How it works

Our process, step by step

01

Programming

We document how you want to live in the home and what the budget will actually support.

02

Schematic design

Floor plans and elevations, revised with cost feedback at each round.

03

Construction documents

Full drawing set with structural engineering and energy compliance calculations.

04

Permit submission

We submit to the county or city and manage plan review comments through approval.

Planning details

Typical timeline

A complete permit-ready set typically takes 8 to 16 weeks depending on home size and how quickly design decisions are made. County plan review adds a further 3 to 8 weeks.

Local details

Local notes

Permitting for home design & plans projects in Garden City runs through Ada County. We build permit timelines into your schedule from day one.

Home Design & Plans cost in Garden City

Planning ranges for Garden City match the broader Treasure Valley market. As of 2026, a permit-ready custom home drawing set with structural engineering and energy compliance runs roughly $9,000 to $35,000 in the Treasure Valley, or about 5 to 12 percent of construction cost. Simple single-level homes sit near the bottom of that range and large or complex designs above it.

These are planning ranges, not bids. Home size, structural complexity, and the number of design revision rounds drive the final figure, which we fix in writing after a programming session.

Home Design & Plans across Garden City

We build throughout Garden City, tailoring the site plan, foundation design, and elevations to the specific parcel rather than dropping a plan onto it.

As a local team, we plan home design & plans that fits the neighborhood and holds its value.

New construction permits and plan review in Ada County

New home construction in Garden City requires a building permit, plan review, and impact fees through Ada County. Residential plan review commonly runs 3 to 6 weeks, and parcels outside municipal service need septic approval through Central District Health and a well permit through the Idaho Department of Water Resources. We build those timelines into your schedule from day one and handle submissions, fees, and inspections as part of the contract.

Our Garden City designs account for the local Treasure Valley climate, including frost depth, snow load, insulation levels, and durable exterior materials.
