How can we help you?
Concept and Pricing Service
We prioritize your financial standpoint and advocate for avoiding a significant investment until you have assessed the viability of your project by considering its size and expenses. This is why we offer the concept and pricing service. It’s good value, and a logical approach, for determining whether to move forward with a project. We work from scratch and from architectural plans. For a fraction of the typical cost, we provide general drawings that include:
Plans for preliminary approvals.
Renderings for marketing/ persuasive purposes.
Preliminary material lists.
Preliminary construction pricing (+\- 15%).
Sealed Permit Drawings
Joint and Peg’s offers permit ready construction documents for timber frame and other wood construction projects. This service includes residential, farm structure, and accessory dwelling unit design and construction documents with state engineer seal. These drawings typically include:
Foundation plan and detail (if suitable soil conditions).
Floor plan.
Architectural elevations.
Wall section.
Frame design and connection details.
Your local permit office may require the following which we do not provide:
Site Plans
Soil Testing
Shop Drawings
This standard includes a full set of fabrication drawings for your build. Depending upon your preference we can offer bent and wall frame drawings (elevations) with connection details, or we can provide you with individual single beam drawings. Sometimes a medley of the two is the best path forward. We make these determinations based upon a discussion with you.
