About
I Information.
Benjamin Fagan Designs is a South Lake Tahoe residential design firm established in 1975.
Ben Fagan Designs strives to complete projects in an accurate and timely manner. Our small team is dedicated to each client and many remain friends long after their home is complete. As we say here at the office: “We're with you from the cocktail napkin to the cocktail party!” Check out our portfolio for ideas!
1 Design
Work with Ben on your dream home! Provide us with your wish list, and Ben will sketch ideas that we can send you to review. Stop by our office and we can come up with ideas in real-time, or if you're traveling, we're happy to scan and email concepts as they develop.
2 Draft
As the design develops, we'll begin drafting the existing floor plans and elevations on the computer. We generally work in AutoCAD, but can provide 3D models upon request. Eventually, we'll complete an entire submittal package including existing and proposed site plans, floor plans, elevations, electrical layout, and structural drawings.
3 Structure
We provide a basic structural layout that then goes to a structural engineer for review and calculations. When that's finished, we revise our drawings as necessary and prepare for stamping and submittal.
4 Submit
Whether in California or Nevada, within TRPA bounds or beyond, we do it all! We are very familiar with the submittal process for all areas around Lake Tahoe. Generally, we submit projects to all relevant agencies on behalf of the client, but if you prefer to submit yourself, we're happy to provide you with everything you need for each jurisdiction.
