ICON IS ON THE JOB!

Many people do not realize that the professional project architect is not finished with the project when the drawings are done (or should not be!) Icon’s Tami Scott is on the jobsite weekly to make sure that the building is coming out of the ground exactly as she intended in her design documents. In the Phoenix Group system the architect is another set of eyes for maintaining  both accuracy and quality.




Tami meets with Phoenix, Home Gas, Kitchen and Bathroom Solutions. Mega Systems and Cayman Glass on-site for an update on their scope. One of her highest priorities is to make sure that they all fully understand the design documents before they begin and that they know that she is always there to answer any questions that they may have.


The roof cladding goes on – we will be dried in by the weekend.





Tami addresses questions pertaining to the routing of the air conditioning ducting. No-one knows the drawings better than the project architect.


Fine details regarding the placement of glass and mirrors in the bathrooms are adjusted to the homes actual measurements before fabrication begins. When you are dealing with tempered glass there is no trimming that can be done if the product comes in and is the wrong size. Tami checks and double checks to make sure that everyone has it right.
