https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/CAisNotanOption.png ()Construction Administration for Architects is NOT an Option A very popular topic around EntreArchitect is the role of the architect in the construction phase.  The number of firms providing architecture services and forfeiting Construction Administration is surprising. One member of The EntreArchitect Community recently shared, “I need to get better at selling my clients on construction administration. Most think they don’t need it and refuse it when I offer. I had a recent client back out on the service because my drawings were essentially too well done. Once they saw the final drawings, they decided the contractor could handle it without my involvement.” This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Construction Administration for Architects is NOT an Option. During the past few years, we’ve began to discuss, as a profession, taking back the process.  The goal is to be viewed once again as the leaders of the construction industry. To make this happen, we must literally take control of our projects and lead the process from beginning to end. Construction Administration is not an option to be offered as an additional service, it’s an integral part of the architecture process. Do you need to get better at selling your clients on construction administration? Imagine a surgeon preparing for surgery and then handing it over to someone else to execute, or a lawyer spending months preparing a prosecution and then heading back to the office to prepare for a new case before the trial is over. It’s no different for architects. We spend months preparing a design, we work our way through three levels of increasingly difficult development and documenting exactly how a structure is to be built. How can we give it away? We’re responsible for the health, safety and welfare for the creations we make and we’re legally liable for what’s constructed from our designs. It’s our responsibility as licensed professionals to observe the construction of our designs and confirm that they are being built as we designed them. http://www.fivecat.com (Fivecat Studio Architecture) provides Construction Administration on every project from a storage shed to a completely new construction. How do we do it? We’re a full-service architecture firm. We help our clients organize from their first ideas of the projects all the way through the end of construction. Most clients have no idea how our process actually works, and yours don’t either. If you offer a service as optional, a client will look at it as such. Fivecat Studio proposes one fee that includes Construction Administration as a part of the overall service. If a client asks if they’ll work without construction administration, Mark and Annmarie let them know it isn’t an option for them. 8 Reasons Why You Provide Construction Administration We lead weekly project meetings and review the progress of construction.We’re there to monitor things and support them in answering questions throughout the process. We confirm that the contractor is executing the project as per the design and specifications.Our client just went through a whole process that involved a lot of time and money, so they want the project done the correct way. We’re available to quickly resolve unforeseen issues and unexpected conditions so construction progress isn’t delayed.Time = money, and, in our clients’ mind, having an experienced professional to walk through that process and keep things on track during inevitable crisis is invaluable. We review the contractor’s payments so we can have more leverage during construction.This allows us to protect the clients’ interest and confirm that they’re only paying for what’s appropriate at that stage of the project. Now the client feels confident that what they’re...

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/BuildingaNewHouse.png ()We’re Building a New House for Our Family We’re building a new house for our family! I’m going to share our process and our progress with you – right here – at EntreArchitect Podcast. This week on EntreArchitect Podcast, We’re Building a New House! Last fall, Mark LePage and Annmarie McCarthy purchased a lot on a subdivision in Weddington, North Carolina. Mark and Annmarie are husband and wife, and also partners at http://www.westchestermagazine.com/Westchester-Magazine/Westchester-Resources/Home-and-Garden/index.php/name/Fivecat-Studio-Architecture/listing/28392/ (Fivecat Studio) in Westchester County, New York. About 20 years ago, several of their family coincidentally moved from the New York metro area to North Carolina, just outside the city of Charlotte. Both Mark and Annmarie’s parents still live in the New York metro area, and have been a huge part in helping them raise their children while they were building their careers. Being close to New York City allows their family the convenience of visiting as often as they choose, and provides a fantastic client base for their high-end residential architecture firm. There are many opportunities that living in Westchester county affords them. However, there are also opportunities that living in North Carolina would bring too. They would have business contacts, since both of Annmarie’s brothers are in construction, Mark’s older brother is a photographer, and his younger brother is a high-end residential real estate broker in the Lake Norman region just north of Charlotte. Over the years, they’ve gone through the list of pros and cons, and have found that the pros of staying in Westchester have always outweighed the cons. This past summer, something big changed. After almost fifty years of living it the house that Annmarie grew up in, Annmarie’s parents surprised everyone by buying a home in South Carolina and moving within 4 months. Though they wanted their kids to go to great schools and they wanted to be close to both sets of parents, they knew that with their kids growing up and family moving far away, they had more flexibility to make other decisions. When they were freed up to look at moving, they didn’t find any homes that met their requirements as architects! Most of what’s available is being built by mega-developers, which would be a hard transition from a cottage in the woods of upstate New York. They were left with no choice… It’s time to build a new house!  They found the perfect plot of land in one of the best school districts in the state of North Carolina. They’re going to make the move slowly, taking time to build and uproot their entire family, including allowing their oldest, James, the opportunity to finish his senior year in Westchester. There’s so much in store! Follow Mark’s personal Instagram http://instagram.com/markrlepage (@markrlepage) to see the progress. Question: Have you built your own home? Share your story!

