SERVICES
At Black Luxury Homes, LLC, we view Pool and Landscape design as a process which starts with the collection of information from our client with regards to their vision, budget and timeframe for the project as well as the physical site characteristics. After our initial review of the available information, our in-house designer will develop a design which integrates all aspects of the project including consideration of HOA requirements, existing and new structures, swimming pools, plantings, hardscapes, water usage, drainage and much more. BLH designer will prepare a complete set of construction drawings utilizing CAD technology for the clients review and approval. An approved drawing allows us to complete equipment and material selections and prepare a final cost estimate for the project.
Once our design process is complete, Black Luxury Homes LLC will determine what, if any of the elements of the project requires permitting and /or HOA review. The BLH designer assigned to the project will prepare the required submittals including plans, specifications, engineering, material samples and applications.
Municipal Permits: Our background has given us an understanding to the permitting process like no other. City and County codes often change, because we do our drafting in-house and we hand deliver our permits, we are able to make changes quickly and efficiently to accommodate new codes and enforcements.- HOA Application and Submittal: Most sites that are located within a subdivision are subject to Home Owners Association (HOA) design guidelines and other design parameters. To satisfy the requirements of these guidelines, many HOA’s require a submittal of the proposed project design elements for approval. These submittal requirements vary greatly from location and can be quite complex. Black Land can assist clients in the preparation and submission of the required information and materials.
- Site and Structure Permits: Permit site plans are drawn to scale using CAD, again following the municipal guidelines for swimming pool construction. Every city/county has their own process, rules, codes, documents and requirements for their site plans and applications. While our engineers have standard plans on file with most cities, some will require Grading and Drainage Plans, Site Specific Engineering or additional Structural Details. Our engineers are prepared to accommodate all permit requirements for your pool.
