In this month’s installment of our Next Generation series, we talked with Megan Rajner. You may recognize her name from articles written in our magazine, Megan recently received a Masters of Architecture and is currently working for GMT Home Designs.
Historic masonry buildings have common issues that architects, engineers, conservators, contractors, and owners are often challenged with evaluating and addressing. Historic generally refers to buildings 50 years of age or greater with significance architecturally or culturally.
Designers are responsible for converting the design intent into specific indications and words in the construction documents; and it’s the contractor’s responsibility to interpret those indications and words to bid and construct the project. It’s not the designer’s intent but the words and indications that get priced in the contractor’s bid.
