The more a designer puts on paper, the more accountable the builder will be. As your expertise grows, so will the level of detail you deliver in your design book. When you provide a builder with an example of your design book, that enables him to sell your value to the client. Brad shares how CAD brings extra value to the design book. It’s important to reach out to non-competing designers through social media and other networking opportunities to find out how they’re doing things. Brad encourages designers to chase the next-level project. You perfect your process and refine it after each job by doing a project autopsy. LuAnn covers the benefits to attracting builders who want to work with you. Brad divulges the tips to attract the right builders to work with you. The bottom line is this is a relationship-driven industry! Connect with Brad!
