SPECIAL CONSULTING DESIGN SERVICES Mike Tecton Publishing has established a new exciting consultation service for Home Owners, Builders, Architects, Designers and Decorators. The design process for a new home can be very frustrating and full of uncertainties. At the end of this process, a person doesn't want to end up with a home design that is not pleasing to the eye, has a disfunctional floor plan or critical errors that lower the resale value. Mike Tecton can provide you with a one-on-one consultation during which he thoroughly examines the plan design and provides design criticism, layout improvements, cost saving improvements and exterior design improvements on every aspect of the design. Some designs submitted are extremely bad in certain areas, while others are well done. Yet all can be improved and costs are reduced through our suggestions. You will also be able to discuss any architectural design subject whatsoever related to the design you're about to undertake. Our examination includes: Location of design flaws and improvement of the design. Lower the cost of the home through suggesting valueable cost saving methods of building. Mike Tecton often does instant sketches when necessary and faxes them back to you immediately. It is important to remember we give a very critial, no holds bared, examination. We advise you to be sitting down when you call us since sometimes we come up with major surprises. Every year hundreds of Home Owners and Builders make use of this important design service. Mike Tecton has saved thousands of dollars through improving the designs. In one instant, the appraised value was increased $200,000 to $300,000 on an 8,000 square foot house after furnishing them with all four exteriors. Some people have gained useful space they did not have in the original plan at no extra cost. Others have had to halt the building process and rethink their entire design.
