Fee bidding still generates emotive reactions from within many sections of the architectural profession. Fee bidding is not taught in most schools of architecture; so practitioners generally rely on hunches and guesswork. It is these wild card guesses; which exacerbate the poor levels of income for which the architectural profession is renowned. This book introduces practising architects; architectural managers and senior students; to the philosophy and practice of analytical estimating for fees. By means of a detailed case study it illustrates the many problems which may be encountered in the calculation of fees for professional services. It gives a step-by-step guide through the complexities of fee bidding and acts as a source of reference to successful bidding. A detailed discussion of the philosophy of design management and architectural management is developed as a backdrop to the preparation of a bid. It leads the reader through the mysteries of converting the calculation of a bid into a serious tender. This unique text is an essential guide for all practitioners; particularly those at the commencement of their careers and Part 3 students. Indeed it will be of importance to all constructional professionals who operate within a highly competitive market.

It is a good book anywayBy JutanjA good book with useful information about its sketches shown inside.Actually it is a good book for those who like to study more about art.60 sketches in a book is not a big amount of picture in a picture book; but it is still very useful for those who like drawing and want to study something from other sketches.I recommended this book for Leonardo da Vincis works sketches; but there is not a lot of sketches in the book. This book is just a small sample for a large number of Leonardo da Vincis great work; and for those who want to know more about Leonardo da Vincis drawing.Just buy the book and enjoy.HTH - Hope this Help :)1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. GreatBy john n yaouGreat book; but the only downside is that the drawing are pretty small and dont give a great perspective on the work.21 of 23 people found the following review helpful. the ultimate picture bookBy JeffThis a great book if youre looking to decorate your room; but its not much for explanations. It is very lacking in text; but then again; the prints more than speak for themselves. A great book for any art collector.
