General contractors select and oversee the various subcontractors who’ll be involved in the build stage of your design – electricians, plumbers and cabinetmakers, for example.

Have you ever gone to a store and noticed a small tray or dish next to the cash register where people can leave their pennies or other change if they don’t want them? This tray is generally put in place so that other customers can take a penny should they want to avoid breaking a larger denomination coin or bill … or to help architectural associates make up the difference between what they owe and what they can pay.

I’m not going to lie, there were a lot of questions surrounding the changes to this year’s Life of an Architect Playhouse Design Competition. After I introduced everyone to my awesome new collaboration with Houzz and the American Institute of Architects, there were a number of folks that seemed perplexed by the changes and told me “privately” that they didn’t really understand what was happening.
