Builder

As a Builder or Contractor you are probably used to working with a Lighting Designer. Your needs are unique, however, since the "buck" stops with you. All parties look to you to formulate a budget for the project and you are the one depended on to meet the constraints of both budget and time-frame. How can a Professional Lighting Designer help you meet your goals?

A set of clear, concise documentation that often includes preliminary budgeting, helps to set the initial expectations early in a project. Designs and drawings based on practical field experience are critical to your ability to adhere to the cost-estimate and the time-line you are promising. It is imperative that we, as Lighting Professionals, listen to the needs of the Clients, first and foremost, but then be capable of specifying lighting products that are of good quality, are readily available, are easily installed, and are well-documented and supported.

It is the intent of David Wilds Patton Lighting Design to never be the slow cog in the machine of any project. The documentation we provide is based, partly, on what we would like to have if we were in the field installing the design and is detailed and easy to read. This makes the process, from bidding to installation, run smoothly and gives all the partners the flexibility to respond to field conditions and changes. Timely responses to RFI's and an open atmosphere of collaboration is imperative and desirable so that everyone can accomplish their task and do it with a sense of camaraderie and pride in our work. We can only be successful if we are able to bring the knowledge we have accumulated over years of practice to the table, and then, most importantly, to work together to make it happen.
