Architect's Guide to Running a Job

Description

First published in 1964, this book has proved to be a success in taking you step-by-step through the entire process of running a job.

Updated for 2001, the book deals with five basic types of contract rather than one and includes new risk assessment documentation in relation to health and safety.

The architect is greatly concerned with the ins and outs of case law, insurance and contract documents. Behind all these, however, lies something less changeable: the need for basically sound architectural practice. This is the essential structure on which any additional precautions always have to be supported. Basic practice is the concern of this book, and the appearance of this sixth revised edition confirms the continuing need to attend to the subject. An architect has to be administrator as well as designer, and smooth economical administration will provide the conditions under which client relation can be constructive and good design can be achieved. Flow charts show a step-by-step guide to making the right moves in the right sequence. Ronald Green writes from experience, for both students who want a clear guide to essentials, and professionals who want a quick reminder at their elbow.
