JE&SONS focuses on providing affordable and accurate residential design blueprints and construction plans to home owners and contractors. We work with home owners and contractors whose budgets don't allow for a full scale architectural firm contract, but still need the expertise and experience from designers to create accurate, structurally sound and pleasing designs, while keeping their project within budget. With our state of the art 3D software, we can show you your project in 3D high definition views. We are able to take you inside and walk you through your future addition or kitchen remodel in a realistic 3D environment that will allow you to see if all of your ideas fit the way you envisioned them. The idea behind our 3D designs, is to give you, the client, all of the tools available to make the best decisions for your project by seeing it before committing to it. Once we have finalized your design and you have approved them, we create permit ready construction plans. Our plans include all the necessary elevation views, floor plans, and detail drawings needed to receive a building permit. We also offer city hall permit services. With this service you can sit back and let us deal with your local city or town hall. We deal directly with the city hall by acting as your agent. We fill out the necessary applications for your permit as well as deal with all the inspectors to assure that they have all the necessary information to issue your building permit.

"Jonathan is absolute pleasure to work with. This was my first time ever using these types of services and he is professional and personable. I told him that I would like to work for him one day as I have such a strong interest in construction. I highly recommend JE & Sons."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

On average, exterior brick siding costs around $18,000 for a 2,500 square foot home. Whereas vinyl costs around $11,000 and engineered wood costs around $4,000 for the same size home. You also need to account for the cost to paint the material afterward.
