04 /The Principle Behind the Work
Information is Our Product
Architectural practices provide a professional service, but much of what clients, consultants and contractors actually receive is information.
Drawings, models, schedules and specifications therefore need to do more than satisfy a process. They should be accurate, coordinated, consistent and straightforward for somebody else to understand and use.
That principle has shaped my approach to Revit standards, project templates, drawing presentation, QA, technical coordination and staff development throughout my career.
Good-looking drawings are not a substitute for accurate information, but clarity and consistency make accurate information easier to understand and harder to misuse.
My aim is always the same: produce information that aids seamless delivery.
