An essential start to understanding the project opportunities and client goals is meeting with the client at the project site. Additionally, she will coordinate the production of the project documents representing the client’s interests, code requirements, and good design.
With each project, clients are encouraged to build healthier environments and thoughtfully employ natural resources for sustainability within the ecological site along with green building designs that meet a client’s goals and values.
