Initial Information

As part of the initial discussion with a new client, I discuss the scope of work and program; budget and timetable; my services and fee structure; and necessary steps that each of us may consider to meet our objectives. These include the contract for services; measurement of existing conditions, and information with regard to the preferences of each client.

Related Professionals

Projects often involve other professionals and specialists who provide services prior to and during construction. These include structural engineering, kitchen and bath design, audio-visual and interior design. I also work with specialists that a client has selected. I coordinate their efforts with the contractor so that there is a consistency in the work.

For larger projects and those that have an aggressive timetable, I collaborate with other architects while maintaining responsibility for the project.
