As the Owner, you bring bring a great deal to your project: resources, knowledge, experience, needs, desires, aspirations, as well as biases..........
Every owner starts in a different place. It makes sense to assess what you already know, and establish, with your Team, the process that will help you think through the seemingly overwhelming questions about your project, such as:
- What activities do you expect to have in the project? Do you have a 'Program'? Are you ready to translate these activities into specific spaces and square footages?
- What are your design aspirations? What thought have you given to the design quality you are seeking?
- How bold do you expect to be? Do you wish to use design and technology to achieve new goals?
- How much experience do you have in design and building? Have you done this before? Were you successful or were you disappointed?
