Flexibility is relative. Relative to how far along I am in a given project. At the start of the project everything is flexible – products, finishes, colors, materials. Once the specifications are written and agreed to, then the project starts. The decisions start to become reality. Flexibility is reduced although changes are still possible – and there is a cost for the flexibility. Once a product is ordered – it’s still flexible – but it costs more with restocking fees, reverse logistics, and other associated expenses. After something is installed, it gets even more expensive – think of tile. It’s installed – but of course the costs of flexibility are exponentially more expensive. The further along in the project, the more expensive it is to be flexible.
