Another valid point that we ran into at Gehry was that a level 5 finish does nothing for a curved or slightly faceted surface. The GA definition calls for an even veneer over the entire surface for level 5. If the surface has any faceting at all, it will simple telegraph that through the veneer. And curved surfaces are basically never true to radius.<br /><br />We ended up creating a level 6 finish that called for a full veneer over the entire surface that must correct any surface defects or irregularities in geometry and requires multiple coats as necessary to achieve it. It basically is creating a gypsum veneer type of finish, but using standard taping compounds. (Gyp veneer specs have the same problem with irregular surfaces). It is an expensive surface, but the problem was actually raised by a subcontractor on a project. Once we inserted the level 6 finish in our specs, we very seldom had any serious arguments from the subs, most of them seemed grateful to understand what was expected from them from the start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416426589713285085.post-30347706671674045812010-03-09T16:32:52.173-06:002010-03-09T16:32:52.173-06:00Sheldon:

The stonemason demonstrated a standard of workmanship that he could achieve, that was accepted, and that therefore was to be expected for the project. If we require that the mockup is to be constructed by the same people who will do the work, then there shouldn't be any issue of unrealistic expectations.Dave Metzgernoreply@blogger.com
