Design Services

We can provide a wide range of design services from straightforward customizations, such as reconfiguring your interior layout to more complex customizations such as combining and stacking LV units. See slideshow above for examples.

If you require custom design assistance, it will be charged as an additional expense. Pricing for customization will vary in accordance to the degree of customization you require. Fees are billed hourly (see below) or on a pre-bid basis.

Standard LV Homes are pre-designed; upon purchasing you will receive a full construction document set that can be used to attain a building permit. Additional design services may be required if there are special requirements from your local building authorities and/or finance organizations. Also, if you are building in an area that requires certification by an engineer, additional services and fees will apply. Below is a description of the engineering services available.

Custom LV Homes are LV homes that are customized to meet personal and site needs, such as reconfiguring walls, adding rooms, adding LV units, and changing unit sizes. This adds more time and monies to the overall process, as we will need to discuss, design, draw construction documents and shop drawings, engineer, and re-price your LV Series Home.

Preliminary Schematics (Potential LV Customers)
Rocio Romero will prepare schematics drawings to make sure that your LV Series Home meets your needs and your location. These drawings will help facilitate design fee estimates, preliminary loan and appraisal processes, and ballpark bid estimates from contactors. You will need to execute a preliminary schematics contract and pay a $1,000 engagement deposit for this service.

We can have a structural engineering firm who is licensed in all 50 states certify all your building plans including the foundation plan as long as our advertised structural requirements meet your local building requirements. Additionally, they can certify your home for energy codes throughout all 50 states.
