Architect Wasted My Time

[@PaulBlackwood-t4y]

For those who are complaining in the comments below that architectural drawings don’t contain all the dimensions needed to build a house or building without doing some on site calculations, obviously misunderstand what an architect’s expertise is, what the client is willing to pay them to do, and more importantly the difference between construction drawings and fabrication drawings. Architects are designers with building science and code expertise, they are not carpenters or framers. And while some architects and craftsperson’s do have these expertise, and I’m sure those architects bring a lot of extra value to the carpenters and framers, 90 percent don’t have these expertise and never will, so adjust your expectations. It’s like complaining that framers don’t do a good job with finely finished millwork.

[@billybert3506]

Through almost 3 decades of providing a residential architectural design service, I have learned that communication is key. But to also strive to keep myself aware of what builders will follow and what they won't, and to always offer to meet and discuss the architectural intent. As we are continuing full-speed-ahead into the bureaucratic nature and overburden of code regulations and restrictions, things are simply going to continue to get more tense between all entities involved. I have begun to 3D model various portions of a project design to take into account these overlaps of structural design and typical or common framing methods, to strive to take all into account while the project is in digital development. Hopefully as time proceeds forward, the architectural and contractor spectrum of individuals involved can find some common interests in addressing things for a shared goal of quality for our clients who are providing for our lives.

[@janderson8401]

When I was a young apprentice working for my uncle he was building an addition designed by a nationally known architect for a best selling author. The plans had a schedule of window sizes, the plan view showed the location of each window, but the elevations showed no dimensions how far above the floor to place the windows. Uncle Art had sat with the plans one evening scaling those dimensions. The day after we had framed and sheathed what would become the new front entrance to the house the the homeowner’s wife came out and said she didn’t think the window openings flanking the front door looked right. The architect was called and he showed up around noon and proclaimed the window rough openings to be correct.

I personally think any architects or engineers should be required to have 2-3 years of working in the field after their education before they can get their certifications. Some are really good, but not enough of them.

[@AwesomeFramers]

I don't disagree. In schoole they also made us learn basic drawing. Always good to see both sides.

[@johnhaller5851]

They do have to work under a licensed architect or engineer for several years before they get their PE. While it's not required to be in the field, they are frequently the ones who go to the field, especially if the municipal inspectors aren't able competent for evaluating the construction (typically commercial), or to approve field deviations from the plan. So, they should have since field experience, but not necessarily in the type of construction they do when they first started.

After completing their degree, graduate architects undergo a 3-4 year internship under the direct supervision of a licensed architect. During this period, they must gain experience working on various types and sizes of projects. The internship is based on logged hours and requires certification from a licensed and supervising architect. After successfully completing the internship, they must pass national examinations, which are known to be quite challenging. It’s not common to encounter architects who are under the age of 28. Architects must complete mandatory continuing education each year in order to maintain their license. A licensed architect's primary responsibility is to protect the public. Most issues between architects and clients are contractual in nature. Many clients shop for the lowest price, which is obviously a mistake in any marketplace. A very wise, capable and experienced contractor once told me that everyone likes to complain about architects and engineers even though they typically get 99.999% of their work correct. He freely admitted that his track record and that of his peers were rarely that good. A good contractor checks the drawings and asks for additional information before they pull out a saw and hammer.

Well said. In my area “contractors” get their work by word of mouth. Small towns are the worst because the same mediocre builder gets the jobs because people know who he is. And only because of that. I worked for a guy that is the local “youth leader” at the biggest church in the county. He’s extremely overweight and lazy. I wouldn’t pay him to build a doghouse.

It does make you really appreciate when you get to work with architects who actually understand how the people building the project think and make the plans, and the design, something that is just easier to work with and build.

[@brianyoung6779]

Love your Channel , 30 + carpenter. Hoping no one has to deal with this as I know I did many times.

[@deezynar]

I draw plans. I run a string of dimensions that start at the outside corner, go to the center of the first opening, then align with the near edge of the first wall, the center of the next opening, the near edge of the next wall, etc., all the way until the far side of the building. I go back and run a second string that only shows wall locations, NO openings. I finish that side of the building with a single dimension that shows the overall, outside to outside. If there are walls in the interior that are not located by the exterior dimension strings, I run as many interior strings as required. What I described is supposed to be standard, but I have seen a lot of plans that do not do it that way. One thing I do that is not standard, I'll draw one dimension to some wall that's out in the middle. You are supposed to give two dimensions, one on each side of the wall. But by the time you are dimensioning the center area, you already have a crowded drawing and muddying it up any further with a redundant dimension seems to cause more problems than it solves. One other thing that I do is put the dimensions on a floor plan that is ONLY there for dimensions. No notes, no door or window sizes, nothing but dimensions so a person has a decent chance of reading them. That means the framer has to refer to two sheets to get dimensions AND determine nominal opening sizes, but I think that being able to read the dimensions clearly is more important. I haven't heard any complaints from framers, but I'd be interested to hear feedback.

