- No arguing with Build Manager. Build manager will not argue with you, only point out any departures from plans.
- Follow plans. If it is not on the plans, notify manager. This is because any change will have downstream consequences in digital design.
- Digital design frees you from thinking so you can focus on execution.
- Digital design is rare, so you are probably not familiar with it. It's more rigorous than IKEA as here we are building a system of integrated components, not a single product.
- No design changes. BM notes any proposed design change, to be evaluated for integration into the next build.
- With that said - understand Design For Tolerancing, and understand which tolerances matter - at which point in time. Such as - loosely fixed wall vs wall after final nail-off.
- Pre-QC modules are screwed in , only sufficiently to prevent shifting, but not structurally. Final nail-off follows QC, is structural, and marks the point of a qc'd module ready for installation.
- Modules need to be built, and if transported, loaded onto trailer in a specific order. Otherwise you may have the first module you need that requires unloading of entire trailer prior to install.
- When site built - build closest to point of installation. Build stations can be mobile if these are horses.
- Chinese wise man. If you go to bed with an itchy ass, you're gonna wake up with smelly fingers. There is cause and effect. Application example: if your modules are 9' and sill plate is level, your walls will be correct as long as you put one module next to another. Implications: couple minutes per module. Don't need to plumb-level - modules are adjustable until joists are mounted.
