This exam is all about establishing a business, laws, ethics, contracts, and business structure. The moment a client signs that contract, you now have a project. Think: Investigation (not design).

Successful businesses must perform certain tasks and techniques consistently in order to be successful. When we present our initial schematic designs to our client, we are selling. If they want to hire us, they’ll send us a check with a signed contract, right? One of those tasks is “sales” No sales.

There was "design assist" for the facades and an envelope consultant who did quality control of our detailing. Ah yes, and all that very contemporary sounding stuff was "fast tracked" in spite of production via the age old techniques of T-squares, ink on vellum and freehand renderings. Just the principals and the hired architects.
