Each Project is Unique and Different.  There are several ways to create your Project.  Project Flow depends heavily on Method of Creation, and your ability to Envision and make Decesions.  For more Indecisive folks, the project will take longer and may cost more as we have to make several alterations in the Sketching, Design & Modeling Stages.
