Construction Consultation

Communication & Oversight — This phase is crucial for the architect and involves ongoing communication throughout construction. It includes phone calls, emails, and site visits as needed to ensure that the construction is progressing according to the approved drawings. Tom is available for site visits at the request of the homeowner, contractor, or building inspector to address any questions or concerns.

Availability — Tom is highly accessible during the construction phase, understanding that quick responses and on-site visits can help prevent costly mistakes and delays. Since adjustments are often necessary, especially when working with an existing building, having the architect involved in these decisions ensures that changes are made smoothly and effectively.

Additionally, this phase provides Tom with valuable opportunities to further expand his construction knowledge by learning from the contractors and tradespeople on the job. It’s a process of continuous improvement that benefits both the current project and future ones.
