More guides to come! Time I finally pass along all this info I learned along my career. The prices are so low you just have to see what knowledge I have to share after completing 42 custom builds with full design plans, cabinetry details, tile details, lighting details. I’ve also worked on 6 semi-custom homes for a builder who then made a village of them so I guess that only counts as 6. Then I also complete plan sets for design firms for multi-family housing clubhouse interiors. I have completed 8 of those, fully specified and tagged plan sets, ranging from 20-56 pages. Other projects I work on are plan renovations, custom wall unit design, custom cabinetry design, but my greatest love is working on one of a kind custom home. Let’s get started together by sending me an email at manda@stylistmanda.com
