New Home Designs in Monmouth County, NJ

Computer Aided Design for an Exterior Remodel (2)The Middletown, New Jersey homeowners wanted to knock down the existing home while leaving the foundation, outbuilding, and deck. In addition, approximately 3′ of block was added for added foundation height. The new structure was for a a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home. They hired Design Build Planners to create a the new home design.

Potential clients often ask, “How much per square foot?” These project designs prove that a more more value question would be, “What is included for the investment?” The three new home designs below have the exact same floor plan and square footage of living space (1,550 SF). However, based on inclusions and details the investment amounts among the three vary by 33% or approximately $90,000.

The project is scheduled to be built by Pro Skill Construction.

First, we will begin with some photos of the existing space.
