We practice under legal contracts requiring us to meet very high standards and provide services putting us at risk. Relative to the other expenses of a small firm, professional liability insurance is down right expensive… until you need it. Oh… by the way, our recent liability scare was caused by a residential project.

To complete the development of a standard residential additions and alterations project, it takes several months of focus and dedication. Most sole proprietors and small firms I know, struggle to meet the minimum requirements of operation. As an Advisor, the contracts are direct between the owner and contractor.

Our job as small firm architects is not only to design great buildings or to prepare construction documents, which become the legal contract between owner and contractor. Our clients have big dreams, little idea of how to achieve their goals and often carry unrealistic expectations regarding schedule and budget.

For example, as a firm with only two people, Mike assumes the role of the lead designer, draftsman, receptionist, custodian of the building he owns and runs his practice from, and so on. When you start getting more clients for your business, you’ll find yourself working at all times of the day. Time management will be difficult.

As residential architects specializing in additions and alterations, we had often suffered through the pain of negotiation and contract revision initiated by a client’s attorney. Other times, prospective clients just froze in fear of signing a scary looking legal agreement.
