A client has recently asked us to design an outdoor hot tub for their patio, but with a unique request. They want it to automatically open and close. We suggested the possibility of a cover that lifts over the in-ground tub, and they were curious about that concept.

Does that seem odd to you? Corporations are using this technology to save them money on their large projects. If this technology could be used for your betterment, would that be relevant?

Have you ever felt like this? I hate to say it, but I’ve probably done this! Such a perspective certainly gives a different view of professional services…and their worth.
While watching this video, think of the message…and do you agree, or not?
