"Whatever the stage of your career, the Architect's Job Book will provide an accessible and vital knowledge resource for contemporary architectural practice."- From the foreword by Sunand Prasad, former RIBA President

The Architects Job Book is the Royal Institute of British Architects long-established and recognised standard reference work for running architectural jobs and administering construction contracts. Providing a systematic operational framework that can be applied to any building type or procurement method, its comprehensive scope is logically laid out along the RIBAs Outline Plan of Work 2007.

The new Eighth Edition has been completely updated to reflect current practice and substantially reformatted to make it easier to use for todays practising architect. Now supported by a companion website, the book examines the architect's key obligations and actions to be undertaken at every work stage set out as a series of checklists. The guidance is amplified by useful notes as well as references to supplementary guidance material at the end of every chapter.

In all, the Architect's Job Books straightforward, no-nonsense coverage is invaluable and will form the cornerstone of an office quality management system, making it essential reading for anyone in architectural practice or, indeed, for students undertaking their Part 3 examinations.
