Architects' Guide to Fee Bidding

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Architects' Guide to Fee Bidding," is the seminal work for the modern architect, technologists and building designer. It introduces the management of the design process, the management of the business, and the co-reltionships between sensible management and successful fee bids. It explains the effects of a 'right first time' philosophy and the implications of using different forms of engagement on costs and fees. The book takes the readers through a step by step approach to the calculation of a quite complicated building. Each element is demonstrated in a clear manner so that more simple, or more complex buildings can take this example as a matrix for other building types and deatils. A systems approach is taken to the fee bidding process, which can be applied by large and small practices alike. Although technical, the book is intended as a text for final year students at universities, as well as a desk reference for the professional.
