In your process, it is very important to ensure awareness of municipal or regional regulations that could affect the feasibility or influence the final outcome and design of your project.

Validation steps with the relevant authorities will allow us to provide you with a plan quickly.

Failure to consult beforehand may result in additional costs for plan revisions, wood component adjustments, and significant delays in project completion.

For a conventional foundation, what use is it intended for?

Is the slope significant enough to require a frost wall? In this case, for basement rooms, is the use of a patio door (bedroom) or a garage door required?

Will you install a washer, laundry tub, or toilets?
In the basement? On the ground floor? On the mezzanine?

For small cottages, have you considered using a space-saving solution like a stacked washer-dryer or an all-in-one appliance? Evaluate this need, as each choice has its advantages and disadvantages.

What size of water heater is required? For small cottages, could a 20-gallon water heater meet the need and save space?

Do you plan to use a dishwasher?

Is the required sink single or double?

Where will the other doors be located?

What is the size of the patio?

Addition of a sunroom to keep out flies?

In the front gable, what type of windows are desired (see our models)?

For the rear wall of the mezzanine, if available, what type of windows do you want?

To maximize natural light in the kitchen, it is possible to install a low-height horizontal window that is wider. The suggested cabinets would then be 22" instead of 30". The advantage is abundant natural light on the countertop surfaces.

Will the staircase leading to the mezzanine be open log-style or wood?
Or will it be closed in a conventional style with storage underneath the stairs?

We suggest an enameled metal roof, although the covering can also be shingles.

Do you plan to install a wood stove or a fireplace? Or gas appliances?

Depending on the area, an air exchanger may be required.
