    Hi Jenny,

    I had a question with product coming in. How do you communicate with the contractor what has come in? Is it kept on-site? If they place the order, are they responsible for checking that the product that came in is the correct style and finish? If you order something, how do you communicate that it is on-site? And with today’s procurement stuggles, who gets back order notifications and makes the call to reselect
    need be?
    thanks! 🙂

    Homework week one

    Hi all,
    I hope this is what you wanted Kat. I’m cheating a little, I’ve already done this project. I picked 3 rooms out of the house. This project was early in my career and I felt so unsure of myself and how I was presenting things and communicating with trades. So I think it will be a good learning experience for me to start again and learn how things could have been more professionally presented, which is why I am taking this class. I can show you what the rooms actually look like at the end!
