Project Management Services provide...."The Rescue"

Buckminster Fuller provided the inspiration for this family to build a "dome" house from a kit in the 1960's. Time and a family later, the structural integrity had deteriorated. The Owners were told that the only and best option was demolition and the construction of a "standard" New England Colonial home. A careful project analysis suggested that a new dome could be designed and erected to support the original dome. Project Management provided a triple win solution: preservation, time and costs savings with the bonus of a beautiful result.
