ARCHITECT-CLIENT EXPERIENCE




As an architect, we basically solve problems through the services we offer, our client are very important to us and precious, despite the that fact, we would not compromise our basic objectives in providing our services, at gracefield studio, we desire to draw out all our client design brief, we gather all required information, draw out our preliminary sketches for our client to review, if it actually serve them right, but we prefer that our client to be patient and to be one that desire standard building.
 Don’t be surprise to meet client that would want to teach you your profession, the truth is that you need to sometimes forget your qualifications, while you engage in a contract with some client, because they know what they want, than you think you do, don’t just prescribe like a medical doctor would prescribe a drug, sometimes you hear them say “I want a building like that but better or more beautiful”. some client might tell you just design, without allowing you to carry out proper site analysis, We take our procedures frankly we would not neglect basic design process because of our client ignorance, we  have our integrity to protect as architect, we know our jobs better, no one can teach us our job except fellow architect, what we do in such cases is to  advice our client whatever happens, we would not engage in a building project that would tarnish our image or profession we would not be a part of a ridiculous non functional architectural design.
One of the basic need of human being is shelter, economy determines the type of shelter we are bound to erect, nevertheless the economy cannot be use to evaluate degree of beauty because we can still have very beautiful designs at low cost by just concentrating on practicality, that why we need to involve in cost management at every design stage  and contract implementation process until practical completion of project.
