Mat 540 Final Project

If you don’t trust builders, or are busy or inexperienced, an architect can help you keep an informed eye on the builders and make sure the project stays on tract

How materials are used and matched resulted in products with tactile quality and visual impact. Lab Design set out to provide furniture and accessories that have a life of their own, and that is exactly what they achieved.

A home may very well be the biggest investment that you'll ever own, so you want peace of mind that you're not sinking your money into a structurally poor home. Our staff is continuously educated and has a strong background in construction, so we know what to look for when we examine a home. If we find any problems or issues, we will recommend steps you can take to remedy them and possibly any additional evaluations of the structure.

Since 1999, we have been keeping clients happy with quality construction with attention to detail. We understand the needs of every customer, as we take the time to evaluate not only the renovation techniques needed, but the schedule of our clients. We have kept our promise to evaluate every situation, find solutions, and build around obstacles, and will continue to strive to that goal.

As we worked through our construction and testing phase, we found our original design of a 5’ by 7’ size would

Last month we featured an article that spoke of the benefits of prefabrication constructions in interior design. In today’s fast paced society, time is of the essence. Using prefabricated interior solutions are an excellent alternative to conventional construction methods, as they make the construction process quicker, more flexible and more efficient, as well as help cut down production costs.

## Construction and Design Notes - What are the factors related to construction and design that are important?

The slight high cost could be due to the high quality construction and materials used.

This table represents five work packages that were chosen from level 2 of the WBS provided. We have determined these to be critical to the project’s success. For each of the five work packages, we have developed three quality specifications to focus on.

The concept of achieving design with some focus on performance is not new, the tools and methods that changes. To discuss performance for design, it is important to classify and separate its functions and features. If a building consists of a set of parameters, the design process can be associated to a balance act, where parameters are weight and arranged to fit the context of a project.

Prior to the start of construction we will be meeting with all stakeholders to outline exactly to the contractor, us, the level of quality to which they will be seeking. We will be touching on key items in the specifications that have more ridged requirements than industry standards, and the expectations of the contractor to the owner. This will include going over quality control expectations of our suppliers, manufacturers, products, services, and trade’s workmanship as we are held accountable for assuring our subcontractors work follows our guidelines of quality as well. Also a topic of discussion in this meeting will be our submittal and inspection schedule for the quality assurance of each respective section of work. Key design professionals and engineers will be named for areas of work that require shop drawings. Our field staff will keep a daily logbook

The construction procedures implemented will verify that and end results satisfy the project needs and owner’s expectations. Progress records will be kept and any problems that are identified before they develop will permit timely resolution and will minimize the impact.

While you may not be doing any of the actual construction work yourself, you will gain great satisfaction seeing your hard work come to fruition.
