custom designs are $2 per square foot under roof.
construction drawings are $1 per square foot under roof.

How Do We Calculate the Fee?
For new construction, the design fees will be calculated on the square footage of the largest design produced by DT. For remodeling, the design fees will be calculated based on spaces being added to the existing structure, and existing spaces which will be reconfigured. Construction document fees will be based on the square footage of the approved design.

I will research your specific site and develop a list of restrictions, zoning regulations, building setbacks, etc. which will govern your project. Google Maps & Earth will be used to research neighborhood conditions, surrounding housing, etc.

I will discuss your wish list for the design, and establish guidelines including ideal size, number of bedrooms, style of home, number of stories, orientation on lot, etc.

I will create a 3D model of your home using Google Sketchup Pro. This model will include the site plan, building structure, interior fixtures and cabinets, doors, windows, finishes, site trees, sidewalks, etc.


I will setup your client page on dantyree.com which will keep all your project information organized. You will be able to download the current design in Sketchup format and view or edit using free Sketchup software.

client

You will provide feedback on the design to Dan Tyree by email or phone. During the project and afterwards, you will be able to download the Sketchup models, still images, and videos of your new home design. The Sketchup model can be exported to most CAD programs.

You will pay a $2000 payment each month until the design fees have been paid.

I will create up to 3 sets of design drawings before additional hourly charges apply. The designs will be available for download in Sketchup and PDF formats.

client

You will pay remainder of design fees.

client

To begin the Construction Document phase, you will sign a design approval and provide Dan Tyree with 50% of the Construction Document fees. During the design phase, the client can make whatever changes they wish. If the client requests changes after signing the Design Approval, any changes will be charged at $75 per hr.

Dan Tyree will take your completed Sketchup design and create construction drawings using Google Layout software. These drawings print on 36x24 (D size) paper. They can be duplicated at most printers.
These drawings typically include Floor Plans, 4 Exterior Elevations, Roof Slope Plan, Electrical Fixture Plans, Foundation Plan, 2 Wall Sections, Foundation Details, Site Plan Layout & Construction Details.

Dan Tyree will publish the Sketchup, Layout, and PDF files of your plans to your client page on dantyree.com for review. The PDF version of the plans is very convenient for emailing to potential builders, suppliers, subcontractors and curious family members.

If you want your site plan modeled in 3D, you must provide an accurate topography survey.

If you are building on a sloping lot, and provide a topography survey, then the plans will include a 3D modeled site with contours. The images below are an example.

client

You will provide final comments, and any change requests before final printing.

Dan Tyree will print 4 sets of final plans. Dan Tyree will charge for any printing in addition to the 4 sets of final plans. Dan Tyree's engineer will sign and seal the plans for your specific state [ available for all US states, except California, Illinois, Hawaii, and Alaska. does not include energy calculations]. Plans for international clients will not be engineered, signed and sealed.

client

You will pay the balance due on your account.

Dan Tyree will ship the drawings to you. Engineered drawings are guaranteed for permit. DT may place a 2' x 3' sign on the client's site during construction, which can be discarded when construction is completed.

During construction, a builder may choose to alter specific construction techniques to better suit project conditions or the builder's preference. These changes must be expressed in an engineering letter. These letters will be charged at the standard hourly rate (if engineering is available for the state where construction is located). Site visits during construction will be charged at the standard hourly rate.
