My experience with Alex was excellent. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable about all things involved with his job, all of the trades and services that orbit his job, he gives great advice on resources. He listened to my concerns and directly addressed them by suggesting a plan of action to move forward. You can tell when someone is goof at their job, and he is quite remarkable.

So excited to build the amazing modern house that Alex designed for us. From the first meeting he was very attentive to details and did a great job implementing our ideas. Alex kept our budget in mind from the beginning and was honest with us about the cost of certain design elements. But he always came up with innovative ways to implement similar designs within our budget. He was very quick to respond to emails, texts, and phone calls. I would recommend him to anyone looking to build their dream home.

I would recommend Nicolas Design & Development to anyone needing house plans. Alex was very quick to respond to all the questions we had along the way. The support after the plans were complete is just as good. Quality work, friendly prompt service.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    We provide a simple price per square foot to design your home which includes all of the plans necessary to submit for your building permits. Our plans are reviewed, signed & sealed by our state licensed structural engineer. The only other documents you generally will need is to obtain a survey (auto cad file), energy calculations, & truss engineering. During the design phase when we have locked your floorpan/design. We send your plans electronically to a Truss manufacturer. They provide a quote for your roof and/or floor trusses and generally release engineering after you send them a 10% deposit. We can also coordinate the survey & refer you to a professional who prepares energy calculations.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    We listen to all of your ideas and the space you would like us to design. We then verify your set back requirements and come up with an initial site plan & a floor plan. After that we design your front, rear, left, & right elevations.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. 24 years experience designing and building homes from Los Angeles to all over Florida.
