Description

How many times have you, as a Designer,  felt like you were caught between your client and the Contractor? You know the kinds of situations where you have created a floor plan for space, only to find, on your next visit to the site, that a wall has been moved... So, what happens when this happens? Listen in now, to find out. Judith Neary and Corey Klassen have some terrific insights and advice for you around this subject, on today's Design Biz Live feature. On today's show, Corey and Judith will be talking about how to manage not being the Project Manager. The diversity of the Design Industry is your strength, but sometimes also your weakness, as a Designer, so listen in, as we pick this topic apart a bit and go through the nuances of it, so that you can find out how to avoid being in this kind of situation. Show highlights: The definition of Project Management. Judith's concept of the three legs of the stool. The challenge that Corey faced recently, around having to manage a project. The role of the General Contractor, as compared with that of an Architect, or a Designer. The different elements that need to be pulled together, to create cohesion in a project. What a really good Project Manager looks like. Where Designers tend to fall down in a project. What the initial Sales Process should cover. Judith's way of preventing the pain factor in a project. Educating the client about the costs of Project Management. When to say 'no' to a project.
