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.
