Basic, exterior and interior architectural design is finished, but will likely be tweaked with our next step. We are now on to mechanical, electrical and plumbing design for this 14-story, luxury apartment building. This part of the design process is not very sexy but crucial and tedious. We have a couple months of work ahead of us in this effort. Once this design reflects our combined best efforts, I will spend several thousands of dollars having outside
architects and mechanical engineers critique our work and look for
inefficiencies, ergonomic awkwardness and any other
structural/layout issues. In my view, as a humble small developer, the 'heavy-lifting' is getting the proper design and materials concisely and clearly planned and illustrated with as small a margin of error as possible. Physical construction is the easy part. This building was just constructed for $8,000.00 and will be demolished in a couple years when the mid-rise building is finished. The purpose of this temporary construction is providing meals, showers and laundry services to 50 workers.
This is a 40 foot cargo-container we have converted to half office - half materials storage.
Just moving in.
Getting frame of signage ready.
