How many revisions do you guys give your clients? I offer two, and there is no confusion when they sign their contract or our first meeting. Every architect I work with seems to think they make the rules and get mad when they can't make more comments on a completed scene.
A client made 480 comments on four images over two iterations (already way over average). After the second iteration, I told her that I was rendering high-resolution finals and would take a day or two. She returned when I delivered the finals, saying we needed to work on lighting. I said sure, I'd unlock the images for more commenting and quote her what it'd take. She ranted about the incomplete project, and she hired me to have a completed project.
These already became a set of technical images, as if they were being used as construction drawings. I mean, in 90% of the comments, who would care? I allowed her to comment. I was pretty much hands-off and just did what she told me. I know the lighting is off, but I wouldn't dare do anything she didn't direct me to do.
At what point did an architect become more of a CAD tech and less of a designer? These are renderings and not construction drawings. Why are they so technical? This hasn't always been the case. It was the designer designed and the technical guys figured out of to make it work.
What are your thoughts?
