Clients continue to drive architects to design “faster, better, cheaper, greener.” Yet designers often struggle to quantify the value of their contribution to a project. The simple techniques presented will allow you to design buildings and delivery processes that maximize the architect’s value to clients while meeting your own design objectives. Incorporate these “non-design” tools into everyday practice to help you create happy clients and superior design.

   Learning objectives:

• Discuss client expectations and values, particularly as they relate to green architecture
• Develop quantifiable measures for project success and client satisfaction
• Apply quantifiable measures to build stronger client relationships and better buildings
