Orchestrating Remodeling

 After the sale of a project, I am often asked what my role is in the remodeling project.  Since I typically do none of the physical labor, where do I fit in?  I compare my role to the conductor of an orchestra.  Like an orchestra has a complex arrangement of various instruments that combine to produce beautiful music, the home has a complex set of components that must work together as a whole.  After 30 years of remodeling I realize my limits in knowledge of all the various aspects of construction.  What I do have is an overall vision and a team of ADR designers, project managers, carpenters and associated professional suppliers and subcontractors to fill in the gaps of my knowledge.  Like an orchestra, when we all work together, something beautiful is the result.
