At Diggs Consulting, we specialize in customizing home designs to align with your unique vision and needs. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refine an existing plan, our expert designers provide tailored solutions. We can modify online plans, adjust layouts by expanding exteriors, reconfiguring interiors, or blending multiple designs to achieve the perfect combination of form and function.
Our design process is flexible, offering in-person meetings and efficient Zoom consultations, making it easy to collaborate whether you’re local or out of state. With deep expertise in Pacific Northwest home design, we ensure every plan meets Washington State’s building codes, energy standards, and structural requirements. This regional knowledge helps avoid costly errors, guaranteeing a seamless transition from design to construction while delivering a home that is both practical and visually stunning.
Structural Engineering Coordination
Structural integrity is paramount in home design. Our consultation services include coordination with skilled structural engineers to ensure your home withstands the test of time against local weather conditions, seismic activity, and other structural challenges. Think of structural engineering as the vertical aspect of homebuilding, focusing on the house itself. This collaboration between designers and engineers smooths potential future construction issues, integrating value engineering to optimize both cost and quality.
Civil Engineering Consultation
Consider civil engineering the horizontal counterpart, focusing on the land your home will stand on. Most building jurisdictions require a site plan, but with increasing environmental regulations like stormwater control, civil engineering becomes even more vital. We coordinate with seasoned civil engineers who are experts in creating efficient, compliant site plans. These plans are essential not only for securing permits but also for ensuring your development aligns with environmental standards and local regulations.
Our Commitment
As consultants, our role is to provide expert advice and coordination, guiding you through the design and permitting process. We do not perform physical work; instead, we focus on offering logical, sound advice and navigating the complex terrain of homebuilding. Our goal is to ensure your building experience is seamless, meeting all regulatory requirements while achieving the aesthetic and functional qualities you desire in your future home.
Architectural Design & Plan Optimization
Finding the right home designer is critical to your project’s success. With years of experience and connections to dozens of designers, we know who will be the best fit for your vision, budget, and project scope. Some designers charge more, some less—but the cheapest isn’t always the best. Our expertise ensures you work with the right professional for quality, efficiency, and long-term value.
If you’ve found a plan online, chances are it’s not buildable as-is—many generic designs lack compliance with local codes, structural requirements, and energy standards. We help identify potential issues, update the plans, and align them with Washington State’s most recent building regulations.
✔ Modify existing designs to fit your needs.
✔ Ensure compliance with local building codes.
✔ Avoid costly mistakes with expert guidance.
Whether you’re starting fresh or refining a plan you love, we make sure your design is build-ready—so you can move forward with confidence and build the home of your dreams.