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/5-tools-for-pursuing-paperless-studio.jpg ()For 11 years Fivecat Studio was located in Pleasantville, New York about 10 minutes from our home in Chappaqua. It was a 2000 square foot space with hardwood floors, large windows, exposed structure and tall ceilings. It was a fabulous space for an architecture studio and we enjoyed being there for all those years. In November 2013, Annmarie and I made the decision to move out of that space and we moved into a new private studio built at our home. Our staff is now located in remote studios of their own and our 2000 square feet has been reduced to 200. In order to be most efficient and effectively communicate with our virtual team, we have adopted several apps to get things done. This week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I will share My 5 Tools for Pursuing a Productive Paperless Virtual Studio. This episode is sponsored by http://www.getfocusedcourse.com (GetFocused Course).

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/small7987532186.jpg ()In addition to developing a sales system, the concept of Target Market is the one thing that I most credit for the success of my small firm, Fivecat Studio. Every day I see architects’ websites stating that they “specialize” in residential, commercial and institutional. Specialists in everything specialize in nothing. Your customers want you to be the best at what they will hire you for. If 9 firms are generalists (great designers, but no focus) and one firm is an expert focused on being the very best at designing restaurants, who will receive the first call when the local celebrity chef is looking to open her next trotteria? This week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I will share my thoughts on Your Target Market.   Please review this podcast on iTunes.

Before launching Fivecat Studio, I worked for a few other firms where I had the opportunity to develop much larger projects than the projects Annmarie and I work on here at our firm now. Major school renovations., new office buildings, churches and synagogues. These projects included a specification manual . often organized into several different books, each about 2-1/2 thick. These documents were created by a professional specification writer who was paid thousands of dollars to include every piece of information that a contractor, owner (or lawyer) may be searching for when the project is being constructed. Our residential clients, building smaller projects, cannot afford a specification writer… but are they less important? Are we, as a registered architect, not just as liable for the work we are proposing? Shouldn't our projects have complete and thorough specifications too? Today on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I am speaking with three gentlemen who may have some answers for us small firm residential architects; complete specification for the work we do in a format that makes it simple to include with every project we design.   Please review this podcast on iTunes.

Annmarie and I were 29 years old. She was licensed. I was not. With no clients and no money, we launched the firm as a sole proprietorship; Annmarie McCarthy, Architect. Slowly, we grew the firm and in 2002, with my license in hand, we incorporated as McCarthy LePage Architects, PC. We knew from day one that we needed a way to differentiate ourselves from the many other local firms. McCarthy LePage Architects sounds very professional, but we do things differently. We needed a name that was a bit more personal, so we launched our brand, Fivecat Studio. When you finally decide to start your own firm, you will need to make several critical decisions. One of the most important decisions you'll need to make is which business structure best fits your new firm. The business structure you choose will have significant legal and tax implications.

We wanted to be sure that our name was unique and would clearly separate our studio from the many other residential architects in our region. We wanted a name that would be easy to remember, endure and outlive the firm's founders when the next generation might take the lead. We wanted a name that would not burden us as principals, forcing us to be the only people that prospects would want to meet when developing new business and interacting with clients. If our names were on the door, would we be the only people qualified to represent the firm? We wanted a name on which we could build a brand. We named our firm, http://www.fivecat.com (Fivecat Studio) and succeeded in building a successful brand of high-end residential architecture in the lower Hudson Valley of New York State. This week on the Entrepreneur Architect Podcast, I am speaking with a person who understands the how important proper branding is to the success of every architect.

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/15084635s.jpg ()My name is Mark R. LePage and I am a recovering procrastinator. After 40+ years, I don't have much hope of ever finding a cure, but recently I have found some ways to hang on to the wagon and stay focused on getting things done. With so many things on my plate, I often find myself paralyzed with overwhelm and I get nothing done. I fall back on old bad habits of soothing time wasters like clicking the Get Mail button on my Mac over and over again and checking my email for the next very important message. Or I find myself on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram or all three, refreshing over and over again hoping to see the next update. Anything to make myself feel like I am accomplishing something. Anything to keep me from doing the things that really matter. The things that will help me progress and take my firm to the next level. I am sure this all sounds too familiar to you. I can tell you though that I am getting much better at conquering this painful habit of procrastination. Among running my architecture firm, Fivecat Studio, building the Entrepreneur Architect platform, launching the Academy and committing to getting some real sleep, I have found it necessary to find effective ways to stay productive during the day. I have read books. I have listened to podcasts. I have searched the web, high and low, to find as much information as possible on the subject of procrastination and how to conquer it. So today on the Entrepreneur Architect Podcast, I will share 10 tips that I am using to conquer my procrastination. Please review this podcast on iTunes.

