Greetings!
In my last newsletter I mentioned the idea of considering a new design firm for your upcoming projects. If all your projects are smooth sailing, then you're set, but if you are having problems with your architectural plans, definitely consider calling us. If you're having trouble with your builder, sometimes it's not the builder, but the plans he's trying to work from. Key word: trying. Without concise construction documents, even the best of builders are left to guess what the plans are trying to say, which will result in problems! One builder taught me the "poly exclusion of matter", which is just a fancy way of saying you can't put one thing where something else belongs, like an a/c duct going THROUGH a support beam! Yet he often gets drawings that tell him to do such things! Errors, when it comes to the construction of your building - well, that's not something to mess around with! Your contractor is not going to tell you how bad your drawings are, because when the architect makes mistakes, the builder makes more money! What will tell you your drawings are good/bad is how smooth the job goes throughout the construction phases. The amount and severity of change orders. If they're able to get the job done on time and within budget. If you've been convinced this can't be done, call us. We've got plenty of references and referrals that will confirm to you that this IS possible! |
