identity (culture, passion, interests, etc.) and the response to various needs.

As the English expression says so well, the design makes it possible to create "a place called HOME!" "

VALIDATE YOUR PERCEPTIONS THANKS TO 3D

Rest assured, make more informed choices and satisfy your need to see high-quality, surprisingly realistic 3D renderings and perspectives.

Not only does 3D rendering of your house plans provide a better understanding of your construction / renovation project as a whole, it also makes your plans easier to read. It's up to you to choose what you want to see in 3D (kitchen, bathroom, exterior cladding) and we will do it for you.

Receipt of your quotes and meeting with contractors

Our VTA program at Plan Maison Québec gives you access to a bank of Verified, Tested and Approved professionals, and aims to facilitate one of the most important stages of a construction project : finding your team for the work.

Your technologist having validated with you the final details to be decided which may influence the cost of your project (ex: materials, heat pump system, lighting systems, landscaping, outdoor patio, finished basement, etc.), we can now know the real cost of your project and adjust as needed.

For uncertain details and questions still pending, contractors will simply set aside a margin in their budget, to address these items as needed, and apply the final changes to the construction contract later. For all of our clients, we are committed to getting you up to three 5-star contractor quotes, specializing in the type of work you are concerned about.
