Design

Welcome to our design showcase, where innovation meets construction excellence. At P. J. Hussey Construction, design is not just a phase – it’s a cornerstone of our process.

Explore below to learn more about how we do design, and check out samples of some of our favorite projects in the design gallery.

Sample Design Sheet

Digital Design Process

Initial Free Rendering

From the information gathered at the initial appointment, our designer will craft a complimentary 3D rendering sample for all kitchen, bathroom and feature wall projects. This provides you with a visual glimpse of the transformation ahead.

Perfecting the Design

Should you decide to proceed, our commitment deepens. We offer an enhanced rendering, incorporating your preferences and product selections. We want to ensure your vision comes to life, and will refine this design with updates until perfection. Once finalized, a comprehensive design sheet becomes a tangible guide on-site during construction.

Diving Deep

For projects requiring engineering and permitting, such as additions, we use Matterport virtual scans to digitally capture your space. This provides a detailed reference that supports design, engineering, and project coordination from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Feasibility Study for a Remodeling Project?2026-05-22T22:15:27+00:00

A remodeling feasibility study helps determine whether a project can move forward before investing in full design and construction.

The goal is to answer important questions such as whether the city can approve the project, if HOA requirements apply, and whether the design fits your property and goals. The process may include site plans, measurements, as-built plans, floor plans, and elevations to better understand the project before moving into permitting and construction.

How Do I Know If My Project Will Require City Permits?2026-05-22T22:12:29+00:00

Whether your project requires permits depends on the scope of work and local requirements. Cosmetic updates may not require approval, but additions, ADUs, garage conversions, structural changes, and major electrical or plumbing work often do.

Requirements can vary by city and HOA, which is why reviewing them early helps prevent delays. As part of the planning process, we help evaluate permit requirements and coordinate plans, engineering, and approvals when needed.

Do you handle engineering plans and permits?2026-05-22T21:57:53+00:00

Yes. We coordinate engineering services and assist with the permitting process from start to finish. Depending on your project, this may include structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, civil engineering, and coordination with municipalities, HOAs, and consultants as needed.

Can You Create Plans for Additions, Casitas, RV Garages, Garage Conversions, and ADUs?2026-05-22T21:49:20+00:00

Yes. We can create plans for a wide variety of residential projects including home additions, casitas, RV garages, garage conversions, ADUs, and other custom spaces. Every project begins with evaluating feasibility, project goals, and local requirements.

How Accurate Are 3D Renderings Compared to the Finished Project?2026-05-22T21:45:17+00:00

3D renderings are designed to closely represent the overall design intent, layout, materials, and appearance of your project. While minor differences can occur due to product availability, lighting conditions, or field adjustments, renderings provide a highly realistic preview of the final result.

Can you help me choose materials, colors, and finishes for my project?2026-05-22T21:40:41+00:00

Yes. Our material selection services help clients make confident design choices by coordinating showroom visits, exploring materials in person, and selecting finishes that fit both the style and budget of the project. Interior design services and material selection assistance are also available.

What Is Included in Your Design Process?2026-05-22T21:32:29+00:00

Our design process can include site plans, detailed scans of existing spaces, as-built plans, renovation layouts, exterior elevations, design refinement, product selections, engineering coordination, and preparation of build-ready plans for permitting and construction. The exact process varies based on your project scope.

Do I Need Design Plans Before Starting a Home Remodel?2026-05-22T19:27:02+00:00

For many remodeling projects, especially additions, structural changes, ADUs, and projects requiring permits, design plans are an important first step. Plans help confirm project feasibility, identify potential challenges early, and create a clear roadmap before construction begins.

What is the difference between a 3D rendering and construction plans?2026-05-22T19:27:29+00:00

A 3D rendering is a visual representation of your project that helps you understand the look, layout, and overall design before construction begins. Construction plans are detailed technical drawings used for engineering, permitting, and building. Plans include measurements, elevations, structural details, and specifications required to complete the project.

What is the timeline for the interior design process, and how many revisions can I expect?2024-12-09T22:04:17+00:00

From the information gathered at the initial appointment, our designer will craft a complimentary 3D rendering sample for all kitchen, bathroom and feature wall projects. From there, the timeline varies for finalized plans and designs depending on the scope of the project and the complexity of the design. We remain flexible to accommodate all reasonable revisions until you’re satisfied with the design.

What is interior design, and how does it differ from digital design?2024-12-09T22:01:56+00:00

Interior design focuses on enhancing the aesthetics, ambiance, and overall look of a space, while digital design prioritizes practicality and usability. However, the two disciplines often intersect to create well-rounded designs.

What do your design services cost?2025-05-06T18:35:47+00:00
Our design services are billed at $150 per hour. All projects will be assessed a minimum of a $450 design fee which covers the first 3 hours of time. All additional hours will be billed in 15 min increments.
For interior design services, P. J. Hussey Construction is contracted with Lauren Nicole Design. This is an additional design service takes customer support to the next level. These services are structured as a comprehensive package, beginning with a base rate of only $600.
