Construction Administration
In any development project, one hopes that the project will finish with no issues, but inevitably, there will be unforeseen conditions or discrepancies during construction that are unexpected. As a non-profit organization, minimizing unnecessary spending from ill-informed decisions becomes essential. Construction administration services provided by our architect will help us navigate construction effectively so that spending during construction remains manageable when changes and inspection issues occur.
Your architect knows the design and can produce construction sketches for our contractor and inspector throughout the process to adjust details. Utilizing construction administration will help us avoid costly changes to the original design and help simplify construction for the contractor, thus directly resulting in cost savings.
Additionally, our architects will research and apply code to assist our local jurisdiction in correcting judgments. Building inspectors occasionally like to have certain aspects of the building constructed to their standards. Because all code decisions are an interpretation of the International Building Code, our architect will assist in proposing beneficial code interpretations to aid in a cost-effective solution to the inspector's requests.
