      My role was sales and design at this residential design-build company. I interviewed with potential clients and contracted with them for design. I worked closely with them through design and estimating (including finish selection and construction documents—utilizing a draftsman for drawing work) and then contracted with them for construction. While the work was mostly remodels, I also worked on a large new home in North Albany. My role was sales and design at this residential design-build company.
