Sierra Design Group

Why plan with Sierra Design Group?

All of our plans are generated from Computer Aided Drafting and Modeling programs. This process is used to assist our client in visualizing their new home, as well as allowing our design team to accurately develop the structure and file drawings in a safe manner. In addition, each home is drawn and engineered to meet individual county requirements.

Why spend money on hand drawn plans that aren't accurate and don't show you what your house really looks like? Why waste even more money and time with a simple design change that takes hours to re-draw? When you plan with SDG, you will know exactly what you're getting. We are confident that through using the latest, most efficient, and most accurate architectural technology, you will end up with a superior set of house plans, costing you less.

How do I benefit from having my home drawn in 3D photo realism?

Without a doubt, the #1 benefit our clients tell us they experience when they begin to see the images of their home is…”I get to see what my dream home will really look like before it is built”. The impact of these images are so powerful, you will either be relieved and excited (because it looks like you imagined it would) or unhappy and change the direction of the design. Either way you win…we make sure you get what you want, and that’s GOOD design practice!

The second benefit is how value filled our 3D format is compared to what other people are getting from their design firm. You will be quite impressed to find out that you will have your own web site and receive all of these images for the same price that other people are only just getting 2D line drawings for. Our clients cannot believe that people are making critical decisions without all of these images…nor can we!

The third benefit comes from the builder. Change orders are reduced to almost nothing during the time of construction. This is a huge cost savings for you. Change orders are usually caused from not understanding what was designed. Our 3D images eliminates this exposure.

The benefits from our 3D PHOTO REALISTIC approach have proven to be incredibly powerful and valuable. After interviewing our clients, the builders and our staff, I wanted to share with you the benefits that we all are encountering:

COMPLETE DESIGN VISION	The images are very important for completely understanding the look of the home compared to what is in your mind.
PROBLEM SOLVING	The images help display design problems…like removing a dormer etc.
DESIGN COMPREHENSION	The images create a high level of understanding relating to specific design elements: decks, dormers, balconies etc.
A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL	The images create a bridge during the lag time of design and the completion of the home…keeps you motivated and happy.
LAND VIEWS ARE OPTIMISED	The images aid in the physical placement on the land to take advantage of views, drive approach etc.
EXPERIENCE EXPOSED BEAMS & LOGS	Images help us illustrate, in great detail, the roof and floor structures with exposed logs and timbers.
ANXIETY REDUCER	The images establish a TRUE TRUST in the custom design created…it removes the anxiety of not knowing what the home will look like, for real.
AIDS IN FURNITURE LAYOUT	The images of interiors helps direct furniture layout which could cause a floor plan change if not caught right away.
FUN TO SHARE	The images are a lot of fun to share with friends and family around the country. Getting input from friends or family is sometimes the most important aspect of this service…another anxiety reducer.
COMMUNICATION AT ITS BEST	The images coupled with our client web site format, has increased the communication level to an appreciated all time high.
SOLVES DESIGN/COST ISSUES	The images can aid with the overall cost issue of a home. Because of the pictures, you begin to understand the home design better. So when there is a need for those tough decisions to downsize or do something different to bring the home into budget, 3D becomes the tool of immense value.

When designing a custom home, you have “one shot” to get it right…why take a chance and get it wrong? As far as we are concerned, your home designed in 3D PHOTO REALISM is the only way to design your DREAM home.
