overlook

Well, I got no replies from anyone in northeast Ohio. However, I did receive several from others around the country. So I am expanding my search to anyone who is interested in the work with experience matching my description of a 5,000 one story house with a walk out basement. For those who already replied, I have your information and will start vetting after this poll. Hope to hear from you. Thank you for your consideration.

Is there anyone in northeast Ohio offering services using CA? I have a design I did myself but would like to turn it over to a professional. The project is a one story 5,000 sq. ft. home with a walkout basement. My immediate goal is completing the design to a level that I can get a decent estimate of the cost to build. Hope to hear from someone.

One more thing that would help when you contact me. I need expertise in a one story home with a walk-out basement. The basement is important as we have a 40" frost line. Please send emails of interest for me to consider. - mstrebler@roadrunner.com

Thanks for the help from all. I received several offers to help and will start with those.

I want to build a new custom home. I’ve been involved with construction and architects before. So I have no intention of doing my own design or drawings. However, I have some ideas of what I want so I bought Chief Architect Suite (CAS) to get my ideas on paper. I am truly impressed with how powerful the software is. I get on my son about how much time he spends on video games. I now have no room to talk as CAS just sucked my time until I had something I liked. But I want to go no further. I want to find someone that can take my plans and turn them into something professional. I have read the threads of architects vs. home designers and don’t really care about differentiating between the two disciplines. I want to find someone that can take my plan to the next level. Since I have worked with CAS, I started looking for a professional in northeast Ohio who works with the software but to no avail. My question is, how do I locate someone who can pick up my plan and go forward? Can it be done remotely or do I need to find someone local? Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
