Checklist for Architects
As the great Charlie Munger says, “Aim for fewer problems.” But when building a custom home, you are often dealing with new project teams (architect, builder, interior designer, etc) that possibly have no or limited experience working together.
You also have inherently complex products that are getting manufactured for the first time (a custom home design that hasn’t been built before).
We’ve learned that a proactive approach to solving problems ahead of time, during the design phase, has multiple benefits:
1. Faster design time by getting everyone on the same page from the outset.
2. Faster build time because the plans should be more complete.
3. You, the builder, look more professional and like a wonderful project QB.
4. Happier clients because, see 1-3 above.
That’s why we created this Checklist for Architects. It helps us align the client, the architect, and our firm from the beginning, and creates a great channel of shared communication and goals.
