We historically go through A LOT of paper! If one good thing came out of the COVID chaos, it has been DIGITAL SUBMITTALS (and our internal effort to do more digital)! Here is a sample of how a few jurisdictions we work in address digital submittals (some are better than others…). LA City (LADBS) LA…

Halloween Horror Stories: Submittal gone wrong!
Once upon a time, a Client told Robbin Hayne (aka the Boss Man) that he would like to build a new house and start construction the following spring.

Architect on Vacation: Holli in Hawaii

the Hayne Way: Site Visits nearing Completion
Site visits are crucial to ensuring that our designs come to life in the real world. We typically schedule our site visits during the construction phase weekly, but depending on project size and location, sometimes we settle for every other week, or even once a month. These visits aim to track project progress, schedule, address…
Real versus Relative
We’ve had a few projects recently, that have required us to edit basic information in our Revit models, specifically levels and topography (or now that we are in Revit 2024, Toposolids). This can seem like such a simple task. I mean, we set our levels and all we need to do is update our base…

Hayne projects, but with Barbie!
Let the Barbie-fication (like beautification but with Barbie…) begin! With the new Barbie movie out, we thought we would look at which Barbie would go with some of our Hayne Houses… Check it out! 1. Malibu Barbie + Sea Level Of course, we need to start with the Malibu Beach Barbie, or more specifically the…
Design in the Details: Switching & Outlets
the standard: Leviton Decora (screwless) This is an excellent standard that we specify on many of our projects. It is simple and clean and comes in various colors so we can match adjacent wall finishes (although our most specified color is white…) to help camouflage the outlets and switches. You can also have the option…
