Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fee bidding still generates emotive reactions from within many sections of the architectural profession. Fee bidding is not taught in most schools of architecture, so practitioners generally rely on hunches and guesswork. It is these wild card guesses, which exacerbate the poor levels of income for which the architectural profession is renowned. This book introduces practising architects, architectural managers and senior students, to the philosophy and practice of analytical estimating for fees. By means of a detailed case study it illustrates the many problems which may be encountered in the calculation of fees for professional services. It gives a step-by-step guide through the complexities of fee bidding and acts as a source of reference to successful bidding. A detailed discussion of the philosophy of design management and architectural management is developed as a backdrop to the preparation of a bid. It leads the reader through the mysteries of converting the calculation of a bid into a serious tender. This unique text is an essential guide for all practitioners, particularly those at the commencement of their careers and Part 3 students. Indeed it will be of importance to all constructional professionals who operate within a highly competitive market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fee Management is a straightforward professional guide for architects about calculating and negotiating fees to maximise profits. The advice puts equal emphasis on good administrative procedures and on the softer skills of negotiation and selling the architect's unique value to construction projects. Packed with worked examples, it explains the anatomy of a fee offer, advises on getting paid, and sets out the essential management tools for keeping track of the whole process. In an age when competition law prohibits recommended fee scales, it is vital to cost architectural services on a rational basis and to ensure that clients are persuaded of the worth of such services. Fee Management allows architects to meet those needs, making this a business-friendly and timely addition to all practice libraries. This new edition has been written to dovetail with the RIBA Agreements 2010, and has been fully updated following the amendments to the Construction Act.
