BEFORE & AFTER ACTUAL HOUSE PLANS HOUSE PLANS DETAILS

"They say that the devil's in the house plans details. Hell's bells, house plans details are all there are to good home plans well done." AG '05

Now you see it, now you see it better-off . . . the other Lady Liberty has been here . . .

This website section is divided into home plans parts (above) showing you representations of work commonly seen as done by others (when it’s done at all) and actual unique home plans contents done by Before The Architect for actual clients. We call it BEFORE & AFTER.

Please note that this website section represents a small sampling of whassup with BTA's interest and achievements in house plans details. Firstly, there are too many house plans details to get 'em all on the website without inordinate time spent, and new presentations pop up all the time in the course of making our daily bread. Secondly, FrontPage is sufficiently cranky that it's often a lose-lose situation to adapt existing work to the rigors of the software - you lose the opportunity to study anew and BTA loses the opportunity to share. On just that point, this custom home designer had to delete webpages on arch design and exterior, concrete stairs with porcelain tile clad. Seamless technology, phooey.

This is about home plans nitty-gritty of getting your unique home plans right the first time.

You may ask, “Before & After what?”

You’ll find comparisons of how Before The Architect develops unique home plans and how the other guys develop home plans (or good humor to take the place of nothing from the other guys).

Comparisons between Before The Architect and the others – see for yourself –

Side-by-side comparisons when something around here compares and

A side-by-side when something comparable cannot be found or just isn't done by the other guys. Some things that Before The Architect does appear unique and you’ll learn why.

Please note that not all these home plans from Before The Architect require all these unique home plans detail schedules - some do, some don't, some need others. It depends - what's necessary to convey really important aspects of a unique home plans set in more detail than conveyed elsewhere in the home plans.

Please note, too, that not all the schedules Before The Architect can do are referenced herein under. many, many others - included in Home Design Standards-Home Building Standards - involve....

Home interiors light in a breakthrough approach created by AG to line selected science and common sense with retail environment to the ultimate benefit particularly of aging eyes

An example of a Before The Architect-completed checklist initially presented by a local building authority having jurisdiction, the purpose to which was from the authority's vantage to make sure plans set submissions are complete and from Before The Architect's point of view to make sure that the authority's job sorting through exceptional home plans set detail got off to a good start and stayed on track by specific references from the checklist to plans set entries

A schedule defining trim pieces and their specific physical association to get the look the clients' wanted

An extensive, one-of-a-kind attic ventilation schedules to promote adequate passive and active attic venting including calculations and keys

An environmental schedule to delineate essential, unique home design standards applied in the plans set and expected to be applied subsequently in materials and methods

Nearly a dozen-and-a-half real Detail text and unique home drawings on, among other subjects, arches, dormers, several aspects to interiors and extraordinary exterior stairway unique home designs, Classical Order presentation, concealed elevation, etc.

In its essence, what makes Before The Architect different from the others?

Before The Architect’s principals have been both unique home designers and unique home builders for going on 4 decades together.

You can see it in their home plans work –

	Respecting owners in attentively home-designing safety, durability, and convenience functions into owner-desirable forms *and*
	Respecting builders in builders’ own language, taking so much of home designing out of residential contractors’ hands, and directing them to their job of home building without a whole lot of wiggle-room.

You get home plans that go way past most common home plans standards –

	It takes an extra effort to minimize ignorance, unpleasant surprise, misunderstanding and, worst, even attempt to defend against deceit. Before The Architect home plans can run 30-50 sheets.
	Common home plans standards are not especially informative or disclosive either to owners or home builders, leaving residential contractors to home-design for you or surprise you about immediate decisions for which you're immediately unprepared.

You hire individuals who have spent most of two working lifetimes with unique home plans - home designing, home building, home design remodeling, home design repairing, home design and home building consulting.

	Generally, Before The Architect’s principals used to give away home plans designs to assess other ways to build or rebuild, to reckon a potential investment’s viability, to do the work they’d home-designed, to get the job, to explain something or other to someone or other.
	Now Before The Architect’s principals design the home plans, letting younger and stronger backs dig and lug and do the heavy lifting.
