Proposal for an N Scale Addition

Something to set the mood and give an indication of what all is involved inside.

So what does a simple proposal for model railroad design and building services look like? Here's a recent one that is pretty informal, but it covers all of the bases. It explains what is included, what is excluded, as well as a conceptual plan and time line. Pretty simple, but it helps get everyone on the same page from the beginning.

A break down of what is expected really helps get everyone thinking along the same lines. Every job is bid differently.

A good idea of what is going to happen really helps every stage of the project. Having a clear plan will root out any misunderstandings rather quickly, so that more time is spent on productive work and a good working relationship.

Now just like any project, there is probably going to be scope creep, time adjustments, and cost cuts or additions. But a plan is just a starting point for change. The idea is to get a good starting point so your changes can be as good as possible. A schedule gives a pretty good idea of when things are going to get done. Life generally changes this, but the project usually ends up completing when projected.



The N scale structures in previous posts were for this project, so you've already seen a little of what is going on. I'll keep you updated on our progress as it unfolds.
