DesignDesign: Milestone week…
Every firm checked
The design milestone is Friday. Every firm has checked its own models. Nobody has put them together.
Stage 4 · Design it · Stop 4 of 7
The night before
The back alley's bill so far: 79 weeks · See the bill
The information · Every firm's model, before the milestone
Every firm has checked its own part of me. Nobody's looked at all of me together yet. Do it before the milestone, not the night before.
The wrong way
Together, at last
Thursday, 9pm. Josh, the model coordinator, puts all the models together for the first time. The pipework runs through the plant room wall. A cable route goes up the stairs.
Fourteen hours
Forty clashes. Fourteen hours to go. It goes to the client anyway.
DesignDesign: Two weeks later…
The comments
The client's comments come back: forty of them.
The same forty
Josh holds them up against his Thursday-night list. It's the same forty, in a slightly different order.
Two weeks
Two weeks answering them. The pizza box is still on the desk.
Every piece checked. The whole thing looked at for the first time, the night before, and then again by the client.
+2 weeks on the back alley's bill: Laid out the night before: forty clashes sent to the client, and two weeks answering them.
