To prepare for your meeting and address the discrepancy between the structural and architectural

drawings of the G+1 home, follow these steps to ensure you're professional, efficient, and
solution-oriented:

1. Review the Drawings in Detail

 Compare architectural vs structural drawings side by side.


 Note all inconsistencies, such as:
o Column positions
o Beam layout mismatches
o Wall thickness or alignment issues
o Staircase dimensions
o Door/window placement
o Slab edges and cantilevers
 Highlight or mark the areas of difference for easy reference.

2. Document the Issues

Create a simple report or checklist, for example:

Drawing Element Architectural Plan Structural Plan Issue Description


Column C1 20cm from wall 50cm from wall Misalignment in column position
Staircase width 1.2m 1.5m Size mismatch, affects clearance

This will help guide the discussion and show you’ve done your homework.

3. Define the Objective for the Meeting

 Explain that you found inconsistencies and want to align the drawings before
construction begins.
 Aim to get the client’s decision on which plan to prioritize or whether to involve the
original architect/engineer for revisions.

4. Plan Your Recommendations

 Suggest coordinating a joint review with both the architect and structural engineer.
 Recommend that either the architectural or structural drawing be adjusted for
alignment based on practical buildability and safety.
 Mention the importance of avoiding rework or delays by resolving these now.

5. Bring Visual Aids

 Print or have a digital version of both sets of drawings.


 Highlight the mismatched parts clearly.
 If possible, prepare a corrected sketch or overlay showing a proposed resolution.

6. Prepare a Professional Attitude

 Be solution-focused, not blame-focused.


 Emphasize your role is to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency.
 Be ready to answer technical or cost-related questions.

Sample Agenda for the Meeting:

1. Greet and state the purpose clearly.


2. Present the discrepancies with visuals.
3. Explain why it’s critical to resolve now.
4. Suggest a resolution path.
5. Agree on next steps (revisions, contacting designers, etc.).
