Engineering update and Next Steps

Hi Team,

Here’s a quick recap of last week’s progress:

  • We made a big push to reach the civil engineers after a slow initial response.

  • On October 1st, Jordan shared the draft structural plans.

  • Sean reviewed and gave feedback on October 2nd, specifically about the roof framing—requesting angled blocks instead of a sloped structure to better align with the wood underside.

  • Jordan accepted those suggestions and has already shared the updated plans with Amy and David (our clients) as well as contractor Mike.

  • The only detail left is finalizing the front concrete columns at the garage.

  • Our lighting consultant delivered the architectural lighting fixture schedule along with thorough notes.

  • The lighting layout currently features smart switching in the main areas and standard switching elsewhere.

  • We’ve carefully considered all your feedback, most of which will be addressed during the construction document phase, which we are starting to ramp up now.

For this week:

  • Sean will continue collaborating with the civil engineers and Jordan.

  • Rachel will update the lighting plan and prepare preliminary selections for the decorative fixtures.

What we need from you:

  • Please keep us posted on any pricing concerns or needed revisions as soon as they come up.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Waldron Designs was founded by Rachel Waldron (that’s me!). in 2013.

I am so happy designing that it is not unusual to catch me in a giggle as I rev up to do my work. I think of my designs the way that I think of my children- each is unique and has their own personality. It is my job to nurture them and help them grow, not define them.

I got my bachelor's degree in interior design from Washington State University - a CIDA-accredited school - in 2005, immediately moved into a leadership position and have continued designing with passion.

I received my MBA in Marketing in 2012 and launched Waldron Designs in 2013. When I am not designing, you will find me enjoying my precious time with my husband and two spectacular children.
