INTRODUCTION
J S A
JOHN SANDAY ASSOCIATES PVT. LTD (JSA) formerly known as John Sanday Consultants Pvt. Ltd. was founded in 1985 to meet the needs of appropriate design for construction in Nepal. The company’s conservation vision was born out of John Sanday’s long‐standing involvement with the conservation and repair of Nepal's traditional and historic architecture. The vision broadened to encompass architectural design, seismic engineering and maintenance projects under James Goodman as Managing Director.
JSA, a Nepalese registered company with foreign and local partners, incorporates a team of both Nepalese and expatriate architects and engineers dedicated to the creation and maintenance of a harmonious environment.
Throughout the fast changing region of South Asia there is a growing awareness for the urgent need to conserve or reclaim environmental quality and cultural identity while still moving towards national development. JSA views each project in its full social, environmental and cultural context. Whether addressing the needs of urban commercial clients, rural institutional development or cultural heritage conservation, JSA’s approach is to frame the client’s requirements within the larger perspective before individual solutions are developed.
ARCHITECTURAL: Design and supervision of new buildings, according to western codes and adhering to local bye‐laws. JSA has a proven track record in problem analysis, design of solutions, communication and implementation.
CULTURAL HERITAGE CONSERVATION: Conservation of the built Heritage and Community planning in urban or rural environment.
ENGINEERING: Seismic analysis of structure retrofits design and construction.
CONSTRUCTION/ MAINTENANCE: JSA maintains in‐house construction and maintenance capability.
In summary, JSA can offer the full services of an architectural, engineering and cultural heritage conservation practice which will undertake projects from design inception through to building completion; services include all aspects of engineering (including seismic specialization), seismic as well as all the stages of project development for cultural heritage activities. Our clients range from governments, businesses and international agencies to private individuals.

JOHN SANDAY ASSOCIATES ‐ THE FIRM
C O M P A N Y P R O F I L E
JOHN SANDAY ASSOCIATES is a well‐established multi‐disciplinary team of foreign and local professionals with many years of working experience in Nepal and Asia. The team consists of architects, engineers and community planners, each with their own specialties encompassing modern, traditional, landscape or interior design, as well as architectural conservation, seismic engineering, and participatory planning techniques. These skills can be augmented by experienced national and international consultants as JSA has close affiliations with specialists in Cambodia, India, Yugoslavia, Italy, France and the USA and UK through its international network.
Design Program
It is our practice to make a carefully determined program brief in consort with the client. We would suggest that after nomination as Architect we would review the program and the site conditions closely with the client. JSA is equipped and proficient with design and communication by in‐house email and computerized systems.
Structural Design
Besides the above seismic concerns the desires for economy maximizing spans and adhering to appropriate codes and standards determine our structural design. In general because the National Building Code of Nepal is in process of finalization all structural design work is done as per the National Building Code of India with incorporation of British and American standards.
Seismic Design
Nepal has a seismically sensitive environment and therefore all architectural designs and building activity should be conducted with strict adherence to prevailing seismic principles as set by the National Building Code of India.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK STAGE ACTIVITIES WITH QUALITY ASSURANCE
The following notes describe in brief are the principal activity, and responsibilities of JSA within the above named stages with each full scale building project
A: FEASIBILITY
The Architect will meet with the client to thoroughly understand both the overall vision that the client holds with regard to the project and the specific character and scope of the activities listed in the client’s brief. JSA reviews the functional activities elaborated in the brief as to their required spaces and conditions. With an initial site visit and study the Architect will review the general feasibility of the site of the approximate required building area and its functional requirements. With a positive assessment of the project feasibility and discussion of such with the client the Architect will convince its full Design Team to determine project targets and too refine the schedule of design. Thereafter the team will assess the site in detail. Each site offers opportunities and constraints which must be well understood from the beginning. They follow the above list and include as well the surrounding neighbor’s character of the neighborhood and desired image and accessibility of the project. The project sometimes includes the preparation of a topographical survey, obtaining geo‐technical information checking main utility connection feasibility and zoning or other regulations which control the site. From the room area requirements, augmented to account for assumed wall and circulation area requirements, plus determination of the approximate level of finish quality required by the client and building type JSA prepares a preliminary budget.
