Whether you are designing a traditional home or your interests lie in large scale commercial buildings, you will find many different people involved in the construction process. Whether behind the scenes or on-site to supervise construction projects, your architect needs to know how to manage both people and good design.

With clients? If not, what is? Among team?

What are the lessons I have learned from starting a firm, working for other people, and serving residential clients over the past 10 years? What are my design values and how can I attract clients that share these values? This then allows me to better serve the clients I work with. Fixed-fees address many of these issues.

Blog Story No. Up until that time, architects seldom faced law suits by their clients or by third parties due to a set of legal barriers put in place long ago by English common law. They feared the possibility of unlimited litigation by clients who could sue them into econmic oblivion. It is hard to say when the crisis began.

Believe it or not, I spend a considerable amount of time thinking about the privacy of my clients. For most of them, they think it’s pretty cool to have their project documented as thoroughly as I do – not to mention all the stories that I tell that happen when the clients aren’t around.

Your Interns Could Be Your Future Clients. What if you viewed your junior staff as one day they might be your future client? If your letting people work in your office and get a “behind the scenes” look at how you run your business, viewing them as a future client makes a lot of sense then seeing them as anything else.

This project will be constructed using SIP’s (Structurally Insulated Panels), we are using a post tension structural slab, the owner will be extremely active in the construction process, and we are targeting a total construction cost somewhere in the $200 per square foot range. Could be pretty interesting.

Sustainability A lot of presenters used the term circular economy, meaning that materials used for construction are either recycled or will be recycled after a building gets "deconstructed". The Powerhouse offices are constructed from heavy timber and for a floating structure this seems quite appropriate.

We received our permit at the end of October of last year so I know what you’re thinking … why haven’t you started construction? One of the items we spent time thinking about was how the client would age in place at this house. Clients love to be able to see the models. and I love apple computers.

I tell clients that we could design a successful project with nothing more than a scope of work and site plan. This is true, but it is only after listening to our clients hopes, needs and dreams that we can take each project to its pinnacle. The quickest way to an unhappy client is to design a project beyond their budget.

It was very interesting that many of them had similar questions to those I receive every day from the licensed architects who follow this blog. Should non-architects be permitted to use the term “architect”? We have businesses to build, clients to serve and families to feed. Some were concerned about finding a job.
