Building Engineer, August 2006

A thoroughly readable guide to the profession, outlining the architect's duties to client and contractor, some key apstects to the running of a building contracts and principles which might usefully be applied to the day-to-day management of a young practice. For the more mature practice it would form a useful reference on which to base an office manual.
