Don't be embarassed to put your ideas on paper. It's a concept that can with the right professional make that sketch a reality.
Your hand drawn ideas are a guide for your wants and wishes but be open to a professionals ideas to provide recommendations to design, materials and products, and money saving tips for construction details.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
1) Wants, needs, and reality.
2) What's most important your wants and needs or the budget.
3) Be budget minded and ask for options, ther are always alternatives that may equate in a new design to save time and money.
4) Don't be afraid to ask for a full concept design and request the professional to provide a phasing plan to do some of the work later, or work that can be done by the Owner within their timeframe.
