"If I could give more than a 5-star review, I would. The Next Construction team were great at communication and their efficiency. Not only do they work quickly, but they also have quality work. They framed our house and a large custom deck and I received progress pictures while they were working. After they finished their work, I hired a team to add insulation and sheet rock. The owner of this company specifically asked who did the framing, because they could tell it was meticulously built. I plan to use Next Construction for future projects as well!"
"First of all these men are extremely friendly! One of the most efficient crews I’ve ever witnessed! I’ll be hiring these guys for every job for here on out. All around good people and excellent work! I’m so happy with the work they’ve done. A true home improvement!"
"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.
Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect.
In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit.
