<u><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></u>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recently, I decided to see what all the fuss is about Food Trucks!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wish I would have done sooner...My wife, myself, and a couple of friends went on what I called a <i>Food Safari </i>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In other words we went searching for the food trucks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were aided greatly by the web site <a href="http://roaminghunger.com/">/roaminghunger.com/</a>. You can choose your city and time slots and it maps the location of the Trucks...Then your off to a delicious food chasing experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">P.S. As an Architect I appreciate the very efficient use of space and vibrant imagery and creativity of these mobile works of Architecture!</span><br />

They were often considered one and the same, a <b>Master-builder</b>. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Construction techniques were passed down by oral communication thru apprenticeship.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After the advent of scientific methods of construction the separation of design and construction became the norm. Specialization has its advantages however many are opting for a more efficient and streamlined approach to building.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The DESIGN-BUILD APPROACH offers the following advantages.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Ongoing budget control and management</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Single source accountability</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Efficient communication</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Better time and schedule management</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5. Quality control</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6. Team approach to problem solving</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">7. Less Litigation</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No perfect approach exist, however DESIGN-BUILD's many advantages make it an approach worth serious investigation and consideration!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">See link for The Design-Build Institute of America</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.dbia.org/">www.dbia.org</a></div>joejacobshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12262429153274592231noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397156935070494073.post-29814513701994744592011-06-23T12:36:00.000-07:002011-07-07T11:13:48.039-07:00Talk 650 am powered by CBS RADIO-Joe Jacobs-discussing Architecture in Houston Texas!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
