Description

Getting Paid is a convenient and readable guide to help in dealing with the difficulties in fee recovery, which is a perennial and destructive issue in contemporary architectural practice. Until recently, architects faced a triple whammy when a client did not pay: first, cash flow was cripplingly disrupted; second, action in law was prohibitively expensive and risky; and third, the defendant client could demand that the architect should provide security for costs. However, recent changes to the way legal actions are conducted make these difficulties considerably easier to overcome. Written by a respected construction lawyer and a practising architect, 'Getting Paid' describes the problems which may face an architects practice in pursuing fee claims and looks at the practical and contractual steps which might be taken to reduce these risks.
