Synopsis

This classic text, first written by A.J. Willis and W. George 40 years ago, has long provided the student of architecture and the young practitioner with an introduction to the profession, outlining an architect's duties to client and contractor, the key aspects of running a building contract and essentials of management, finance and drawing office procedure. This new edition is probably the most thorough revision undertaken and reflects the considerable changes that have occurred in the architectural profession over the last decade.

Revue de presse

"This update of a leading textbook/reference in the field first published in 1952 continues the tradition of an architect and quantity surveyor jointly addressing the architect′s profession mainly from the angle of the private practitioner. Chappell and Willis cover the basics of the profession in the UK, running a project from the site appraisal stage to post–construction completion, sources of trade information, finding employment, and marketing practices. The text includes the latest UK building regulations, standards of professional conduct and practice, relevant laws, and forms of contracts; project management flowcharts; and a table of legal cases. Despite the British accent, the book is applicable to the profession globally." ( Book News Inc, November 2010)
