— FAQ
Questions about house design online
The questions people ask before designing a house for the first time.
What do I need before publishing?
The address or the measurements of the plot, an idea of the programme and of the construction budget. A topographical survey helps but can come later.
Can the design be used for the planning permission?
Yes, if the proposal includes the planning drawings. Each proposal describes the deliverables: concept, design development, planning drawings and building regulations drawings.
How much does a house design cost?
Publishing is free. Each professional sends their own proposal, with a price and a timeline. You pay per stage, as you approve the deliveries.
Does the architect supervise the construction?
If you want. Ask for it in the brief and filter architects by your region when comparing proposals.
How long does it take?
Each proposal gives the timeline per stage. A house concept usually takes weeks; construction drawings take longer. You follow each stage on the platform.
