Where is itinerant lifestyle project headed?

I am writing my first commercial site at the moment, trying to attract some interest in the freelance service I plan to offer – a construction based cost consultancy. I have been working as a Quantity Surveyor (QS) since leaving university, mainly for large construction companies, however I had a short spell freelancing as a QS before I began my current job.

I will offer remote services such as bill of quantity preparation, cost estimation, settlement of final accounts and risk assessments – basically anything related to Quantity Surveying and construction cost controls that can be done over the internet.

The first step to becoming the boss of my empire is setting up this small consultancy and starting to advertise my services online. I have almost settled upon a name for the business, Mejia & Jones Cost Consultants, and am about half way through writing the website.

After that I’ll get some business cards printed and start giving them out to all and sundry, do a little twitter marketing and I also plan to implement some other little guerilla marketing tactics that I hope will bring some attention. Hopefully this will get the ball rolling and end up in a contract or two. I don’t plan to quit my day job just yet!

In case you are wondering, Mejia is my girlfriends surname!
