Hi all. Exciting to see all the "help wanted" and "looking for SP user" posts recently, I hope that means everyone is staying really busy!!
Just wanted to see if anyone would share general insight on how they typically handle their first "presentation" of work to clients when designing a custom home. In other words, how far and/or polished have you gotten your overall design when you show clients your "first draft"? Do you ever get feedback on the 1st floor before moving upstairs and/or roof? Or do you come in with a full house modeled (roof and exterior more or less). I know this might vary wildly depending on how much info the client may or may not have provided up front and the complexity of the home.
For us, we typically have a fairly well built model of the whole house (more or less) to show overall massing, with fully dimensioned floor plans for our Conceptual Review. Sometimes, we may include an annotated front elevation to show heights, but have found better detailed 3D views typically capture (and keep) the client's attention. However, I often wonder if we spend too much time modeling on the front end, even though I know that is the huge benefit of SP before we create any detailed working drawings.
Hope this makes sense! Just curious.
Thanks,
Mark
