Our Transparent, Proven Home Design Process


Blue Canyon Design Group guides Oregon homeowners through a relaxed, thoughtful design process. We begin with your property and priorities, then develop residential plans with local building department submittal requirements in mind.


Our Home Design Process

Step 1: Meet at the Property

We meet at your property to discuss your project and look at the features that may influence the design, including slope, views, setbacks, and utility access.

Step 2: Gather Your Ideas and Priorities

Bring photos, plans, or ideas you like. If you’re not sure where to begin, our homeowner questionnaire helps you think through your needs and the features that matter most.

Step 3: Develop a Preliminary Design

We use your ideas and property information to prepare a preliminary floor plan and site plan, along with exterior renderings or elevations.


Engineering and Technical Coordination

Step 4: Review and Refine

You review the preliminary design and share feedback. We work through adjustments to fine-tune the plans around your priorities.

Final Plans and Digital Delivery

Step 5: Complete Your Plans


Once the design is refined, we prepare the applicable plans and construction details for your project. Blue Canyon Design Group coordinates structural engineering when needed and helps you understand the permitting process.


Keep the existing technical deliverables information where accurate, including floor and electrical layouts, elevations, foundation and framing plans, cross-sections, and beam calculations.
