Begin the Design Process with the Storybook  ‘Pre-decision Design Package’ which includes;

• A Site Inspection (anywhere within an operating Franchise Territory). In other areas, we collect the necessary information..
• Draft Plans – Tailored to your needs, taking into consideration your budget, wish-list  & discussions we have had with you.
• Numerous 3D Perspectives of the draft design in context to your site. Showing landscaping, indoor / outdoor etc..
• Site Plan – showing the home on the land, with discussions on access & indoor outdoor living as per our discussions.
• A Detailed Storybook Quotation – Fixed Price ‘Material & Services Package’ for your design – with the Initial fee coming off the price.
• A breakdown of the Overall Project Budget – which takes into account labour & materials to completion. (varying from job to job).
• From only $1500 (heavily subsidised initial fee). Which actually comes off the Storybook Price – so if you proceed It’s Free!

The Storybook ‘Pre-Decision Design Package’, gives our clients the necessary information needed to make an informed decision, without the burden of expensive professional service fees. To do this, Storybook Cottages heavily subsidises this Initial Design Stage, only charging a modest non-refundable deposit from only $1,500, which is later credited back to the client, if they decide to proceed. If at the end of this stage a client does not proceed, they remain commitment free, but unable to use the copyright information supplied. This gives people a wonderful opportunity to receive a Storybook Cottage Design (individually tailored to their needs), giving consideration to the budget, site constraints, owner participation, and so on, before making a decision. Overall project budgets vary from job to job & can include a multitude of inclusions depending on the clients requirements. Storybook will discuss the ‘Standard Inclusions’ with you which can be varied on a job by job basis. Below is a typical example of a Storybook Pre-Decision Design Package.
