Day 3 Intensive Week – Cost Breakdown
After sending Anna the two construction options for the planters last night, we began with a call with her to determine which type she wanted to go ahead with… she chose the construction method using sleepers. We therefore spent the morning tweaking the design, while producing detailed construction drawings to use when on site. This was an iterative process to ensure the construction would be as simple as possible, whilst still achieving the overall appearance we and Anna were aiming for.
Once we had the design for the planter and a bench type to match, we were able to calculate the number of items needed for the site plan Anna had agreed to - 8 planters and 2 benches. She had also hoped to make the planters as environmentally friendly as possible, so asked to use untreated wood, if we could do so within budget. After a sunny lunch break, we intensively researched building suppliers to compare the availability and price of the materials needed (with options for treated and untreated timber) and check delivery options to begin building Monday. We rounded the day off with speaking to Anna to go through the cost options for the best option of treated and the best option of untreated.
