Are you making enough to finish each month with a profit? When we present our initial schematic designs to our client, we are selling. When I present a product or service to a prospective client, I am presenting them with something that will improve their lives. Qualify the Client. Making Money is Good.

Rarely does our office take on a project where the clients want to cut out the construction administration portion of our jobs. This is the time when the clients get to see the house evolve and come to life – sometimes it becomes apparent that they might not have understood the drawings as thoroughly as was believed.
