Author:Marianne Davys
Format: pdf
Tags: THIS BOOK is a practical guide on how to set up and run a small architectural practice and how to run multiple small projects efficiently. It is split into three distinct sections, beginning with the practicalities of setting up and running a small architectural business, following with guidance structured around the RIBA Plan of Work on running multiple small projects with plenty of examples of the kinds of projects that the small practice might take on. The final section finishes with 10 illustrated case studies of domestic and commercial projects with budgets from £50,000–£750,000. Written by an expert with over 15 years’ worth of experience running her own small practice, this book provides must-have guidance for the small practice or sole practitioner. 'This book is invaluable and like all great and timeless textbooks it will, I am sure, become known simply by the author’s name: Davys. It comes out of a lifetime of experience and provides the sort of real, practical advice all new practices need to know, as well as matters that experienced practitioners will benefit from. It is written in an accessible style and can be read as a whole or dipped into as a reference book. It covers setting up a practice, financial management, office management and people management as well as the administration of small projects, from inception through to completion. The personality and professionalism of the author are apparent on every page. Make sure you read it.' Nigel Ostime, Hawkins\\Brown, author of the Small Projects Handbook 'This is a little gem of a manual for small practice, which provides practical insights and inspiring project case studies. The world of small practice and the sole practitioner can be richly rewarding but can also feel lonely at times. Marianne Davys uses her extensive experience to take readers through the legal, business and philosophical steps of setting up an architectural practice. She packs into one compact volume the key information and tools needed to enable a small practice or sole practitioner to deliver a high quality architectural service to clients and a profitable business. Small Practice and the Sole Practitioner is a highly crafted resource for anyone operating in the small practice sector that provides the engine room of the architectural profession.' Adrian Dobson, RIBA Executive Director, Members 'This is an extraordinarily comprehensive account of the issues that small practices and sole practitioners need to be conversant with. It would be invaluable to anyone setting up in practice but it is also a huge resource for Part 3 students, who may be looking into some of these areas for the first time, as well as more experienced practitioners, who will appreciate Marianne’s depth of knowledge and clear explanations.' Miranda Terry, Cambridge University, Course Director of Part 3
