This allows us to educate future clients on what is important to us, how we work, what we are working on, what we’ve recently completed, what is available, etc. We did not sell the house from the open house, but we did secure 4 other jobs from clients who attended that open house. With clients? Autocad and Sketchup.

Your Interns Could Be Your Future Clients. What if you viewed your junior staff as one day they might be your future client? If your letting people work in your office and get a “behind the scenes” look at how you run your business, viewing them as a future client makes a lot of sense then seeing them as anything else.

It was very interesting that many of them had similar questions to those I receive every day from the licensed architects who follow this blog. Others wanted to know about how to start their own firms. Should non-architects be permitted to use the term “architect”? Some were concerned about finding a job.

We completed the permit drawings a week ago and successfully acquired the permit before the end of September. So far, this project and the client have been terrific. I really enjoy reading your blog and you do great design work. My comment, however, pertains to the intersection of BIM use and client billing.

With no clients and no money, we launched the firm as a sole proprietorship; Annmarie McCarthy, Architect. Slowly, we grew the firm and in 2002, with my license in hand, we incorporated as McCarthy LePage Architects, PC. We knew from day one that we needed a way to differentiate ourselves from the many other local firms.

There is no doubt that our clients love them, but that’s not the only reason why we build them. Clients respond to these models in a very different way than when we just show them 3-dimensional computer images of their projects. Robert Rockefeller Bob, my first post on your blog. I ama big fan of your blog and your work.

I tell clients that we could design a successful project with nothing more than a scope of work and site plan. This is true, but it is only after listening to our clients hopes, needs and dreams that we can take each project to its pinnacle. The quickest way to an unhappy client is to design a project beyond their budget.
