CONSTRUCTION AdMINISTRATION

One of the biggest mistakes people make is to not have their architect be involved during construction. That's like going to court without your lawyer.  During construction, the architect acts as your expert eyes and ears and provides a check and balance to the actions of the contractor.  Some of these tasks we perform during construction include, construction site visits, product and shop drawing submittal review, supplemental instructions, responding to requests for information, reviewing and approving contractor pay applications, and many more important tasks that keep you protected.

One way that we are different than other architects, we also provide 3d scanning of construction sites at key points along the way.  This added service can give you a permanent record of where electrical, plumbing, and air conditioning utilities are behind the walls and ceilings so that in the future, if you need to make a repair or remodel, you have a better idea of what is there.  At left, check out a recent scan we did for a client to see how it works.
