We currently have a project with multiple “sub-projects” at different phases in design and construction. Our folder organization system typically files these sub-projects within the main project folder with no issues… For instance, a residential project broken down into two phases doesn’t become burdensome on the back end when filing or exporting drawings/specifications, but a…

As-hole Built Series: Me versus As-builts
A dramatic interpretation through Gifs… Every project starts with drawings of what exists. A lot of times we generate base drawings after we do a site visit to field measure and photograph existing conditions (which you know we LOVE doing…), but sometimes, our clients already have drawings for us to work with… or so we…

Working Together: Architect + Interior Designer
Hey Friends! As an architecture office we pretty much always have to be in communication with consultants to make sure the functionality of the project doesn’t disrupt the design. Whether it’s figuring out the best location for ductwork to run or resizing structural elements to fit the space, we have to work together! Especially when…

The Hayne Way: From PDF Spec Sheet to REVIT 3D Component
Every now and then, ok, more often than not, we are asked to place the chosen plumbing fixture (furniture piece, light fixture, specialty equipment item, etc.) into our REVIT model and are only working with a manufacturer’s specification sheet with 2-dimensional drawings. I know it’s hard to believe, but not every manufacturer has 3D components……
