Construction Material Recycling
During the construction phase of your new home or remodeling project, it is a good idea to have 2 large trash bins erected. One of the bins will be for trash items, while the other is for materials that can be re-used. Before the project begins, discuss with your builder that you intend on re-using or recycling materials to either go back into your project, to Habitat for Humanity or other job sites. Recycling materials helps keep the cost of your building materials down, provides usable materials for others and reduces the cost of waste removal and dumping fees. Hiring a builder that believes in this philosophy will help your cause tremendously.

CDS believes in a team approach to home design, be it a remodel or new construction. Working directly with the homeowner and when possible the builder, we assist by developing a design that meets your needs, lifestyle, budget and your shade of green. With a completed design, we involve structural engineers, authorities responsible for permits, and other professionals as necessary. We can even provide qualified, proven referrals for your specific construction needs. Contact Us.

HOW WE WORK

Designing a custom home involves a site visit and analysis, and meetings with the owner to collaborate on a design that suits their needs and lifestyle, as well as their building site and budget. Similarly, developing a design for an addition to an existing home, or major or minor remodeling project, involves a tour of the home, taking measurements, and working closely with the client to determine their needs. It is an iterative process that generates an initial design which with input evolves to an ideal design for a given circumstance. After a design is completed, construction documents including a site plan, permitting requirements, and building plan are prepared. The completed plans will be ready and in compliance with IRC (International Residential Code) and all requirements for bidding and construction. We can stamp the plans when the city requires a seal, assist with all permitting requirements, and help guide a project so it moves forward successfully and efficiently.
