This list is given to show some of the special items that might be needed to get the project started. As the work progresses we will certainly have more questions that can be answered through phone conversations or email.
I can usually produce normal plans within a 15-working day period or less depending on how quickly you can return calls or emails with answers to design questions. If I can't I won't start the project.
