I Always Ask For a Deposit
I alway ask for a deposit before I start working on an architectural rendering project. There are two main reasons for this:
- I need to pay my bills, and I can’t wait until the end of a project to do that. Plus, I’m doing my best work, so I deserve to get paid during the work. Sometimes projects take a few weeks, or even months, and going without any money during that time is a hardship.
- The second reason is that sometimes, you and your client will decide to part ways before a project ends. That isn’t always your fault. Clients occasionally run out of money or need to stop a project for reasons that have nothing at all to do with you. But if you have the project set up so that you don’t get paid until the end, you run the risk of walking away with nothing, even if you’ve already put a lot of hours in.
Agreeing with my clients on a few payments over the course of the project, which includes an initial deposit, assures me that my work was done for nothing if we do part ways early.
