Designing a Building 

Kathy: Seeing these blueprints1 really brings this project to life. I can now envision what this building will look like when it’s built. 

Brett: I’m really glad. As the architect on this project, it’s my job to turn your ideas into design. 

Kathy: You did a great job. 

Brett: I had the help of the surveyors and a civil engineer, so I can’t take all of the credit. 

Kathy: We’re ready now to solicit2 bids from general contractors3, don’t you think? 

Brett: These plans will give any contractor4 the specifications5 they need to give a detailed6 and accurate bid. There’ll be no problems with permits, I don’t think, because a similar structure was on this building site about 10 years ago before it was torn down. 

Kathy: I’m hoping not to run into any stumbling blocks, but you never know with a building project. I’ll know we’ve cleared the hurdles7 when I can bring in the interior designers!
