When you transition from construction documentation to actual groundbreaking, an experienced construction administrator is key to a seamless experience. This role completes the three-way partnership between contractors, architects, and you. As the original home designer, your architect is invaluable in the process, passing along the information they’ve learned through previous stages to the builder to support success.
CW Architects provides comprehensive oversight throughout, ensuring your new home is built exactly as designed. Our Nashville team maintains quality control, resolves field questions, and protects your budget and design vision from groundbreaking through completion.
Our Architect-Led Construction Administration Approach
Construction administration is where design meets reality. Our expert residential construction admin services help ensure your project’s integrity and prevent homebuilding delays. Our three key services span the most crucial aspects of building, preventing costly errors and upholding exceptional quality.
Shop Drawing Review
Shop drawings refer to custom drawings created by supply manufacturers that help them deliver precisely the right amounts and types of materials needed. Yet these manufacturers don’t have full visibility into the entire project scope as they prepare the drawings. This gap can easily lead to design misinterpretations that produce inconvenient material shortages during future construction phases.
CW Architects prevents these miscommunications through careful checks and approvals. Once the contractor or builder receives the shop drawings, they forward them to us for review. Think of your home as a complex puzzle where shop drawings represent individual pieces. Our team verifies that each component will fit perfectly into the overall design, avoiding costly delays and ensuring design integrity throughout construction.
Product Submittal Evaluation
Every contractor has products and brands they use and trust. The costs and quality of the materials they choose can vary widely and have a lasting impact on your new home.
Our product submittal evaluation services balance the needs of your contractor, budget, and design considerations. We review the materials that your builder recommends and guide their selections to align with your style and cost needs. This approach enables contractors to work with familiar brands while meeting your expectations for value, beauty, and quality.
Site Observation
Architect accessibility during the building stage is critical for ensuring no design misinterpretations occur. The wrong cut or placement can put you behind schedule, result in additional costs, and affect your preferences and aesthetic vision.
CW Architects consistently visits the premises throughout the construction of your new home. We provide clarifications, redirect, and address any concerns as they arise, keeping the project as design-accurate as possible.
