We are Thankful For … Digital Submittals
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)!

The HAYNE Way: Drawing Changes through Phases
As a project progresses over time, the drawing sets progress with it. From Schematic Design to Construction Documents, each drawing set becomes more informative and descriptive about the scope of work. For example, all your projects may have the same base detail but a few of them have specific conditions around an arched opening or…