This week we are privledged to have Architect Mark R LePage of FiveCat Studio also the host of the Entrepreneur Architect with us to discuss a topic that is relevant and important to anyone wanting to own a business. This interview will give creative business owners and freelancers some practical insights into the difference between being a creative and being the owner of a business that provides creative services. It’s common knowledge that most business fail. Several might make it through the first year, about half might make it through the second, and every year after that it seems, the number of people who stay in business just keeps on halving. This is true for everybody, including creatives. The question is, why is that? We have all the information we need, a lot of it for free, about how to start and run a business. On Amazon alone right now there are OVER 2 million books listed under the term “business”. We come from fortunate educated backgrounds and many of us have worked for successful companies. Why then do so many people fail, and what are we to do about it? My hunch, and I base this on personal experience, is that as creatives, almost all of us at some time reach a point where we start thinking, “Hey, I’m really good at my job, I don’t need this employer, I’m certain I could be much more successful financially if I worked for myself.” It’s at that point that they miss an extremely important distinction.. Being talented and successful creatively, does NOT qualify you one bit to run a business. This discussion is for the creative who is contemplating starting their own practice. They’ve most likely been working under someone else’s wing for a few years and are feeling the urge to get out on their own, probably for the flexibility and the dream of being their own boss and being in control of their finances. I admire them and encourage each one to do what their heart tells them, but before they go, this interview will arm them not only with a few basic truths, but some excellent ideas of what to do next to improve their knowledge and chances of success.  

http://www.entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/hero.jpg ()In the 15 years that Annmarie and I have been practicing at our small residential architecture firm, we have seen much of our hardware come and go. We launched the firm with a single Dell workstation, a monster CRT monitor and an inexpensive all-in-one scanner, printer, fax machine. Today we're running Apple computers and the fax machine is long gone. On this episode of the Entrepreneur Architect Podcast, I am going to share with you a long list of all of the hardware and electronic equipment that we use to run Fivecat Studio on a daily basis. It's not fancy or cutting edge, but its what we have to do what we do. Please review this podcast on iTunes.

As we matured as architects and grew as a business, we learned that we needed to make more money in order to build a better business. Are you in this same position?

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/15143285s.jpg ()We need to talk. This may be uncomfortable, but we need to talk about money. Are you making enough to finish each month with a profit? Are you making enough to live comfortably? Are you making enough to simply pay the bills? So many architects I know are not making ends meet. We architects are notoriously horrible business people. My mission is to change that. (So share this blog with every architect you know!) I believe, deep down, we all want to be successful. We all want to make more money, but we are afraid. We are afraid to do the things necessary to make the money we truly deserve. This week on the Entrepreneur Architect Podcast, I'm talking about money and how to make more of it. I'm talking about my Architectural Services Sales System for Fivecat Studio. Homework A few weeks back I shared my original Business Plan for Fivecat Studio. If you haven't listened, or if you want to listen again, its over at http://www.EntreArchitect.com/episode24 (EntreArchitect.com/episode24). I hope that episode inspired you to write your one page business plan. If so, for homework, I want you to go back and review your business plan, specifically your mission. That's your purpose. When you sell your service, sell with purpose. You're not in it for the money or else you'd be doing something else. You are working toward something more important, something bigger than money, and you want to share it with as many people as possible. The beautiful thing is that the more you share and sell with purpose, the more money you are going to make. Try this system with your next prospective client and let me know how it works for you. It works for me and I hope that it make you lots of money. The world deserves it. Do you have a great sales system?

I’ll share all my previously confidential information and show you how Annmarie and I took Fivecat Studio from a struggling stalled small firm to a successful regional leader. Since that time, my plans have evolved and our current business plan looks very different. The year 2006 was when I enrolled in a local business academy and I learned the things that I didn't know that I didn't know.

From age 10, when I decided to become an architect, I knew that someday I would lead my own firm.

Why should all buildings designed for people, be designed by an architect, and how can architects be more influential? Architects, like all building professionals, need to run a good business to be effective. Mark R. LePage is an Entrepreneur Architect. He's passionate about the business of architecture, so much so that he writes, podcasts and coaches other architects how to run successful businesses.  I spokes with Mark about his journey, what makes his architectural practice, Fivecat Studio different, and the influence that architecture can have on people.  How much time do you spend finding out what your clients need or want?
