Description
This book is an easily digestible guide to the management and practice knowledge needed to establish and run an architectural practice. It is of particular interest to those starting out in the profession and to students, whilst also being useful to architects more widely who need succinct information to assist them in the daily management of their work. The book sits beside the Architect's Legal Pocket Book providing legal information and the Architect's Pocket Book providing guidance in design. It covers all the main management and practice topics relevant to the running of an architectural business including setting up the company, the profession, project management, fees, office management, financial management and teamwork. It also looks at the state of the construction industry and the architectural profession today, new forms of practice, and how the profession is changing. The book is interweaved with pearls of wisdom and experience and reflections from architects, bringing the topics to life and aiding the reader's understanding.
