LAYING A FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS
Two documents, the contrat and the timeline, define your building experience.
The contract lays down the requirements of the relationship and the timeline delineates the order in which the work is done. While the contract is negotiated once at the beginning of the relationship, the timeline continues to be updated and revised as the project develops.
