if you are building or renovating than taking action on what you learn in this short training video will be the most valuable thing you do for years. That is a big statement, but I can say that because it will help you avoid the number one most costly mistake people make when doing a lighting project. Have you ever heard the term on time and on budget? If not, this concept is an important one on time and on budget is a term used in all big projects, from construction toe I t. To building roads. All projects are trying to meet their target. The term refers to completing a project within the plan timeframe and within the plan to budget many times. This does not happen. And for your project, this is bad news. There are many reasons projects might not come in on time and on budget, but by far the number One reason is lack of planning in the early phases. Here is the thing. At some point during your lighting project, you are going to discover a way to make your lighting system better. That is a given. It always happens. It could be a design change, it could be a fixture in a better place. It could be the layout of a room. It might be a design that saves you money or dramatically improves the function of the spaces. But sooner or later you're going to want to make a change. And when shortcuts are taken early on and people rushing to the design phase, then people do not discover all the options they had or what they really wanted until the ceiling has been installed without getting a full initial project analysis conducted before the builder gets on site, project owners regularly short changed their design. Late discovery of your real needs or options leaves you crying. If only I had known. That is why we created the initial project analysis. There are five phases during a project when changes could be made. Number one Initial Project Analysis Number two Concept Design number three Design development number four Contract Management number five Construction Documentation Face. If you discover better options early, then you can make the changes effortlessly. Make your discoveries late and you pay exponentially more or worse, live with a building where you settled for a lesser option. Here is an indication of how costs change the later you make changes. One. Initial project analysis. A Dollar, two counts of design, $3. Three Design development, $15.4 Contract management, $15 five. Construction documentation face $50 A picture tells 1000 words With an initial project analysis, you will never have to utter those tragic words. If only I had known. Take a look at this. Graph. Time is on the bottom on the X axis. As time progresses, the opportunity to make changes decrease. This is common sense. It is a lot easier to change the location of a concrete footing before it has been placed in the ground. Now this graph represents the relative cost to make a change. As you can see, as time progresses, changes get increasingly more expensive. The best time to make a change is at the beginning of a project. This is why a thorough initial project analysis should be your first step. As Abraham Lincoln said, if I had nine hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the 1st 6 sharpening my axe. Old Abe Lincoln understood that proper preparation early on can save a lot of time and effort in the long run or put into common monitor terms. Measure twice and cut. Once. When we overlay these two charts, you can see that at the beginning of a project, the opportunity for change is greatest, and the cost to make changes is least. It is at this point in the process that we want to thoroughly explore all of your options. This is why a proper initial project analysis saves time and money. You may be asking, Do I need an initial project analysis? Here's a quick test to find out. Take out a pen and paper and give yourself a score for each of the following questions out of 10. How clear are you on exactly what you need out of 10? How aware are you? Of all the lighting options available for your project out of 10? How confident are you that you are aware of all the legal requirements out of 10? How will wear you of the process you will need to have in place to get the project completed on time and on budget out of 10? How confident are you that your budget will achieve your needs? Don't worry about not being able to answer these questions yet. The initial project analysis will allow us to fill in the gaps and get you ready to move to the design phase. The first step you will need to complete is the initial project analysis. We designed this process a few years ago because we saw a huge issue in the construction industry of people starting design and construction. Before they had fully done the research and homework, we would see many building projects going over time and over budget. The consequence of inadequate upfront research of needs and options is like building a house on bad foundations. The foundations are the most important part of the whole building because everything is built on top. It's very expensive to change the foundations once you've started to build on top of them. But it's very easy to change them if they are simply lines on a plan. This is what makes us different. We spend more time on the research than most other firms who rushed their clients into the design face. We take a different approach. In fact, we will only work with clients who are prepared to do the initial project analysis properly. We will not rush this step. It only causes cost over runs later if we take shortcuts and don't establish solid foundations. The initial project analysis is the most important step because it lays the foundation for a successful lighting project. Once complete, the valuable insights you gain from this first face can be used by us or any other lighting designer and will ultimately produce a better result for you. Can I save money by not paying for an initial project analysis? Sure, you could skip this step or meet with someone who gives you a few ideas for free before rushing you into the design face. Answer not investing the time A full initial project analysis in depth can be the most expensive decision you make during your project.
