1. In order to maximize efficiency and minimize waste in expensive, valuable materials, we have laid out the pieces of our structure so that they are nested and also possible to cut down into smaller pieces (this is in the event that we cannot CNC the arches and need to go to wood shop; being able to cut down each sheet into smaller segments will make it more easily divisible among group members as well as easier to cut with tools in the wood shop.
2. Each arch is segmented into smaller pieces that make it possible to transport what will be a large structure very easily, as well as giving us a simple way to assemble these precisely measured arches on site with minimal effort.
3. As we have carefully planned and researched materials, we were able to efficiently plan what we needed, what we could do without, and how much of everything we needed, accounting for the inevitable portion that will be wasted (i.e. rough lumber will not be entirely usable because of the losses during lumber prep)
4. We have devised a schedule that carefully organizes who is doing what on each day, as well as goals for each day so that we may track our progress and ensure that we do not fall behind.
5. By labelling each piece in a systematic way, we can ensure that our on-site installation will be efficient and relatively free of confusion, as the labels will not be removed until the entire structure is built and installed on site.