[@mdun1440]

One thing to add if you haven't already is a window/door schedule with R/O (rough-openings) for the manufacturer to reference. One less thing for the site crews to confirm in the field. We also add the load points from above so the support can be built with the walls. Not necessary for experienced framers but I would like to think it saves time backframing. Cheers!

[@deezynar]

@@mdun1440 I don't spec door or window brands, I just write the nominal size and type in place on the drawing. I have done door and window schedules for architects I've worked for, but even they seem to be backing away from them for residential jobs. They add a lot of extra work, and clients have a tendency to change their mind about products between the time the plans are drawn, and the house gets built. That's why I leave the selection of door and window brands and models to the owner. The contractor can sway them towards the type they prefer if they like. As for posts and columns, they are called out on the framing plan.

I like that 3x on panel edges plan. I was thinking about doing all 3x on my next project but only doing it on panel edges is smarter.

The reason for the 3x is the tight nailing pattern. I wouldn't spend the money on 3x and lower the amount of insulation in the wall unless required by the engineer.

[@major__kong]

The reason I-joists are more efficient is because bending loads put stress at the top and bottom of a beam, and it's a lot more stress than the transverse shear stress caused by the load. So top and bottom is where you want the bulk of the material in a beam.

I’ve worked with open web trusses and can see the advantage for plumbers, HVAC and electricians. They don’t have to cut holes in the I joists to route pipes, ducting etc. Which do you prefer? Are open trusses as strong as I joists? My bathroom floor was framed with I joists (over a garage) that were doubled up for a long span of like 25’ at least, 14” OC. (no lally column). There was significant movement in the floor and you could feel it. On a future build, I’m curious if open trusses would be better.

[@AwesomeFramers]

I would recommend you get pricing for both I Joists and floor trusses. I find there is more noticeable vibration with open web and for us the cost was much higher.

[@MrRedpennington]

I'll tell you what. I would like to see any framer or any other contractor try to go to the city and get a permit for a new house. Make sure that you know all of the relevant UBC, UPC, local NEC codes, planning, engineering, building, and fire department requirements that need to be on all plans. Make sure you can speak before a planning commission, town council, and deal with angry neighbors. If you live in a seismic area, make sure you know all of the codes that deal with nailing patterns, hold downs, strapping, etc. No contractor I have ever met who was not design/build could ever hope to get a permit from a city for a build. I am not saying that architects can build houses, but contractors measure their worth on a project generally in excess of what it actually is and always believe that they are 'smarter' than the architect which they rarely are in my experience. They have skills, it's not the same as intelligence. 40 years an architect, built 2 of my own houses, started framing at 11 years old with my grandfather. And P.S., I love and respect all of my contractors even when they think I am as dumb as a post! Which is often.....

90% of architects are a waste of time and money. Hire a good draftsmen if you can’t find a good architect.

I'm so glad I don't live the the Peoples Republic of California. Natural disasters and a supernatural belief system have created an expensive and miserable nightmare. You seem happy though 😄.

I didnt even know you needed to go to college to pound nails.

Architects have zero understanding of how something is actually constructed. Their role is just cool ideas, nothing of actual value or technical understanding. Their artistic at best, engineers are the real brains.

[@tpatton7898]

…clearly a comment from someone that has know idea of what they are talking about in Residential construction located in a place that has actual building codes😂

[@kyleh7390]

Actually you wasted the architects time. Terrible framer

[@AwesomeFramers]

Oh look, more anti-intellectualism broad strokes from some real “gems of humanity”. 😂😂😂

Complains about authority, works a "Let's go Brandon" into the mix and goes on about the news media...

[@AwesomeFramers]

The other framer's name is Brandon. I did NOT work a "let's go Brandon" in there as a reference. The joke about the media is a joke. Where was the complaint about authority? A complaint about the lack of quality is not the same thing. You hearing this through the filter of your own bias.

[@tpatton7898]

ya…blame the architect that he so dumb and lazy that he did not put dimensions on your design documents….rather than blame him…why not buy a cheap laptop and Blue beam software(it cost $260) and put all the measurements you want on the plans the night before? You said it “just a few clicks”.

[@AwesomeFramers]

So its our job to add dimensions now? What about al the window details that didn't match? How about the lack of dimensions on the sections? Or the lack of sections? Should I ask the architect to do my job then? What about the plumbers, should they do some framing because I missed it?

[@phillipwhitley2054]

Just curious, why do you work a circular saw up-and-down when you cut

[@AwesomeFramers]

Old habit. Often material will bind and chopping in prevents that.
