      Thanks Enoch,

      do you think that regardless of what I think they may think, I should send a follow-up mailing to the potential clients I met on March 11, sending them a report to help them with their soul searching, another report and a couple of chocolate bars?

      Since they mentioned they need to figure out a few things and be more specific about the scope of their project I was wondering if the the report: How to prepare for your Design Project, and the idea of the design brief could be helpful to them, alongwith a report about the fact that competitive bidding may be advantageous in the end, as it implies more detailed drawings and control.

      What do you think? A good idea to send this stuff along?

      Thanks,

      Umberto

        I truly believe that there is no project, however simple and basic it may be, that doesn’t lend itself to optional and different outcomes….so, even if there may not be zoning or building code issues, the very nature of the design process can suggest options (i.e. if you are only changing a door…what kind of door? what kind of hardware? Pros and cons of different doors…doors with glass or with/out?…cost implications of one versus another, you see?) – Even if you know they are going to hire you, show professionalism and true intent in making the experience the best possible for both…and yes, absolutely, this is the best testing ground for the full working relationship ahead of you.
