Project Week 3
Feb 3rd, 2012 by Katrina
This week our focus was on our proposal, which we presented on Thursday, February 3 at the Saint James Music Academy. We met Chris, the Operations Manager, who was there for the proposal along with Kathryn and Stephen who we met during our first visit.
What we presented…
For the presentation we described various sound proofing materials. We compared the materials (both on their own, and in combination with each other) while taking into account the projected decrease in sound transfer and the cost.

Their reaction and the next steps…
Kathryn, Steven and Chris all were very excited about our proposal. We are making great time in terms of our schedule and will be meeting Chris this coming week to buy materials. After taking in our suggestions, they did lean towards our preferred option – which was getting custom door covers to absorb the sound and sealing the gaps at the bottom edges of the door. Both parties felt that the doors were the biggest issue in terms of sound transfer, so they also added to our preferred option by requesting a solid core door for the nursery. We have tentatively set our shopping day with Chris for Thursday, February 9. The date may change depending on the day that the custom door covers will be ready for pick up.
It’s great to see that you’ve made so much progress! Congratulations!
I’m wondering what you are learning from the way your relationship with the client is developing. For example, I wonder what role your communication strategy has played in enabling you to progress?
Keep up the good work!
