During this past week, everyone frantically worked on their Project Book and Specifications! Both of my partners finished their books over the course of the week and began picking their finishes. They also focused a good portion of their time on putting together their construction documents. This week was very busy for all three of us that we didn't get to sit down and talk as a group for as long as we would have liked. I did discuss with Alyssa the different material selections for both of our projects. We focused on the best type of material for certain spaces (my lounge and her "Library").
Following the same schedule as my partners, I also worked on construction documents and my project booklet. I finished my project book and specifications on Thursday allowing myself to really focus on my construction documents for the rest of the weekend. I was able to complete 90% of my CDs with just my finisih schedule, door schedule, and minor details to change! With this progression I will be able to stay on track with the timeline I set for myself and be printing the CDs on Wednesday!

Week 7 & 8: Construction documents
The past two weeks (three if you include spring break) have been extremely stressful and busy! I have been finishing up my booklet and getting it organized to be turned in. The only thing that I have not covered is the FF&E Specs because the task is daunting. I have found more of the codes that apply to my building and have added my design development.
The next large task I took on was developing my construction documents. This has consumed most of my time when working at studio. I have organized and laid out every page of the CDs. Each dimensioned plan, furniture plan, and fire & life safety plan is done. I am currently finishing the reflected ceiling plans and then will be moving on to millwork. I also completed the 2 building sections for the technical packet.
When I met with my group, I realized we were all on different schedules. Addie worked on her construction documents over spring break and has those almost complete. She has begun modeling so she can bring her buildling into 3ds Max for rendering later on. Alyssa has been working on millwork and details within her buildling. She mainly focused on the fireplace last week and creating the drawings for that piece. Each of us plan to finish up our project books during this week and crunching away at our technical packets.
