The Martin/Martin CES team has innovatively addressed the issue of fragmented fabrication drawing production that design and construction teams consistently encounter with today’s increasingly tight project delivery schedules. This process allows delivery of the first package of shop drawings (reviewed and approved!)

Design-Build was not always accepted in the industry. So when he encountered Ralph Korte’s vision of Design-Build in action, he saw the industry’s future. . In grade school, Dennis’s art teacher noted his ability to draw and suggested he consider a career in art. There Dennis learned about “on-site design” from Jack Goldman.

Last time building owners took an interest in who called the shots was when ‘project managers’ got established in a central role, independent from design consultants.

I mentioned before design consultants regularly and intentionally showing incomplete drawings with a lot of padding (irrelevant information) to keep the mental image of the proposed building as vague as possible for as long as possible. Assessing documents for permits seems to be another status quo that cannot be improved.

The task was to demolish a 1980s addition, restoring the building to its original design, and then adding our own additions. To add to the complexity, the as-built drawings we had on file were not accurate to the true construction of the existing structure because the original architect had improvised the design during construction.
