Show Highlights:

  • Brad and LuAnn discuss the importance of a design book.
  • The more a designer puts on paper, the more accountable the builder will be.
  • As your expertise grows, so will the level of detail you deliver in your design book.
  • When you provide a builder with an example of your design book, that enables him to sell your value to the client.
  • Brad shares how CAD brings extra value to the design book.
  • It’s important to reach out to non-competing designers through social media and other networking opportunities to find out how they’re doing things.
  • Brad encourages designers to chase the next-level project. You perfect your process and refine it after each job by doing a project autopsy.
  • LuAnn covers the benefits to attracting builders who want to work with you.
  • Brad divulges the tips to attract the right builders to work with you.
  • The bottom line is this is a relationship-driven industry!
