Why the floor plans are important ?

Floor plans are an important and critical part of any basement finishing construction project. We consider them essential to the success of the job and your ultimate satisfaction. A floor plan is our "road map"... and it's your assurance of getting just the finished basement you've always wanted. At ACC BASEMENTS, we use sophisticated computer software designed specifically for the home construction industry.

The end result...spectacular computer renderings of your project, precise specifications and best of all... happy clients! As you might expect, a professional floor plan requires many hours of preparation and computer input before your design is ready for presentation. Some of builders offer what is termed " free design." This can often be an outline/drawing of your project using either a basic home computer design program or a traditional pencil/graph paper illustration. Neither of which provide the exacting details most homeowners need to have before making such a sizeable investment in their home. Worse yet, bargain basement designs fail to carefully detail the many aspects of construction. End result? Ultimately much higher cost than originally projected in the initial estimate. Unfortunately this is a costly lesson the homeowner only learns after the project gets underway. We do charge for floor plans ...and for good reason. Our fee reflects the many hours (not minutes) spent in preparing a basement floor plan that illustrates the many details of your basement's construction.

 We visit your home, learn of your specific needs, take exacting measurements, and eventually consult with other subcontractors about a multitude of construction details. All of which requires a considerable amount of time. Our detailed floor plans may include anything from room design to the type of custom wood trim or floor coverings you wish to install. During our first no obligation in-home visit, you'll have opportunity to review our portfolio of previous projects and see the many floor plans and projects we've done for other Pennsylvania homeowners. If you would like for us to provide you with computer drawings of your basement, we charge a fee of $500 to cover the time involved in producing the drawings, that fee is refundable if we are hired to finish your basement.
For homeowners electing to choose us as their Builder of Choice, our floor plan /design fee is always credited back to your project's cost. Once your custom floor plans are paid for in full, however, they are yours to do with as you choose. You are under absolutely no obligation to hire us as your contractor. We are working with three different designers and one of them is always available to answer your needs.
