mEETING TRADES AT SITE VISITS

In a new construction project, things are easier to predict. In a renovation project however, this is not always the case as we are obliged to work within the parameters of the existing structure and once we open up walls we often discover issues that may impact achieving our design vision.

This is where being open minded and flexible can be a great asset as we are often forced to pivot or make a compromise in order to move forward. In some cases the compromise we have to make actually opens our minds to entirely new possibilities which turn out beautifully in the end.

All of this problem solving takes place during scheduled site visits with the construction manager, supervisor, trades, fabricators, suppliers and artisans where we all push one another to think ‘outside of the box’ to figure out a way to turn our dreams into reality.
