OverviewArchitects are finding the procurement landscape increasingly complex and competitive. This book shows practitioners the ways that fees are calculated, negotiated and managed. It will increase your understanding of the different fee-earning roles for architects, professional services contracts, how to calculate sustainable fee levels and improve negotiation skills. It also includes information on how to monitor and manage fees and the resources required to deliver projects, managing change in the scope of the project and related services, where to add value and to highlight risk areas that may impact on sustaining the business. Case studies explain good and bad practice to illustrate effective fee management, drawn from the authors’ direct experience as practitioners and investigating client complaints. This revised edition has been updated to reflect industry and economic changes since the publication of the first edition in 2021, taking account of the new Building Regulations Principal Designer duties. These changes help to capture a moving landscape with the Building Safety Act, latest data from the benchmarking survey and ongoing climate emergency.
