Let's plan!

The planning phase of your home or business building is really the most important, as it will save you a lot of time, money, and energy if done thoroughly. But the most important thing to consider is to design your new building for the comfort and safety of people.

First off, book a consultation with us, but when you're waiting, and if you haven't already talked with an architect, please consider these essential questions to ask yourself.

"Map it out"

An effective way to plan your home or commercial building is through an activity called “map it out”. If you're struggling with this activity--don't worry! We're the professionals that will guide you through this process or will even do it for you if you so wish. But in the beginning of the "map it out" activity, you will:

• Write down the purpose and your specific needs of the new building.
• Write down every room you want in your new home or commercial building on separate pieces of paper.
• Write down the different activities that you want to do in your home or business.

Match the use and goal of each room and imagine where the activity can take place. Once you have compiled your list, you can narrow down the number of rooms you need in your home or business. When you are selecting the size of your home or business, you can visualize the space by drawing an outline with chalk. Once you have mapped out your outline, walk through the space imagining how you would divide the space and what rooms you should include. Outline where you would place your rooms, and how you would divide the space. Also look into the furniture size and appliances you will have in your room. Remember to accommodate the size to your unique needs and budget and adjust as you go!

This activity will give you perspective and show you the potential of your space. We're a builder who will be happy to work with you in customizing a plan that fits your specific vision. When we're helping you design your new building, we'll also keep in mind the weather conditions of our region --the damaging winds, hurricanes, outside temperatures, small scale tornadoes, and flooding. Our region is also swampland, so we take into regard all the dynamics involved. It's a lot to think about, and that's why we're here to guide you in every step of your construction project.

For example, when designing your roof, you need to consider its shape and purpose. In Friendswood, TX your roof design needs to allow water to easily fall off without collecting in one area. A slightly angled roof reduces the height of your home and saves money on material costs. An angled roof prevents any water buildup and protects your homes and belongings. A traditional roof is ideal because these roofs allow water to easily flow off them as they are shaped like prisms. We're experts in these issues and can help guide you in the planning of your home or business building.

Once we have completed your floor plan, we can create a timeline for your build. We need to decide on the materials that we will use and where we will acquire them. We will pick materials for the following:

• wood of your choice or metal for the frame of the building
• Plywood
• insulation in the form of Styrofoam and building wrap
• Windows
• a door and hardware
• Roofing of your choice
• Flooring

These basic materials allow you to build the shell of your building. At Friendswood Construction Services, we are experts at picking out materials that fits your budget. Depending on the scale of your build, your materials may require a few weeks to be delivered, so take this into account when you are creating your building schedule. When we are ordering the material, it's wise to order a few extra items of each material to account for breakage or losses.

Room Plans

When you are planning your home or business building, it is helpful to understand the process you will take for each space. If you create a plan for each room, you will be able to work with a schedule that allows you to effectively manage your time. Our building plan should follow a weekly schedule with set targets for your build. Before the building process, we apply for the building permits that allow you to add an extension to your existing building or start a completely new project. This is dependent on the local laws in your areas and building codes.

For insurance purposes, we also apply for the necessary paperwork and follow their building guidelines before we begin. You don't want insurance to refuse to cover a claim when you're in Friendswood, Texas. We experience too much flooding and natural disasters to not make sure our buildings are up to code for insurance.

How to plan your build

The timeline of your build can vary for each project--it is based on how big your building will be. But we do set weekly targets to get your building up quickly and with a quality build.

Stage 1: After the permits and legal documentation have been obtained, and the insurance codes have been followed, we finally have the construction documents in our hands. We ensure that all your materials have been delivered and are in the correct quantity. Once we have checked our materials, we clean the building site and the area you want to construct. We level out the construction site and tape it off, so people don't get hurt at our construction site.

Stage 2: The actual construction project can begin. We plan to lay the foundation followed by erecting the building's frame, roof, and side paneling. We inspect the framing and ensure it is up to code and safe. Furthermore, we will remember to protect the frame from bad weather with the protective covering.

Stage 3: We then hire subcontractors to install the plumbing, electrical lines, insulation, drywall, windows, skylight, and doors. This stage completes the shell of the building as it begins to take form.

Stage 4: We plan to paint your building's interior and exterior. After our trusted subcontractors are done painting, we install the light fixtures and electrical plugs.

Stage 5: Our outside contractors will then install your flooring, tiling, built-in carpentry, and bathroom features.

Stage 6: Our professionals will then complete your building's exterior features such as lighting, cladding, and trims.

Let's Decorate

House Design Styles: If you're building a new home, you can learn about the different design styles here. There are just too many options that we have to put the design styles of homes on a separate webpage! But besides looking at the different design styles of homes, we also have to consider color.

Color Palette: The color palette of the interior of your building will also dictate the colors of your exterior. The color palette we choose will affect the mood and the purpose of the building. For example, if you want a calm mood in your room, we will choose a monochromatic color scheme. Also, a set of bright primary colors would do well for a childcare facility to show the energy and the youthfulness of the children. The color principles also apply to the interior of your home. When we are deciding on a design style for the interior of your home, the colors you choose alter the space. That's why we ensure that the right professionals will give you the right color palette for your building inside and out.
