the quoted fee. Changes to the design after approval are quoted separately before any

Final Deliverables
I should have done this sooner. I outsource the bookkeeping, printing, website and graphic design of our marketing materials. It only made sense to outsource the drafting as well.
Not the design, but the documentation and detailing of my designs. Not having to oversee drafters and CAD programs freed up my time to devote to design and serving my clients.
