17th October 2023 Tuesday - many meetings

Toorak House - 2 failed models, one by man and the other by machine


3 of us attend the meeting for the new serviced apartment project; it is a small meeting and quite short. The building plans are about to be approved, tender drawings are at 75% and released for the preparation of tender documents. After the meeting, we visit our show unit and then a project site by another local architect with the client's representative (who was a former intern at DNA). We are all on familiar terms and he speaks frankly; about getting senior architects or directors to visit the job site, about good construction details, proper contract administration. I suggest a few practices whom he could contact for future projects. 

In the car on the way back, someone ask "why would I suggest other 'competitors' architects to the client"? We cannot take on all the work and I think it is good for the client have experience working with other architects.
