FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I prefer to use a fixed fee system. The fee is based on the complexity and time involved in completing a project. After looking at the scope of a project, I can determine what it will take to complete and then quote a flat rate, rather than charging an hourly rate. If the project time exceeds what I anticipated, I do not charge beyond the fee quoted.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to gain an understanding of what is being requested for a project through communication with the client. Once details and expectations are established, I determine what would be involved in completing the work in order to provide a job specific quote. If I am selected for a project, I maintain regular contact with the client via phone, email, or Skype conversations, etc., to see the project through to completion.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 30 years of Architecture experience and have done residential and commercial projects. I have a career in CAD, and am proficient in SketchUp and other industry related applications. I was also a United States Drafting Champion (twice). I additionally owned a CAD business called Advanced Cadd Productions for 20 years. I have expanded my skill set to include 3D modeling and rendering services. I regularly update my skills through training courses, reading materials and online videos.
