faQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)

1.  Can I build a Q anywhere?

No, you can not build a Q anywhere.  Planning codes, building codes, CCR’s (Codes, Covenants, and Restrictions) all play a part in determining whether or not you can build a Q in the location your thinking about.

2.  OK, I like the design of the Q, now what?

The first step is to contact Design Horizons to complete a design and specification worksheet and then price your exact Q model.  The next step is to order your plans and specifications ($2,500 non-refundable).  You decide when to initiate the final order.  Once initiated, your Q Cabin Kit will be delivered in 30 days ready to be assembled.  The Q Storage Trailer that your components are delivered in is yours for 30 days while you construct your Q Cabin.

3.  Do I need a contractor?

While all the systems of the Q Cabins are very straight forward, Design Horizons recommends using a licensed contractor for most installations.  However, if you have skills in construction, these kits are intended for quick straight forward installations utilizing carpentry and mechanical skills for a crew of about 3 persons.

4.  What states do you sell Q Cabin in?

Q Cabins can be delivered to any state.  If you are outside of California, Design Horizons will help locate and qualify a Q installer for your area.  If you are thinking of a Q Cabin in California, Design Horizons would be happy to provide a quote for installation.

5.  What is the warranty with a Q Cabin?

Installations are covered by your contractor, but all the main components of your Q Cabin come with a 5 year minimum warranty against defect.  The roof components come with a 25 year warranty.  Many others come with lifetime warranties.  A complete warranty binder keeps them organized and accessible.

6.  I like the Q but I have something else in mind, Do you do custom work?

Yes!  Design Horizons has a passion for design and construction.  California projects only, no matter how small, as long as design is the emphasis, and quality construction is your desire.
