Byrne Job Synopsis
Tom and Patsy Byrne came into our offices in the summer of 1998. They had
learned of KSI through a direct mailing of our brochure and were interested in
having a home designed and built by KSI. In our initial meetings they brought
in various books and articles on Craftsman style homes detailing both interior
and exterior features that they wished to incorporate into their new home. Tom
had also prepared a number of sketches that blocked out how he wanted the
rooms arranged for their living style. We also met on the site to review what the
geographical limitations of the property were and how to orient the view and
ensure easy access to the beach
After the preliminary design was complete, we soft-bid the job to get a
preliminary cost for the project. The Byrnes felt, after this initial run at costs, the
need to reduce the size of the house somewhat to be able to incorporate the
many detailed (and expensive) features associated with Craftsman style
homes (i.e.: wood divided light windows, period lighting, cedar shingle siding,
period hardware, etc.). The house was then redrawn and rebid. At the Byrnes'
approval, the project was submitted for permit in late 1998. Because of the site
conditions, actual construction started in the spring of 1999. The Byrnes
maintained their Seattle home during the course of construction and the
construction details were handled via telephone communication and periodic
meetings on the jobsite.
