Every firm, with any experience, has many of these processes already in place. They may be documented as formal systems or they may just be a general understanding of “how we do it here”.

Whether you have it documented or not, you most likely follow a routine for each project you deliver.

The most successful projects though are the ones where we fully understand the people living and working within the architecture we design.

When we present our initial schematic designs to our client, we are selling. I send this document by email within days of our meeting. I then prepare a printed proposal package, which includes a firm-branded folder containing a cover letter, our proposal, a list of references, another business card and several project sheets.
