DMH DESIGN project proposals for Home Plans and Designs and are broken down into segments, or “phases.” Each phase represents a given portion of the total Home Designs fee, depending on home designs and the nature of the site development and permitting requirements. Each project for home building plans may include some or all of the following phases:
