I am a student at Uni of Cambridge. I'd really appreciate knowing this from you architecture professionals:
1. How much repetitive and tedious design processes would you say you are involved in after an initial design for a client building a house?
2. What tools would you say you are useful when you rebuild CAD sketches based on client changing specifications?
Thanks

I give my clients a certain period (usually in weeks) of unlimited "design" time. Anything beyond that is hourly.
As far as your second question: I am IN LOVE with ArchiCAD's BimX tool. You basically export your model as a BimX and your client can just walk throught it as if they were playing a video game; no pre-planning of paths like in Revit. This "experiential" approach is not necessarily photorealistic, though I include all the actual materials at the scale they actually would be at, but it is for the client to understand the scale and feel of the space and the various details they are "buying".
