To ensure that your property adheres to the rules and guidelines of the Somerton Estate and matches the established homes, here are some steps you can take:

1. Obtain the rules and guidelines: These documents will provide specific instructions on architectural styles, materials, colors, and other design considerations.

2. Review the guidelines: Carefully study the guidelines to understand the requirements and restrictions for your property. Pay attention to details such as building height, setback distances, roof styles, exterior finishes, and landscaping requirements.

3. Hire an architect: Engage the services of an architect with experience working within the Somerton Estate or similar communities. They will help you design a property that aligns with the established homes and complies with the guidelines. The architect can create detailed plans and renderings to submit for approval.

4. Develop architectural plans: Work closely with your architect to develop comprehensive architectural plans that incorporate the desired features and comply with the estate's guidelines. The plans should include accurate measurements, floor layouts, elevations, and exterior renderings.

5. Submit plans for approval: Submit your architectural plans to the Somerton Estate's governing body or designated architectural review board. Include any necessary application forms and fees as per their requirements. The review process may involve a thorough evaluation of the plans to ensure they meet the guidelines and maintain the aesthetic harmony of the estate.

6. Make revisions if necessary: If your plans are not approved initially, work with the governing body or architectural review board to understand the reasons for rejection. Make the necessary revisions to address any concerns or non-compliance issues. Your architect can assist in modifying the plans accordingly.

7. Obtain approval and permits: Once your plans align with the Somerton Estate guidelines and are approved, you will likely receive a formal approval letter or permit. Ensure that you have all the necessary documentation and permission before commencing construction.
