The Design Deposit

The initial Design Deposit is applied in full toward the material package price. At this stage, preliminary floor plans and elevation plans are provided, and plan revisions/modifications requested by the purchaser and acceptable to the Habitat Post & Beam design/engineering department will be made; there is no separate design/architect fee for making changes to your plans.  Material package specifications and material package pricing will be estimated based on these drawings.  Please note that the material package price will be updated to reflect the addition or deletion of materials/changes to your plan.  For example, if you make changes or reduce the size of the design that would necessitate fewer material or that would simplify the design, the price will typically decrease, whereas if you increase the size or  make the design more complex, the price would typically increase.
