Here we are in the final stretch. I think with a strong effort in these final weeks you have a great opportunity for good strong projects. I am posting to reitterate the final objectives.
complete your revised budget. This is key to giving you direction for the last round of revisions you can still make during your preperation for final review.
At the final presentation I wish to see updated plans, including a site plan, floor plans should be completed at a level of detail similar to the sections and rendered accordingly
express your key selling points (shoot for 3-4) with appropriate project documentation; renderings, drawings, diagrams, precedent, etc.
Lastly you should complete drawings or renderings of the exterior conditions of your building. Either a matching exterior perspective or a series of rendered elevations.
With only 2 weeks remaining this equates to finishing one of these tasks every other day!!!!
