Utilizing the construction drawings generated in the previous phase, the contractor builds the house via means and methods that are generally understood but not dictated.
The significant value add service the architect provides at this point in the project is the ability to help both the client and the contractor interpret the drawings for the best possible result. This gives the contractor constraints as well as flexibility to build to the client expectations and quality.
At this point, the number of people having positive input on the project increases tremendously.
Leveraging the knowledge of the entire crew of subcontractors, the contractor can bring valuable ideas to the table through knowledge, experience, and craft. The Client/Contractor/Architect synergy, when fully realized, can be a significant benefit for all aspects of the building process.
As a full-service architectural design firm, GF Architecture is with you every step of the way, ensuring that the ideas conceived in the early stages are realized when the build is complete.
