Architectural firms

Architect’s should be busy with following 3 things only:-

1. Grabbing a project. Needs to be ahead of the competition.
2. Continue the project. Needs to be client responsive, ahead of other competitors grabbing your project by undercutting, etc. Setting up a higher standard of deliverables in the building market, architect wishes his/her office should be known for. Timely submission.
3. Getting paid for the project. Timely payments at intervals. Minimise the risk of non-payment. Setting up a fees standard in the building market, below which you will not accept.

To achieve these things, hire proper personnel. Lay down standard office procedures. Follow local codes, taxes regime and build up a good profile. Sometimes diversification to accept interior jobs also will help…..I think you are on your way……now…. ask yourself and get more contextual intelligent answers.
