Architect's guide to running a job

This handbook is designed to be used as a tool by architects and their assistants in the day to day administrations of a building contract. The book is designed to help you achieve spending no more time than needed. The sequence is from brisk ice-cold commonsense of its opening paragraph to the final warm hearted words of parting advice and without recourse to management jargon, all the man operations from site inspection to briefing a mural painter from party wall procedure to the nomination of sub-contractor, that may be met with in running a job of any size from any office, large or small. As a reference too, information chart or check-list, it will be found invaluable, as necessary as a T square or a telephone. The material contained in this book first appeared as a series of articles in The Architect's journal; it is due to the widespread and enthusiastic reception which was given to those articles that they are republished here in more permanent form
