Mixed-Use
Challenge
Carrier Johnson + Culture faced the challenge of efficiently managing construction administration for a high-profile, fast-paced mixed-use project at 24th & Market. The complexity of the project and volume of field questions required a reliable partner who could seamlessly extend their internal capacity, maintain continuity from the documentation phase, and deliver rapid, coordinated responses to emerging site conditions and design discrepancies.
Results
By extending an already established collaboration into construction administration, Carrier Johnson + Culture and Blend maintained exceptional responsiveness and accuracy throughout the CA phase. That continuity minimized friction between documentation and field conditions, provided a robust feedback loop, and enabled the project to sustain its schedule and quality standards.
Key Product
CA Support
"Because we'd already worked through the drawings, we understood the design intent before the first RFI arrived. That continuity was what made remote CA actually work — 400 RFIs supported, 9 ASIs prepared, with minimal back-and-forth."
About Carrier Johnson + Culture
Carrier Johnson + Culture is an international architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and planning firm founded in 1977. With over 45 years of worldwide experience, they specialize in individualized solutions for the built environment.The Challenge
Carrier Johnson + Culture needed a reliable extension of their team for construction administration on 24th & Market, a fast-moving mixed-use project in Seattle with high RFI volume and demanding timelines. Having already worked with Blend during the documentation phase, preserving that continuity into CA was essential. Familiarity with the drawings, design intent, and project history meant faster responses, fewer clarification cycles, and smoother coordination between field conditions and the architectural record.
The Solution
Blend provided targeted CA support centered on RFI sketch responses, ASI preparation, submittal reviews, and shop drawing coordination, all delivered remotely with near-daily communication. Because the team was already embedded in the project's documentation history, they could produce accurate supporting materials quickly, track changes consistently, and reduce back-and-forth between the job site and the design team.
The Results
With approximately 400 RFIs supported, 9 ASIs prepared, Blend helped Carrier Johnson + Culture maintain momentum, resolve field discrepancies efficiently, and keep a clear, traceable record of changes from start to finish.
