This is a sample of what measurements to send. Perimeter walls, post, drains, furnace and stairway locations and windows along with ceiling height. It does not have to be neat in any way. Anything like the sketch below will work for me. Remember, I have seen over two thousand plus basements, do I don't need
to be standing in yours to design it. Just good measurements and photos.

(I know this sketch is not pretty but I can understand almost anything you send me.)

Please measure in feet and inches rounding up or down, no parts of an inch. Also indicate ceiling height and note if you measured to the center of the post or to each side also indicating the width of the post.

Show all perimeter wall sizes, beam and stairway locations. Then I draw up a preliminary footprint like this one below to verify dimensions and what the CAD comes up with for the total square footage. And don't worry, we may go back and forth by email a few times to get it right.

This finished plan at right was designed in this way; just from sending a sketch to me and once again, there's no need for me to stand in your basement to do this since I've been in thousands of basements over the years so it's easy to comprehend what I see in your photos.

It's that simple and it's a fun process. You will also receive a questionnaire I need filled out and sent back to me so I know how you want to use the space. And with this information, I will determine an exact one time design fee along with a design fee agreement that will be sent to you. I then send you a PayPal request for the fee. I then work with you until satisfied. It's really a fun process seeing your plan come to life on PDF images progressively. You do end up with a large printable 24x36 inch scaled plan to pull permits with and to build from. Feel free to ask for references, I have allot of out of state clients as I do local customers all satisfied. Thanks and I look forward to working with you. Ask for references and view customer testimonials.
