First is the “Initial Programming Process,” which are discussions with your Pan Abode dealer or design team to determine your general aesthetics, functional needs, and projected budget.

Second is Concept Design. During this phase a standard plan is either selected from our idea book, or you may interact and correspond with someone from our design team to gather your ideas and establish your requirements for a custom design. In many cases we create sketches and make design proposals for your review and to see we've interpreted your desires correctly.

Third is Preliminary Design. During the design development phase, Pan Abode’s design team will provide you with computer-generated, drafted-to-scale drawings that will illustrate the project as it will appear when it’s constructed, specifically defining the floor plans and exterior elevations.
