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…

Day in the Life … Hayne visits Claremont

a day full of meetings… Polli & Blanca road trip! We have quite a few projects currently in Claremont California varying from feasibility studies to ones under construction, so you know what that means… a Field Trip!

Twin Motion VS Enscape

In our last week’s post we took look at what Twin Motion was all about and played around in it to see what it could do. This week we are throwing Twin Motion in the deep end and seeing how it compares to our awesome-sauce Enscape. Check out below to see the results! GRAPHICS Here…

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…

The Hayne Way: From Trace Paper to Presentation

Now we all know that Here@Hayne, we love Revit… However, there are times when the project is starting and different design options are still being explored. Revit has a design option tool but we find that it isn’t the most efficient way of working especially when walls and large parts of the building are going…

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…

Hayne Chit-Chats: BIM Modeling

*Setting the scene* Polli comes into work excitingly because she has thought of something that she thinks will make modeling in the schematic phase much more efficient.   BLANCA! I totally thought of something that will make modeling easier when first working in the project! Oh! That’s awesome Polli! What did you come up with?…