B: SKETCH SCHEME
Based on the inception studies JSA and client together adapt the Program Brief. In consultation with the client JSA will prepare a series of sketch schemes following the client’s brief exploring a series of different possibilities appropriate to the client’s requirements and the site. JSA endeavors to make the design options as broad as possible at this stage to elicit ideas that might not yet have arisen within the client’s project vision. Each will be laid out on the site with building shape character structural type and services indicated. Each site offers opportunities and constraints. The fit with the site will be clearly indicated in each option. Each project can be approached from different starting points and designed with different client priorities in mind. With the client’s reactions and Preferences thus clarified the conclusion of the sketch scheme stage should definitively determine the desired building character shape location on site structure.
C O M P A N Y P R O F I L E
J S A
C: FINAL PROJECT SCHEME
Following the instructions from the client JSA will draw up a more detailed scheme based on the above discussions and prepare budget estimates for final approval JSA will refine the sketch scheme into the final project design. The plans will finalized building sections prepared and structural systems determined Seismic factors will be identified and used to guide the structural and building footprint design as appropriate to the building type the Kathmandu Valley seismic vulnerability and the particular seismic properties of the selected site. The environmental it will be elaborated as to site access for public and service needs outdoor activity spaces viewing opportunities electrical, sanitary and mechanical systems shelter from undesirable local elements and passive technology opportunities based on solar wind water or other natural elements. The building exterior elevations will finalize in basic form roof, window and door types. The elected character or metaphor behind the appearance will be refined.
D: PREPARATION OF WORKING DRAWINGS AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
After receiving the client’s formal and final approval of the project design JSA will prepare detailed working drawings using AutoCAD and hand drawn design techniques as appropriate to the situation or the aspect of the project consulting with engineers and other specialist consultants as required. Prepare detailed specifications draw up a bill of quantities and prepare the necessary contract documents for full tendering procedures. During this period JSA will keep the client fully informed on the work plan and the likely building costs.
E: TENDERING PROCEDURES
Following the client’s instructions JSA will advise as necessary on the selection of prospective building contractors and specialist sub‐contractors; supervise the distribution of tender documents; assess the bids and make recommendation to the client for the selection of the main contractor. JSA will offer support to the client if requested in their negotiation with the nominated contractor on the terms of the contract. JSA will draw up any requested and required changes to the contract document between the client and the contractor for signature. JSA will establish the terms of reference for the work to commence on site.
F: SITE SUPERVISION
Under the terms of the contract JSA will arrange a full time representative on the site and ensure regular site visits are made by senior representatives of the team to check on the quality of the work and the adherence to the agreed work schedule.
C O M P A N Y P R O F I L E
J S A
JSA will certify the payments to the contractor and review with the client all potential variations to the contract in terms of design conditions of construction budget and schedule of completion.
G: PROJECT COMPLETION
JSA will on behalf of the client ensure that the work has been carried out according to the terms of the contract and certify the practical completion data and arrange for the project to be handed over to the client. During the maintenance period JSA will check out all defects for which the contractor is liable and make sure that they are made good. On completion of the maintenance period JSA will supervise the checking of the final project account and certify it for payment.
JSA brings their design and supervision skills, honed over seventeen year of working as one of the leading architectural firms in Nepal to the joint venture. (See JSA Company Statement) JSA has good track records on quality cost control and time‐lines. Our approach includes the following: Design and Materials Quality is reviewed and enlisted from the start by the practice of reviewing the low and offering the medium and top quality material options. In key functional dimensions such as structure, drainage and electrical supply we try to insist on the best design solution whether it is most economical or not. Out experienced supervision team builds the critical quality determination points (such as water content of timber or through checking of structural and plumbing elements before closing team over) into the supervision schedule as hot spots to be most closely watched. Cost Estimation JSA’s initial cost estimates based on working drawings stage of development are accurate to within 10%. We recommend keeping 10% contingency for unforeseen opportunities for improvement that may arise during construction and for the occasional quantity underestimation. We help the owner to keep close track of requested and approved changes so that they do not mount up unexpectedly. Schedules In order to keep to our overall time schedules we maximize the overlap of activities and fast track the work in the initial stages of construction to allow for delay by surprises or changes in the later stages. We always accord for labor force erosion during holiday periods. We keep our subcontractors on a tight leash and plan to avoid conflict in their schedules, as it is not only detrimental to the work but also provides opportunity for attempting justification for being behind schedule.
