Sullivan Design Options

[glorybound]

Another small project that kind of dropped in this week. The builder called me saying that the owners stopped the project until they could see some alternate design options on the front of their house. I didn't really want, or need the work for that matter, so I gave a rather high price. For this one, I sent them 3 options with the 4th option as a bonus. This is the 4th option.

I have been sticking to my guns on prices and for jobs I don't want, I have been quoting higher and for the ones I want, I am willing to drop 5-10%. So far, it's working. I am also sending proposals with extra's that they might want and that has been working, too. Usually, they want 1 view, but with package 2, they might get 2 extra views for a little increase in price.

Nice render!

Also great to hear about the business. It seems like a great position to be slightly out of reach of a lot of people - often cheap jobs end up the messiest. If people don't have a financial stake in the work you're doing they don't respect the process properly and it ends up taking more time than the cost is worth.

The business side is pretty fun, once you start to see your efforts paying off.
