Please be weary of using this company. They charged our contractor $6800.00 for the plans to build a great room and garage addition. This was in addition to almost $2000.00 for the preliminary drawings. The design didn't require any plumbing, mechanicals, bathrooms, or kitchen. $6800.00 for one great room and an attached garage. Most plans for a 3 bedroom home with 2 bathrooms average less than $3000.00. The plans were 10 pages and consisted of lots of stock language used by software developed for house plan design. They charged more than $400 just to add a copy of a window already used in the plan. They responded with a long email trying to justify why it took months and many hours to complete this design. We did have five changes to the plan. Added 3 skylights, some windows, and a simple porch. These changes costs thousands of dollars. They claim it took more than 100 hours to design the plans for one room with an attached garage. Thank goodness we weren't doing a regular house. I can't imagine how much they would charge for that type of plan.
Unless money is of no concern, it would be best to avoid this business.

Dear Mr. DeVault-Edmondson,
We are disappointed to receive this review from you. Our company has been in business for over 20 years and I have been in the design field for over 25 years. We have worked with wonderful clients over the years and have a proven track record of high quality and excellent service. I am sorry that your contractor did not accurately explain the scope of the project and design requirements to complete your project. Your project is a consisted of 1,551 finished square footage, 312 sq.ft. of finished heated garage space and approx. 160 sq.ft. of new deck. It is a substantial project and investment for you. We take great care to provide a custom design meeting your requirements and to integrate the addition with your existing home. There was nothing stock about the plans we provided. We worked through each element of the construction of the house and its structural relationship to the existing structure to ensure a proper connections. We provided code analysis and detailed drawings to allow the builder to complete the construction your project with little to no issues. We feel our pricing is fair and reasonable for the custom design work provided. For the projected cost of this project the design fee is well within the estimated costs provided to the builder, and the time-frame which we explained to the builder. Also the information you provided in your review is false about our billing practices for changes, costs and time-frame and we feel that it is unfortunate you misrepresented our services & our business practices without any direct communication with our company.
Sincerely,
DCL Design Studio
