It’s been many months and I have been working all along. But taking all the recommended precautions all along.
Just two weeks ago, I made a site visit and the client, an owner wasn’t even there. The key was in a lockbox and I still haven’t met them. They sent such a detailed set of documents in a Dropbox account, I completed the entire report with just a few phone calls.
Not everyone can do this, but that is one way to do a consultation, entirely remote. It worked fairly well. This might be a good way to accomplish a consultation in the future. But it is not for everybody. The client did a large amount of work, especially financial reporting.
Well, I’m getting my second vaccination on Saturday. I hope. They have been running out of vaccines in Los Angeles, but I presume they can get the schedule back together in four days. In any case, I will be able to meet with clients, builders, designers, and owners and their counsel shortly after March first.
Remember, keep your records of your project. Take photographs, stay in contact with your construction team. We will get through this crisis and get back to building the California we all dream of.
