WEEKLY ENTRY:  LESSONS LEARNED

The meeting I had with my clients gave insight into the architect-client relationship. HLA Inc. (Amy, Amy, Kaye) is a very easy client to work with and they make decisions easily and know exactly what they want, without being a high demand client. We presented our design for their office renovation and they had minor finish changes they wanted to see, other than that, the meeting went well. Understanding how much hand holding a client may need during the design process is important. Clients don’t always understand the process or don’t know what they want, but by watching my boss interact with clients, I have learned that it’s best to just keep good communication and explain your thought process to them at each step.
