Notebook and laptop computers allow us to take presentations on the road. Making changes to please the client now can be done and delivered in minutes instead of days. Software can prepare perspective drawings of your projects. It's as simple as a couple of clicks of the mouse. And don't forget the possibility of giving your client a virtual walk-through of their environment long before the first nail is hammered.
Designers now hire people halfway around the world to do drawings while they sleep.
Even project management now is being done on-line. Setting up an intranet allows the entire project team, including the client, to have access to all project drawings and documents. Changes can be made quickly at the office and sent out immediately to the job site or to the client for review and approval. On-line meetings and conferences save time and resolve issues quickly, allowing the project to proceed without unnecessary delays. The time and money saved can be tremendous.
