My goal is to have you feel like you’re part of the team: informed of all decisions and progress. This starts with our first meeting, talking about what you would like to do and giving you the opportunity to find out about me and ask any questions about any phase of the project. When we have determined what you would like to do I create several choices for how this can be achieved. We discuss the merits of each option and then go with the one that is best suited to your vision.
With the building component I run through the various phases, what to expect in the sequencing of demolition, reconstruction, any sub trade participation, finishing, and clean up. Depending on your desires I can talk with you at the end or beginning of the day. I can give you a call in the evening and go over the activities of the day and what is planned for tomorrow. I have clients that live off the island and for them I take pictures with a brief overview of the activity and then send these off every 2-3 days. This ensures that they can provide input and feel involved.
During the process there are many decisions to be made. Whenever possible I will offer my suggestions on the benefits of various materials, products, fixtures, finishes. This will enable you to make the choices that are best suited to your project and budget. I like to think of this as a team effort where you have the opportunity to be an integral part of the decision making process.
