TMB,
What I don't understand is, if the architect did the redesign recently, why all the changes ?
Where are these ideas coming from ?
If you pay the architect a retainer fee, some of the proposed modifications can be discussed over the phone, without the need for onsite visits.
Also, onsite visits can be used to discuss a variety of changes, rather than have the architect visit to discuss each and every idea, seperately.
Something just seems to be missing.
