Reading the plans before the builder does
The advice that saves the expensive mistakesA wall is cheaper to move on paper. Before a house is built, we read the architect’s plans and mark what will not work once the house is lived in.
If you build or renovate a house without considering the ins and outs, you’re guaranteed to compromise. That’s why we like to be involved early on. We review plans and give feedback to ensure everything works well, saving you time, money and more money to spend on the things you really want and not fixing up the things that weren’t right.
Before construction starts, and ideally before the plans are final. Once concrete is poured the options narrow quickly.
Feedback on the architect’s plans, marked where the house will not work once it is lived in.
Within a full project the concept and documentation stages follow; documentation includes plans, elevations, schedules and specifications.
