WEEKLY REFLECTION

While on our site visit on Tuesday, I learned from one of the current employees at the firm that over time projects tend to grow in scope. Although we are only renovating the upper floor of this residence, we took fairly detailed dimensions and measurements for the entire house, not only for creating the 3D model later on, but because it is possible that these clients may consider renovating additional areas of their home later on. So while this site visit may have taken us about 3 hours to get all the needed dimensions, we are saving ourselves time in the future and the possibility of a second site visit by thinking ahead.
