CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS - PHASE 05

Communicate the Intent

Just as the name implies, the Construction Documents phase develops the drawings to a level of detail required to communicate the intent and detailing. The goal of the CD set is to communicate the intent of design.

YAC has a background in construction and high end fabrication including the design and execution of shop drawings. We bring value to the project by being involved in the construction of your project with our background of working collaboratively with builders and makers. Therefore we aim to work through certain detailing directly with the fabricators as we respect that many skilled trades people have their own preferred method of construction and detailing. While the aim is that the CD set captures all intended construction details, we defer to the builders for some highly detailed conditions. For example a custom stair guardrail; the design intent will be outlined in the CD set but the exact assembly details may be deferred to the following phase where we will work collaboratively with the fabricator to draw shop drawings.

At the end of the CD phase your project will start construction!
