This week, the contractors and I began our close collaboration. In order to pin down project scope, we met on and off site and through sketches and measurements developed a spreadsheet of itemized construction costs and schedules, for the clients to review in the following week. Here is a sketch from my notebook illustrating our discussions. The page of the left is about how to frame out the entry wood screens. The one on the right is about how to integrate the kitchen built-in bench, bookshelves and window frames.
