75 | Firm Principle #2: Simplify the Complex

Rich the Architect

The second firm principle is Simplify the Complex. This principle's basic premise is to take any project and break down into smaller, digestible parts. I give a few examples here, the first is how a project used phasing to simplify a lab renovation project I worked on for construction coordination modeling. I also go into how I break apart a typical residential project into design and approval drawings, and then simplify the fees charged to match these deliverables.
