Design Waivers

Scope of Work Waiver: The design presented is conceptual in nature and does not define the final scope of work. Refer to your approved invoice on Buildertrend for a complete and accurate description of your included scope of work. Features or elements depicted in the design that are not specifically included in the approved invoice are not part of the contracted scope, regardless of their appearance in renderings or drawings.
Color and Selection Waiver: The drawings' materials and colors are for conceptual purposes only and may not represent your final selections. The Material and Color Selection Finalization Form takes priority over any shown materials or colors. Please note that actual colors may vary from what is seen on monitors or when printed.
Landscape Waiver: Any landscaping depicted on renderings is for conceptual purposes only. Landscape plan will verify specific plant species and sizes.
Survey Waiver: The design presented is based on the survey information provided by the client. Tree locations, topography, and other site-specific details are subject to verification and may require adjustments to ensure accuracy in implementation. Any discrepancies in the survey data could impact final design elements.
Special Features Waiver: Depictions of special features such as water and fire features are for conceptual purposes only. The velocity and volume of the water or fire will vary.
Engineering Waiver: Structural elements depicted on renderings are for conceptual purposes only. Engineering takes precedence over the size, location, and products used for structural masonry, wood framing, roofing, floors, etc.

Maximize River Views: Ensure all design elements preserve and frame key sightlines from the upper terrace and interior sitting areas.
Elevate the Pool Experience: Refinish the existing pool and introduce a lower-level spa to create a layered water experience.

Design a Compact, Elegant Outdoor Kitchen: Include a grill, sink, fridge, and storage—strategically placed near the spa and fire feature for easy entertaining.
Incorporate a Fire Feature with Built-In Seating: Add a linear gas fire pit with integrated bench walls to anchor the lower deck as a cozy social zone.
Expand the Lanai for Year-Round Comfort: Develop a covered space where the family can comfortably dine and cook outdoors throughout the week.
