Pro tips for avoiding costly project mistakes
DESIGNERS CAN play a crucial role in preventing
oversights on a jobsite, and it all starts by setting
the expectations at the fi rst client meeting.
When a client hires a designer for a project, they
are not only looking for guidance and advice on
the aesthetics of the space, but they also look to
their designers to be an advocate for the project.
Th is involves orchestrating the many moving
pieces and trades involved on a jobsite. But in
that controlled chaos, mistakes can happen. Here
are some strategies for designers to avoid common
pitfalls in projects to create beautiful spaces
and happy clients.
BUDGET & PLAN WITH INTENTION
At the fi rst meeting, a scope of work is normally
discussed. But the budget discussion is one of the
most, if not the most, imperative conversation
to have at the beginning. Designers have the ability to design to a budget,
which provides a higher percentage of that project coming to fruition.
Knowing how much a client is willing to invest and advising them to include
a contingency for unexpected costs is the fi rst step in avoiding costly
mistakes. In addition to budget, designers must understand the entire scope
of the project and materials needed, as well as defi ning the priorities and
deciding which aspects are non-negotiable. Spending time understanding
the client's goals, style preferences and budget will avoid miscommunications,
which can lead to costly revisions later.
" Knowing how much a client
is willing to invest and advising
them to include a contingency for
unexpected costs is the first step
in avoiding costly mistakes. "
