Meeting Scheduled for Next Tuesday
Mar 3rd, 2012 by jchow16
After a relaxing reading break last week, our team has managed to schedule a meeting with our client on Tuesday, March 6. During this meeting, we are hoping to finalize the design with the Operations Manager as well as the Executive Director of the Garden, who will ensure that our design is appropriate and “Ming”.
Before the reading break, our team has already decided on what materials to use and also came up with an estimate of how much materials we need, according to our preferred design. The preferred design is having 2 horizontal bamboo sticks with vertical “curly” sticks tied onto the bamboo sticks, forming a simple form of a fence-like barrier. However, we are not set to purchase these materials until we get confirmation from our client on our design and materials list. Unfortunately we are lacking communication with our client, and we really hope that the project will pick up the pace after Tuesday’s meeting.
Because the project is coming to an end very soon, time management and rescheduling a new timeline for our coursework are huge factors that our team must consider about for the rest of the month. We are hoping to build at least 1 of the 3 barriers; if time permits we will be more than happy to complete the project and build all 3 barriers. However, if time is not on our side, then perhaps building 1 barrier as a prototype would have to suffice. Of course, our team would much rather complete the project and meet the client’s goal by the end of the month. Our team is still very enthusiastic about the project and we really want to contribute to the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Gardens.
After meeting with Dr. Nesbit this week, we have decided that Tuesday’s meeting will be a crucial step for the project. At this meeting, we must finalize everything – the design, the materials, the cost, the construction schedule, and the expectations of the project. More exciting blog posts to come next week, so stay tuned! Have a great weekend!
