EOC Week 8-Challenges of Classroom vs Real World

The challenges that we are facing is the probability of missing a vital piece to the design or the client needs. There might be something that I need to include or may have overlooked which could cost our company money. In a similar project as the Interior Designer you must budget for all the different phases of the project from the beginning to end. The TBC is what to be done and how much it is to cost.
If the budget is really off such as not including the proper amount of construction cost or remodel the client may not expect to pay for something that they were not aware of. There could also be the cost of if you have agreed to be paid hourly or a set fee,  there could be times that unexpected time lines come into play and either could make more money on a project or lose money for mistakes that have occurred.

Week 6 EOC/Professional Sales Presentation

As a creative Interior Design firm we have the ability to design a space that will truly appeal to the modern bachelor pad. As we design the space and finalize the project a good idea would be to visit the the Veer Towers and film our own version of a virtual tour and let the client see a before and after of our space.  There are some clients that would benefit from visually seeing the actual finishes and design that we would apply in the space.
Also another idea would be to approach a local casino with marketing brochures on special event night such as UFC nights and try to market to our client. Today the modern bachelor attends those kind of sporting events and also many celebrities attend both local and out of town.

Week 5/ Midterm

Kase Interiors: I feel that as a group did accomplish a tremendous amount of work that was expected for our project. We were given various expectations and duties that needed to be met and we did that.  We delegated tasks and each of us worked as a group to meet our goal.  We did come across a problem which was a better execution of our project, we need to identify “continuing growth of project scope” We all have the potential to give amazing presentations if we are clear “Define the specific activities that need to be performed for each work package in order to accomplish the project objective”-We are a talented group of individuals that can step up and deliver an amazing presentation.

4 Interior Design-they gave an amazing visual presentation and really marketed the project well. I had a clear understanding of their design direction and how they feel about the project. Their presentation was less words more pictures on how the project will move forward. In our project I think we needed to use more “System Design-several alternative conceptual designs that describe input, processing, output, hardware, software, and the database at a high level. Each of these is evaluated, and the best one is selected for further design and development” I feel that I am gaining a better understanding of what is expected!
