Listen "Episode 51: Specify now so you don't defer decisions later"
Episode Synopsis
This past week I had to cancel a project with a client due to site and existing restrictions due to the layout of the home. It's never a good conversation to have, but I cover how being honest with a client is always the best approach. Then I came across a video from another architect, Eric Reinholdt of 30X40 Design Workshop, where he states that specifying or drawing an element now prevents deferring to someone making a decision for you later in a project. I expand on this by giving two project examples where this statement holds true. (16:38)
