The definitive reference for the life cycle of your design firm

By combining two popular titles in the Architect's Essentials series, this book offers a single resource that you can depend on throughout the life cycle of your design firm. Half of the book guides architects and other design professionals through the ins and outs of launching a firm. The second half helps you enhance your firm's strengths as you navigate ownership transitions, which may occur when you expand ownership to raise capital or begin preparing for retirement. Moreover, this book helps you determine when to conduct a review and how to make essential course corrections that keep your firm moving along a successful track.

Written by two recognized leaders in architectural practice, this book offers you practical advice based on firsthand experience for dealing with such issues as:

  • Creating a business plan and evaluating initial costs

  • Implementing winning business and marketing strategies to expand your firm's success

  • Managing personnel, fees, contract negotiations, budgets, and legal considerations

  • Evaluating a firm

  • Establishing the criteria for selecting new firm owners

  • Designing a smooth ownership transition program

Whether you are just starting a firm, evaluating an existing firm, or looking to transfer your firm's ownership, here is one book that provides clear, easy-to-follow answers.
