- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As an architect, I take orders for design outside and inside. As well as the execution of drawings. This can be either a new house project or an extension to an existing one. Or would you like to make an update to your home. The creation of design drawings of the house according to your wishes can cost from about 0.6-0.8 dollars/1 sqft. This includes the house plan,facades on all sides and roof plan. If you need a 3D model of your project, the price starts from $ 300. about 0.4 dollars//1 sqft. This includes exterior color options 2 options. The price of construction drawings is approximately 1.2./1 sqft The price of interior design, depending on what is included in the project starts from 1.5-1.8/1 sqft Before work starts, the payment is about $ 300 for small projects. The price of my first visit includes a price quote and is also included in the total cost of the work. My small company also performs interior and exterior painting, floor repair and other works, including comprehensive repairs. My price for painting the Walls, Trim and Doors is about 1.0-1.2 dollar / 1 sqft. My price for painting the Ceiling is about 0.8 dollar / sqft. This is an estimated price that will depend on the total area of work and type of work. If the total area of work is more than 1000 sqft then there may be a certain discount. The price may be a little more if there is a repainting of a different color and or a little less if the painting will be the same color.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After approval of the preliminary total cost of the work, I can come to the customer to discuss the details. To start working on a project, there is a fairly detailed description of a client’s wishes in an e-mail or in answers to clarifying questions. If the client agrees with the preliminary price, then can schedule a meeting to approve the final task and the price as well as discuss the details. Typically, if you need to buy paint, then there is an advance payment for the purchase of paint, depending on the amount of work. Before that, when i meeting with the client, details and wishes for the forthcoming work are specified.As soon as the details are agreed and the time for the beginning of the work, we begin. After the completion of the work. If the work is large and involves separate stages, then payment can be made for the completion of large parts of the work.After the work is done, the acceptance and elimination of the comments occur, if they arise. Next final payment
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my engineering education more than 20 years ago in Russia. For more than 15 years I have been working on my own projects in Russia. This included works on both the renovation of buildings and new construction. After moving to USA, I began working with several construction companies and contractors in Florida. The companies I cooperate with provide training and provide the opportunity to carry out various projects.
