Hello Everyone,
Architecture Question.
I have over 30 years of experience in residential design and construction. When I see people posting questions in my field, especially those navigating fire-rebuild decisions, I try to offer thoughtful guidance and invite them to call so we can talk through their situation in more detail, as a professional courtesy. I’m not reaching out to pressure anyone into hiring me; I genuinely want to help. I grew up in Pacific Palisades, and it means a lot to support a community that gave me such a wonderful childhood. If someone ultimately considers me for their project, I’d be grateful—but that’s not my intention when I respond to a post.
Question: I’m truly happy to share my experience and offer help at no cost, but I’ve noticed that people rarely reach out after I respond. I include my phone number in case it’s easier to talk things through, yet no one has ever called. To help reassure people that I’m legitimate and experienced, I also share my website: Benson Design & Development & Co.
Do people just not trust anyone to really care to help?
