PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Creating a system of project management that could manage numerous projects on individual, moving timelines. By utilizing Asana, Write Way Works was able to create a Phased process by which no project falls behind schedule.
ORGANIZATION AND COMMUNICATION
By creating a streamlined system of communication, Green Team Design could now build partnerships with multiple home builders to move homeowners through the building process, giving them the change to build their dream homes.
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
Taking on the initial contact with the builders providing new project details, Write Way Works was able to systematically assign out the drafting work based on the teams' workload, all managed by Write Way Works. Green Team Design was then able to build new partnerships, new projects.
"I'm a custom home designer and the only outsourcing I had previously done was with a few US-based draftsmen. That was easy because it was familiar to
me - something I knew. The thought of having a personal assistant, though, was new territory. I remember at my first meeting with Heather not knowing exactly how to use her or what types of tasks to offload to her and the team. I had always done everything myself and didn't know where to begin. We decided to start with what we knew and build from there. I had one client in mind that I wanted her to interact with. This client represents 40-60 jobs per year - each with a dozen or more checkpoints and interactions. My hope was for Heather to handle as much of their work as possible. She quickly became adept at learning all that was required in dealing with this client. The Write Way team now handles about 98% of all work this client sends us (completely in the background) with almost zero input from me. I can't thank them enough!
Another specific task I had given them early on was to find me a second drafting team in India. I had already been using a company (in India) for drafting work but didn't really want to rely solely on them. I asked Heather to find us a second one so I could limit my risk. After searching online and considering several companies, she found one. While there were many steep learning curves to overcome, this company is allowing my design business to expand beyond what i could have though possible. That a huge "win" and all the credit goes to Heather and her team!"
