The Critical Role of Construction Administration
At Waldron Designs, we believe that the success of your project doesn’t end with a beautiful set of drawings. Construction administration is a crucial phase that ensures your vision is translated into reality with care, precision, and integrity. Here’s why this service matters- and why we require a deposit to secure our involvement.
Why We Require a Deposit
Our design drawings serve as a comprehensive roadmap for your project, but construction is a complex process. Unexpected changes-such as discontinued materials or unforeseen site conditions- are common. Construction administration allows us to remain actively involved, providing guidance and solutions as these situations arise.
Requiring a deposit ensures that we are available to support you and your contractor throughout construction. It also clarifies our role for the entire team, reducing confusion and ensuring a smoother process for everyone involved.
The Value of Construction Administration
1. Submittal and Shop Drawing Review
During construction, fabricators and suppliers submit shop drawings and material samples for approval. These documents show how our designs are being interpreted and implemented. Our review ensures that every detail aligns with your vision and meets our standards for quality and sustainability. This step is essential, as initial submittals often require clarification or adjustment.
2. Sourcing Sustainable Alternatives
If a specified material becomes unavailable or is found to be unsuitable, we are here to recommend alternatives that maintain the integrity of your design and our commitment to healthy, sustainable choices. Our expertise helps you avoid compromises on quality, safety, or environmental responsibility.
3. Problem-Solving and Advocacy
Construction inevitably brings challenges. Our ongoing involvement allows us to address issues promptly, advocate for your interests, and keep the project moving forward efficiently. We work collaboratively with your contractor to resolve questions, manage changes, and ensure that the final outcome reflects your goals.
Change is Expected- and Manageable
Adjustments during construction are normal. By keeping us involved, you protect the integrity of your design and benefit from our experience in navigating the unexpected. Our role is to safeguard your investment, support your well-being, and help create a home that is both beautiful and enduring.
At Waldron Designs, construction administration is not an add-on- it’s a vital part of our commitment to delivering thoughtful, sustainable, and client-focused results. We appreciate your trust and look forward to supporting you through every stage of your project.
