Several months ago I completed the final set of construction documents
for a custom residence I designed. Since then, I've had fairly regular
communications with the client... with the hopes that the additional
information, clarification, and recommendations I provide help mitigate
the absence of my Construction Review services. Over the past few days, the client has sent me a series of photos taken
during the course of the build so far. Receiving and reviewing these
photos is exciting, and I'm pleased to be sharing a number of these as
part of this blog post... my first for this particular project. I must point out that I've noticed a discrepancy between what's built
and what I designed/documented. Unfortunately, such discrepancies are
to be expected in the absence of regular on-site reviews. For all
custom residential projects, I do my best to stress the importance of
Construction Review services... the critical third stage offered to
clients, after completion of Conceptual Design and Construction
Documentation. Having addressed the above, I must point out that beyond the noted
discrepancy, I am pleased with what I see in the photos. The project
Builder, CJ Poirier, is doing great work... construction appears to be
completed with skill and care. And most importantly, the client appears
to be happy with progress as well.
_______________________________________________________________________ The following are notes per the attached photos, in order:
- A view of the Rear Facade, which fronts a lagoon, wetlands, and a golf
course beyond.
- A view of the Rear Facade while standing on the golf course.
- A view of the Front Facade in earlier stage of construction.
- A view of the Front Facade with the Lightwell framed up.
- Front Facade with the windows installed... and framing at the Ground
Floor "Base Zone" (within the BFE) is well under way, including the
small screened "window" visible at left of center next to the ladder.
- This is a great photo, because the "corbels" at the main eave are visible.
- And lastly, a photo of the Front Entry's custom milled and glazed
entry doors.
