The architect is a professional, but the work must also be infused with the elements of good business practice. This book shows the architect how to get a job, and how to make a reasonable profit as well. It is written for those on the threshold of practice more particularly, but may very well hold an interest for architects of wider experience. Topics include setting yourself up in business, stalking and capture of clients, making a contract with the owner, design within the owner's budget, handling the client in conference, keeping your overhead underfoot, and much more.
