@benjaminmurdoch so you don't go for the whole "just do us a quick sketch and if we like it we will give you the contract" thing then 🙂

@benjaminmurdoch so you are the same as us… Studio Murdoch might be a possibility one day haha

@Studio_EM @studiojleeds @benjaminmurdoch @koistycassels @designfrontuk initial meeting yes FOC, but not to pitch or smooze for the work!

@chalkdesign @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @benjaminmurdoch @koistycassels – Time and effort to go but people don't like to pay

— designfront (@designfrontuk) July 5, 2012

@benjaminmurdoch @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk have to agree with @koistycassels to an extent

@benjaminmurdoch are they famous? is it Gehry? I couldn't justify charging for an initial chat, I even pay for the coffee 🙂 @koistycassels

— designbyfinch (@wearefinch) July 5, 2012

@benjaminmurdoch @koistycassels office / cafe visit first then if it is a qualifiable project we will do the site visit @wmdarchitecture

— designbyfinch (@wearefinch) July 5, 2012

@Studio_EM @wmdarchitecture @koistycassels @benjaminmurdoch @designfrontuk free initial consulatation but no design

@Studio_EM @wmdarchitecture @koistycassels @benjaminmurdoch @designfrontuk work on a clear stage payment, do a bit get paid for it.
