Clients better served by others already know it all, reckon that what I do has to be – had better be – cheap and easy, already know from childhood what a home design and home drawing project ought to cost, have a perfect vision of exactly what something ought to look like way ahead of the first line drawn, and do not understand how everyone else can be so stoopid as to not share that vision, or they mistake me for a certified marriage counselor.  Worse clients pass through here like cracked corn through the Christmas Goose.   Before The Architect

DREAM HOME BUILDING TO-DO SCHEDULE

INTRODUCTION

Herewith, a listing of dream home building to-do schedules used by this dream home designer. 

This list is not complete; this list will not ever be complete.  Home building to-do schedules serve purposes which purposes are sometimes generally applicable and sometimes only immediately applicable.  The general stuff is likely well covered-up already; however, the one-off stuff is open-ended.  Gotta lot of info on fine home designing, fine home building, or bridging home designing and home building in order to present with comprehension, consistency, and discipline?  Then create another schedule.

This litany is cross-referenced to passage throughout the website.  Some are articles.  Some are simply expositions or lesser descriptions.  Some few have yet to be authored hereunder.

FINE HOME BUILDING TO-DO SCHEDULES

ATTIC AIR VENT SCHEDULE  In this dream home designer's opinion, most get this wrong.  Roofers'll love you for not paying attention to this stuff.

BATHROOM EXHAUST, OR INDOOR AIR QUALITY, FAN SCHEDULE  Get serious about bathroom indoor air quality.

BUILDING AUTHORITY SCHEDULE  . . . to help assure a clear communication of a complex dream home design.

CEILING FAN SCHEDULE  Often a last moment consideration - when there's the least time and, maybe the least framing and electrical wiring provision except on a demo-laden retrofit.  Or give it up for critical space indoor air quality.

CONNECTOR SCHEDULE  . . . specify and rest easy . . . don't specify and wonder all your days.  

      DOOR SCHEDULE  Be sure you and the others know what goes where and how.

EMERGENCY EGRESS SCHEDULE  Get this wrong and it might not just be you suffering.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCHEDULE  This schedule can shape designing and building not only at the margins, but also at the core.  Didn't know about intermittent high wind conditions?  All that snow?  Fewer clear days than you'd reckoned?  More humidity than you'd expected?  What termites?  What can we do about high probability of decay?

FINISHING SCHEDULE  Maybe the most difficult to complete and maybe the most useful when begun early-on.

FIXTURE UNIT SCHEDULE  Not often called for, but you never know . . . especially in unusual designing opportunities, e.g., temporarily concealed baths or certain fixtures preplanned but not initially installed or larger layouts or exceptional applications.  Missing plumbing while roughing-in can be a major problem just down the dream home building road a-piece. 

FOUNDATION DRAINAGE SCHEDULE  Foundation drainage is not often done to these high standards, in this dream home designer's opinion.

HEADER SCHEDULE  . . . for those who think the Code's swell.

HOME LIGHT INTERIORS, NIGHTLIGHT FOR AGING EYES SCHEDULE - THE BASICS as referenced principally in text and included to The Math section.  This lays it all out in plainspeak.

HOME LIGHT INTERIORS, NIGHTLIGHT FOR AGING EYES SCHEDULE - THE MATH  You'd think that the math would be in everybody's fine home designing kit bag and you'd be wrong.  One-of-kind fine home designing tool kit.

HOME LIGHT FLUTTER SCHEDULE (BY WAY OF OK AND NOT-OK CEILING AREAS FOR DOWNLIGHT, IN PLAN VIEW)  This is nowhere else to be found.  Priceless.

NATURAL HOME LIGHT ILLUMINATION, OR DAYLIGHT, SCHEDULE   Let the sun shine in on your terms.

ROOF SLOPE SCHEDULE  One or two roof slopes - probably needn't bother.  Got six?  Or more?  Bother.

ROOF SLOPES SCHEDULE  This is what can come of 30+ roof planes in more than a half-dozen slopes, in order to be sure that what's expected is what's done.

SURFACE AREA SCHEDULE  While there's no furshur right way, there are plenty of wrong ways to detail a home's dimensions by not being specific and all-inclusive.

TRIM GUIDELINES SCHEDULE  Finish trim's like dressing for the party.  Make it yours.  Make it right.  Don't cheap it up.  Pay attention to what you're doing.

WATERSHED SCHEDULE You'll likely need to think over how much roof water runoff goes where on its way to grade.

WINDOW SCHEDULE   Be sure you and the others know what goes where and how.
