KEY QUOTES FROM EPISODE
- We have this visualization data, we’re working with some of the best architects, the best artists in the world, some of the best interior designers on the most incredible projects, but our clients – we haven’t given them or developed the tools that they need to see their project. And so that was really the charge was to say, how can we use visual data from our architects and show our clients?
- Decisions that are made early in the process are really inexpensive. Decisions late at four-way are really expensive.
- At the end of the day, bringing clients into our office and sitting down and talking through things and seeing real emotion and then going on site and actually talking with our craftsmen and subcontractors that we work with and talking through how we’re going to execute a detail or maybe it’s a beam connection or all of those things. Those are irreplaceable.
