James Heimler, Architect, Inc.

10/17/2023

I am working with MetLife Insurance. Their take on how many hours of talking to do an architectural project might be limited to 1 hour every 2 weeks assisting clients on their projects. I believe I also need more communication with my clients on top of all consultants, government, staff, product manufacture’s reps, other architects, IT staff, business consultants, and others. Please email mail me your thoughts on the average number of hours that go into doing a project. [email protected]. You can post them also. Please note the number of projects you work on at any one time and the average number of hours per week per job. Thank you for all your assistance.
