Episode Highlights
11:34 - There are endless decisions to make. But again, if you have a good design partner, they've done this before, they understand the questions, they'll prompt you so you don't have to think of everything, they'll help lead you through that process.
14:19 - I get work because I could take prospective clients to see some of the spaces that we've already done. And oftentimes they ask to speak to our former clients without us there. And so, I would hope that most of our clients could relay really good experiences, and I think they end up being happy with the spaces that we provided for them.
15:45 - Labor costs have gone up. I don't think they're gonna go down. So, I pulled together some current ranges. And I think the other important thing to note is, it really depends on the kind of building your building. So, there's a range of different costs for lots of different buildings.
