Toni,

We are frequently brought into collaboration with the builder on the flooring projects. Many clients like going through the process of picking a species and width to use for their project. When you refer to a building professional, whom do you mean?

I was referring to the contractor or builder that built or opened walls, moved windows, installed tiles, flooring, cabinets, etc as specified by me to create a space..... I was meaning to give credit to thier craftsmanship.....

Eutree,I would think that if you design and install an inlay pattern or some special floor detail, that you would be a collaborator as well? Is it meant to give exposure to say a granite installer in a kitchen as a for instance?

Toni, you are on the right track. Any time you bring in professionals that have a specific trade craft whether that be cabinets, tiles, or specialty wide plank flooring you are tapping both their experience and expertise. That collaboration will always result in a finer living space.

Thanks, I am thinking then, that if I selected the materials, it is proper to credit the builder/ installer....
