When we got back, we arranged another meeting with the architects. We set the meeting for 9:00 Thursday. Tip: When setting up a meeting, make sure everyone knows where the meeting will be. I assumed it would be at our house. Juan Felipe assumed it would be at their office. None of the e-mail messages we sent back and forth specified where we were meeting. I'm not sure why, but when I called their office around 10:00, somebody there answered on the first ring. They got the boss on the phone, and let us know it would be at our house.
John is one of the partners in the firm. Ultimately, he is responsible for the work they do on our house. Chris is the architect that seems to be doing the bulk of the actual work.
We discussed the contract, specifically the provision about the copyright. I wanted to make sure that we can take pictures of and in our house and use them. Not a problem. In addition to talking, we walked around the house again, Chris making a rough drawing of the floor plans. We set up a time for the next day for Chris to come over with another guy and take measurements of the house. The meeting on Thursday was about an hour. Measurements on Friday took over hours.
The following Wednesday, the contract was mailed, and 10% of the estimated architect's fees were paid. We really need to get the financing figured out.
