Description

From the popular Good Practice series comes Starting a Practice. Written by a highly respected architect who has made a success of his own architecture business, Starting a Practice is a comprehensive, straightforward and completely up-to-date guide to the myriad issues and key steps to take in the process.

As with any new business, the decision to go it alone is laden with uncertainty, risk that can be countered in part by being properly informed. Fundamental advice for business success that asks realistic questions of you and your plan precedes the more practical aspects of starting a practice.

The book explains the different forms of practice, where to set up your office, how to draw up your business plan, what professional advice to seek and the hurdles to clear to incorporate the firm. Once properly set up, the book considers how to run the business, look after your finances, deal with staff, get noticed and win work.

Part of the RIBA Good Practice series, Guide to Starting a Practice is an essential first point of reference for all architects considering setting up their own business.

Other guides in this series include Employment, Negotiating the Planning Maze and Keeping out of Trouble.
