This project in San Francisco had already begun pouring its foundations when the architect was brought onto the team.  As a cost saving measure, the design team suggested to the owner to change exterior cladding from stucco and metal panel system, as was originally designed for, to an aesthetically similar EIFS system.  This resulted in needing to update each exterior detail over the course of several months in the set of construction documents to reflect this change.  It also required reaching out to various manufacturers of agreed on products in the project’s basis-of-design to build consensus on how these products should interact to minimize potential failure.
