With something as complex as a kitchen, errors
can happen. But the number of mistakes can
be reduced with direct lines of communication.
Face-to-face conversations and on-site meetings
help make sure everyone is on the same page.
"We try to do the lion's share of design and
refinement with everyone in the room at the
same time," says architect Bill Prestwood. "That
way we make sure everyone is in agreement."
When time is of the essence, however, e—mail
and smartphones often make everyone's lives
easier. "Send everybody the sketch, get a quick
response from every team member, and by the
next day, we've solved it," Plowden says. But
be careful, Prestwood warns: With e-mail, the
opportunity for misinterpretation grows.
