The existing concrete deck is not sloped. Since “you’re the professional” , you are expected to do some educating and coaching of the designers and customers so that they know what to expect from the product once it is delivered and installed. We also use standard deviation. Is this acceptable?

When we finally added all those 2D drawings into one 3D model, there were so many pot-holes that it was clear this set was meant for field design. And when you’re fighting for inches in your renovation design, you really need an existing wall to be where it is drawn (especially if that wall is 1,700 miles from the office).

His greeting might be: “Do as I say, and let me tell you a story about proper design and documentation process. Actually, these last two days are sort of a mad scramble to clear the decks prior to being off for the next two weeks! And oh yea, have a happy holiday!” Happy Holiday to you as well!

In the above photo, I have jumped down into the crawl space to document a few things. I asked the contractor about why there were so many framers working on this one area and it’s because they were there to install the decking on the floor of the main house but had to wait on the city inspector to show up (he was running late).

Our owner is crazy awesome in that he really cares about the design process and keeps asking questions that pushes the design and invariably causes changes. In addition, we made the deck both bigger AND smaller at the same time (that’s the kind of architectural magic we perform at my office).
