Every firm, with any experience, has many of these processes already in place. They may be documented as formal systems or they may just be a general understanding of “how we do it here”. It’s the document that we use at my firm to gather much of this important information from our clients. Listen carefully.

We work in Dropbox during design, and created a Dropbox folder shared among the design team, contractor, and clients for construction administration… but found it more effective to email information and documents rather than place them in the shared folder. What was the process for permitting? If yes, how were they resolved?

Are our documents consistent with client (and our) expectations? Where the focus is on documentation for pricing, coordinate the effort required in each phase so that it meshes with the magnitude of the design contingency (if there is one). Sign-offs help to identify “scope creep” and can often help to manage changes to the work.

Should non-architects be permitted to use the term “architect”? As individual small firm architects, we have more important tasks requiring our attention. The post Be Better appeared first on EntreArchitect // Small Firm Entrepreneur Architects. How would they compete? How is that fair?

This is the project that I will be featuring as we go through the design, construction document, and construction process. We completed the permit drawings a week ago and successfully acquired the permit before the end of September. It’s been just over a month since my last update and quite a lot has happened.

Every firm, with any experience, has many of these processes already in place. Before we start any project at Fivecat Studio , we spend a day documenting the existing conditions of the project site. Most of our projects are additions and alterations and we need a very accurate set of documents with which to base our designs.

The UK Government permits Apprentices to be paid substantially less than the Minimum Wage. If not fully applicable to Architects or the Studio Team, it might well be worthwhile for Administration, and Back Office activities such as Document Control, Bookkeeping and Monthly Payroll. Internships. Internet Home Workers.
