Architect Gerry McMaster has a piece of advice for professionals interested in establishing good working relationships with their clients: Put them on the payroll. It may sound like a radical idea but Mr. McMaster knows what he's talking about. He's not just an employee of Young + Wright Architects Inc. of Toronto; he's also their client. Or, at least, that's the way he likes to think of himself.
