Even after plans are complete, there are myriad decisions to be made during construction as the plan becomes reality. We recognize and accept that budget pressures can minimize our involvement during construction, but we have also seen our more active engagement in the process bring real value and success to a project.

We meet with the construction manager and subcontractors to clarify design intent and detail, offer supplemental sketches and information as needed, and refine design solutions for site-specific conditions. We walk through with the electrician to fine-tune the installation, offer exterior and interior color palette combinations, and suggest material and fixture selections. We can be an integral part of the construction team, helping the crew to minimize mistakes, keep on schedule, and bring the project to life.

Variations of Construction Consultation can happen with projects at a distance – with periodic videoconferences, phone meetings, digital photos and movies, along with occasional site visits.
