SOLD – est. 6-8 months before completion date – links have been deactivated.
Two days ago I visited the large $ 2.9M luxury home currently under construction in River Oaks by Rockfort Builders, LLC in order to take my measurements so I could draw the SMARTePLAN floor plan. The drawing is complete and has been sent to the Builder for proofing.
The first step is do the RoughOut … which is where I put all the walls together and make sure they fit the dimensions I recorded onsite. Everything HAS TO fit … or all the walls won’t fit together … and I need to backtrack and find my mistake.
So at this stage I’m really just interested in how the walls fit together and additional details will be added later.
The red lines represent my laser shoots, so not only can I report the measurements for each room, I can show the builder “how” I measured which is equally important.
Most real estate agents cannot tell you “how” they measured a room five minutes after they walk out of it — but we can — five minutes from now or five years from now as this document becomes part of the permanent file.
Once the RoughOut is complete for the property and is sent to the real estate agent and builder — I start cleaning up the drawing and putting in all the details and depicting in the drawing the text descriptions from the Amenities Text we generated in Part I

Usually upwards of 90% of the details in the Amenities Text is depicted in a SMARTePLAN, by patented pictographic symbol or captioning or both; and the bird’s-eye perspective allows Buyers a much needed overview of the whole property.
So in 2 days we are proofing the materials and getting ready to upload them onto our MLS, providing meaningful marketing materials to a global pool of potential buyers.
Stay tuned for the next posts in this series — the Italian white marble — destined to be installed in the 3 Kitchens and all the Baths has not yet arrived onsite — but I want to show you photos I took of some more of the details in the rooms.
