How long does the process take to design a new home?

Designing a new home involves several steps from the initial consultation and concept sketches to detailed floor plans, revisions, and final documentation. The timeframe depends on the scope and complexity of the project. For a full custom home, the design process typically takes around 4 to 6 months, with timing influenced by site conditions, design complexity, and approval requirements.
