Construction to Completion Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:05:53 -0500 Post Construction Review: Looking Back E-Scripts-Presentations.jpg ongratulations! We have taken your idea and vision to completion. This is the final step in our proven project process. We've completed the punchlist, notified you of completion and you have moved back in to start enjoying your new environment.

    The last thing we ask of you is to complete a client survey; designed to give us candid feedback on the job we have done for you. Finally, we will schedule followup calls/visits with you in three months and one year to ensure you are completely satisfied and we have not overlooked any details.

    Thank you for your business!]]>     http://www.jsbdesignbuild.com/approach/vi_post_construction_review/post_construction_review_looking_back.html http://www.jsbdesignbuild.com/approach/vi_post_construction_review/post_construction_review_looking_back.html VI.

Construction Planning Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:00:00 -0500 Schematic Design: Concept to Paper prints_blue.jpg chematic is just a fancy word for putting all the concepts down on paper. These including architectural, engineering, mechanical and electrical drawings including those necessary for permitting and construction, establishing the interior design approach and documenting the product selections within the product allowance budget. In more detail:
      1. Develop floor plans, elevations and electrical plan
      2. Determine structural, mechanical and electrical requirements
      3. Layout site requirements
      4. Review plans with appropriate engineers
      5. Develop room by room specifications
      6. Create "allowance" worksheet and review with interior designer
      7. Review all the above with client for approval
