By using this sensitive data, the site will begin to dictate &amp; design the building by determining both its shape and orientation. \u00a0The design is then presented to the client for discussion.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Basement Schematic Design\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.norwoodarchitects.com\/websitenew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Thall-lower-plan-924x385.jpg\" width=\"920\" height=\"383\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>DESIGN DEVELOPMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have the ability to prepare renderings and other visual aids to facilitate your marketing needs.

This involves defining all elements of the project usually with the assistance of autocad. Dimensions, details, and specifications are all defiining elements that go into these documents. Just as the contract for construction between the Owner and Contractor is a binding and legal document, so are the construction documents. It is critical to have a detailed set of drawings defining the scope of the project to protect the owner and his\/her investment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Construction Administration is a very important phase of the project. One of the first tasks faced in this phase is the selection of a Contractor. \u00a0Whether through bidding or negotiation, we are here to assist you with this process. \u00a0Helping you with selecting a contractor can be very beneficial especially if you have no prior construction experience. \u00a0Once construction begins, we will follow the project through the \u00a0entire construction phase. Our services include site visits, reviewing pay requests, \u00a0reviewing shop drawings submittals and change orders to name a few, as well as\u00a0resolving \u00a0many issues that surface during this phase.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.norwoodarchitects.com\/websitenew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/M-Plan-Label.png\" data-pp=\"lightbox[65]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image\" alt=\"M-Plan-Label\" src=\"http:\/\/www.norwoodarchitects.com\/websitenew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/M-Plan-Label.png\" width=\"940\" height=\"38\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Master Planning is not just placing buildings on a site, but to create a sense of place and community. \u00a0The characteristics of the site should help dictate the layout of its components. The exterior relationships between buildings are just as important as the relationship between interior spaces of buildings.
