How to Work with us on your Dream Home

We are pleased that you are interested in having John Henry Architect provide design services for your new residence.  There are a variety of services that we can offer you. 

A.  We can provide a custom design 'from scratch' based on your specific style, budget, space layout, and site considerations.  (see also Ultra Custom Services) We normally use our Permit Set with Options contract format.   See Exhibit B this page.

B.  You may start from an existing set of drawings that we have pre-designed, either Schematics only or in Permit Set stage (basic 'Builder Set').  Start here to see a collection of designs, or select from nearly any project on our web site.   We can further modify up to a certain point or must redraw most or the entire set.  See Exhibit A this page.

C.  We can take preliminary designs or concept plans from other sources and correct, amend, elaborate, per your specifications  providing they do not violate copyright laws.  We can create a new plan and also offer interior architecture services for any home, pre-owned or new.  A custom contract will be forwarded based on your specifications, suggested format is via our Questionnaire (ignore payment information at bottom for this option)

In any case, we offer further options to add construction and design details (exterior and interior) and material/performance specifications, contract administration, etc. that are explained in our Contracts.

Please note that we do not offer plan books nor send copies of any of our floor plans unless we are under contract, due to copyright issues.  We prefer to custom design a home for you from scratch, but realize that either time or budget issues may make working from an existing design expedient.

PROCEDURE TO START FROM EXISTING OR STOCK PLANS:  We will send out a Contract proposal to anyone interested in obtaining one or more study copies of our plans that would best suit overall style and layout interests.  See Exhibit A for a sample, this page.  You must first print our Questionnaire, fill out and fax back, in order that we have as clear an idea as possible about what you have in mind. 

 

     

We will send you a customized quote or proposal per your specifications.

******************************************************************************************************

This offer constitutes designated services as indicated in above descriptions and schedule. Schematic floor plans and Preliminary elevations are for planning purposes alone although they may be sufficient to be used as models for a construction document set. They do not constitute buildable plans. Further development is necessary, which may include architectural and landscape design; civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineering, etc. Code compliance is also necessary in order to ultimately secure a building permit.

The style of home available is limited to period style work or historic designs established prior to Modern Movement architecture. No avant garde, Deconstruction, or eccentric design of any kind is offered, although special arrangements can be made to fulfill these requests.

Calculations for total area or square footage (SF) includes all air conditioned space and garages, storage, covered porches, outbuildings, covered passages, etc. constituting area 'under roof’ [measured to outside face of structural wall, not including brick or stone veneers].

Client Questionnaire and other materials forwarded to Architect at initial submittal for development of Schematic Floor plan and Preliminary Elevation constitute scope of work, especially total area to be designed and certain relationships between spaces and site (if applicable).  This information is basis of contract for services.  If scope (i.e. style, size, lot, space relationships, etc. as described in Questionnaire) changes during the design process  then a change in contract terms necessarily follows.  Client will be appraised of costs of changes not covered in Fee Schedule due to change in scope.

Client agrees to use design for one-time build-out only. Builders and developers may inquire for repeat use and customization. Architect reserves all rights for designs and plans submitted under contract including copyright. Client must include name of architect in any media description of finished construction based on work completed per this agreement. Architect assumes no liability whatsoever as to the ultimate use of designs provided to client unless retained to complete construction documentation and specifications.

Designs per contract descriptions will be forwarded in a timely matter and architect will apply his skill, talent, and experience in a conscientious manner to provide Client with SCHEMATIC and PRELIMINARY designs that meet or exceed standards of the industry. No guarantees or warranties are implied or stated. Refunds will not be granted under any circumstances.

The Client is welcome to request further background materials from architect, including brochures and testimonials on which to base a decision to proceed with this agreement. John Henry is a licensed architect in the State of Florida (no. 13013),Texas (no. 10945), Delaware and Illinois. Mr. Henry can offer professional services constituting schematic floor plans and preliminary elevations in any of the United States except where services or any offers herein are void where prohibited or disallowed by city, local, state or federal statutes.
