Space planning and room layouts and creative red-lining – Colour perspectives and Computer 3D model (Photo shop) details to describe elements within the home
Structural assessment and design to make sure the ``bones`` of the home are right, because one can spend a great deal of money covering up structural mistakes OR fix the structure, make sure the bone structure of the home is good and then the detail elements will fit.
Examples and details at a live presentation for your approval...and to make sure we did our homework correctly.

Project Management
The Project Manager:
1. Reviews the plans with the General Contractor and often with the Sub-Trades to ensure adherence to the design and the quality of installation.
2. Attends the jobsite regularly and frequently and deals with site problems and conditions.
3. As necessary the Project Manager will submit proposals to rectify site situations that would interfere with a perfect job.
4. Keeps track of progress to ensure it meets the timeline developed for the Project.
5. Tracks costs and negotiates on the clients behalf for prices submitted by the GC and Sub-Trades for extras and additions.
6. Ensure that all changes and additions are covered by a written change order, and approved by the Client.
7. Provides constant feedback to the Client
Unless the "bones" are right in any space, the home will always lack in something. Architectural and structural elements create the perfect background to which refined details will be the art pictured by the client.???
