Sometimes, I get a project that goes cold. For the Patton House, this was the case. The contract was signed on September the 7th, 2021. After weeks of follow-up, I was told that the builder wasn’t responding to my client, the real estate agent, so I put the project on hold. Last week I was told that the project came back alive, but it has changed slightly. After reviewing the updated CAD files, the house was 100% different. Part of my contract states that if anything changes from the initially submitted CAD drawings, it can be quoted per hour. Some clients, although not most, think that they can look at my renderings and make design changes based on what they see, and I have to make those changes as part of the original agreement. Most will come back to me with changes, knowing and expecting a fee associated, but some don’t. This client understood completely. I AM HAPPY when I get the design changed based on the rendering; it is value-added for my client.
This is a cute little house, and I love the contrast between the white and the black. Usually, I am not a fan of white and black, but in this house, it works.
