Q. This long distance thing won't work for me, I need to watch over my CAD person.
A. If your CAD person is a junior person with minimum experience, you may feel the need to do this. However, you should weigh the combined cost of two people sitting in front of one computer.
Floor Plans Plus!® customers recognize the value that years of experience brings to their project. 

Q. I'm thinking about hiring an employee but I'm not sure if I will have enough work to keep a person busy. Can you help?
A.
Floor Plans Plus!® customers love the option of having an 'on-call' service. You're not locked in like you are when you hire an employee.

Q. I need someone to block out my floor plans and elevations and I will finish the rest myself. Is this possible?
A.
Yes. Floor Plans Plus!® customers love this option as well. Use as much or as little time as you need, whenever you need it. No minimums.

Q. I've never done this long distance thing before. I don't want to lose control.
A. Don't worry. I've been helping customers since 1968. Every effort is made to keep your project as 'your project'. You'll never get David Brown's version of your project. You furnish the information, and answer my questions, and I'll put it all together for you. You'll see everything every step of the way.

Q. What are my responsibilities as your customer?
A. During the course of your project, many questions will arise.
Even if you are very busy, it is to your advantage to communicate promptly. Prompt communications keep your project moving toward completion.

Q. How do you manage to do so much if you are a one person company?
A. My company is set up in a very special way. I manage time as efficiently as possible. First, as a business-to-business, nationwide service, I do not need to have time-consuming meetings. Second, most customers' projects start and stop throughout the process, freeing up time slots. Third, I never allow any one project to overwhelm my schedule. Fourth, I have a time-saving, state-of-the-art communications setup.

Q. I only have bits and pieces of CAD work from time to time. You probably don't want to bother.
