I just got my first customer willing to pay for one of my designs. Which has caused a few dilemmas.
Last year we built our house that I designed and my husband was the General Contractor. I do have some knowledge of the construction trades and terminology.
Question 1: I would like to take some classes in order to be a better designer (not an architect) but am unsure what type of courses I should be looking for.
Question 2: I do not know how to refer to what I do, I am not an Architect, but am I a designer or is it more than that?
Question 3: As far as how to charge for home designs, landscapes or remodels i do not know where to even start ????? any suggestions here would be extremely helpful.
Question 4: If anyone has a questionnaire they would be willing to share, to give to a customer to determine what design style they would like would be very much appreciated.
Any help given in any of these areas, like I said, would be extremely appreciated.
Signed,
Newby
