23 Feb 2022 Wed Job-sites

notes after a site meeting, I drew this

Today was spent at job-sites: Cove at 10 a.m. followed by PD Residences at 2 p.m. and then the Impiana Hotel (with Freddie). 

We make it a habit to visit our project sites at least once a fortnight; not just to inspect built works, but to allow the builders an opportunity to ask questions about upcoming tasks, to show samples and mock ups. It is time consuming but it cancels the impression most consultants and builders have that once the architects come to the site it is to solve PROBLEMS. Meaning that shit has happened, bringing with it negative connotations - it is better to treat the site visit as a work session - with the builder and his sub-contractors.
