Project Week 4
Feb 10th, 2012 by Katrina
Our first group meeting after the proposal presentation took place on Monday of this week. With our project perfectly on schedule (outlined in Project Week 2), a successful proposal, and an enthusiastic response from SJMA, we were ready to jump into buying materials and organizing installation. With everything going so well we presumably ran into a slight hitch..
We initially thought, through some miscommunication, that the ATS Acoustic panels were manufactured and available for pick up in the Lower Mainland. It turns out that the panels would have to be manufactured and shipped from Illinois, adding shipping costs and restrictions on time to install the panels. We paused for a while to think about our next steps, with the first being to notify Kathryn.
This situation could have been a definite game changer, in that we would re-look that portion of the proposal. In actually, Kathryn quickly gave us the ‘ok’ to continue with the order despite the miscommunication. Its evident that during the span of the project, working with SJMA has definitely been about having a positive outlook and cooperation. Even though we did miss a detail, overall we have worked to keep our client in mind and involved with the project.
It looks like you have developed a successful relationship with the client – not always easy to achieve and, ultimately, the key to project success! Congratulations on figuring this out.
Let me know if I can help expedite material procurement.
Regards,
SN
