Before The Architect consults on wide-ranging matters of home plans – house plans themselves, drafting, custom home building. In fact, it's this role as home plans consultants that's got working with others longer term way back when.
Nowadays, our home plans consulting in house designs and house plans (and other building plans) stands on it own as a way to work with Before The Architect.

A favorite path of Before The Architect consulting on home plans and home designs is via offering a second opinion about some aspect of custom home building, home design, and drafting. Commissions on home plan consulting can be precursors to longer-term house plan design and drafting.

CASE STUDIES
Second Opinions On Home Plans. We get asked about all sorts of home plans. Mostly, what do we think about what we were sent. We call these second opinions - second opinions of home plans. These home plans second opinions to follow come from both house stock plan submission and from custom house design submission. As a general statement, we are summarily unimpressed by the quality of most others' work. Read on and get a grip on where we're coming from.

LOUISIANA SHOTGUN HOUSE REDESIGN The following is a verbatim copy of a home plan consulting commission we executed for a couple in Baton Rouge, LA. They bought a duplex Shotgun-style house, and wanted us to consult on design concepts that would unify the interior into a single dwelling unit, open it up inside, make the unusually limited space more useful, and rationalize travel patterns and lines of sight.

No matter how you write it down, one of our more challenging tasks in home plan jobs is stair design or staircase design (or stair cases design), i.e., how to build staircases. That home plan design job challenge is neon bright when it comes to how to build staircases that twist or spiral or otherwise run in a nonlinear path.
GRAPHICS GULCH IN HOME PLAN DESIGN During our work on home plan elevations, it became clear to us that a substantial part of our problem in illustrative presentation was that the elevations didn't account at all for the different pieces relative to each other, that is, their depth in perspective - the house being considerably forward of the breezeway and garage. That launched the old boy on a crusade into home plan design's Graphics Gulch.
