Testing Procedures

Design Expectations: All plans must clearly display the specifications set forth by Mr. and Mrs. Crumlish. The new house should satisfy the desire for a primary home in Manasquan, NJ to replace their existing summer home. The exterior appearance of the house must fit in with the surrounding environment and be aesthetically pleasing. The first floor should provide a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for entertaining and lodging guests, with a Master Suite refuge on the second floor solely for Mr. and Mrs. Crumlish. There should be ample and sensible transitions between rooms. The Master Suite should include a Master Bedroom, Master Bathroom, walk-in closet, and private balcony. The house should encompass outdoor areas for enjoying favorable weather and provide spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean as well as Fisherman’s Cove (to the rear of the house) for year-round enjoyment. The house should also have an outdoor shower as well as outdoor storage. The decision by Mr. and Mrs. Crumlish to move forward with the presented plans and construct the house is the ultimate objective of the project.

Testing procedures are as follows:
  1. Review all plans with the client. The entire design of the house should exceed the satisfaction of the client. Any discrepancies must be documented as part of the Final Evaluation and eliminated. Areas of assessment include:
    a. floor plan layout,
    b. window & door schedule,
    c. exterior elevations,
    d. interior finishes, and
    e. exterior finishes.
  2. The client, as well as immediate family and friends, should each complete a survey serious in nature providing honest feedback of the overall design of the proposed house.
  3. Following approval from the client, a Zoning Permit Application must be completed and submitted to Mr. Richard Furey, Borough of Manasquan Zoning Officer.
    a. The Zoning Permit Application must be complete and signed.
    b. A survey less than five (5) years old must be submitted.
    c. All building plans must be submitted.
  4. Following approval of the Zoning Permit Application, a Building Permit Application must be obtained through the Borough of Manasquan Building Department. If the Zoning Permit Application is denied, discrepancies must be documented as part of the Final Evaluation and eliminated.
