The Client Consultation Process
The initial client consultation sets the tone for the entire project. Professional carpenters arrive prepared with a portfolio, references, and a structured questionnaire covering the client's goals, budget range, timeline preferences, and decision-making process. During the site visit, the carpenter documents existing conditions with photos and measurements, identifies potential challenges like out-of-plumb walls or inadequate structural support, and sets realistic expectations about cost and timeline before leaving.
