Book Description:
There is clearly potential for the industrial production of
open buildings - namely buildings where the parts which makeup
the whole are designed to allow a high degree freedom for
layout, construction and adaptation. Industrialised open
building has the potential to radically cut building costs
and construction time. The book focusses on product and
production systematics and information systematics, and begins
with an extensive survey of the field by the editor. The second
part consists of a series of descriptions of the experience of
different countries, and chapters on particular themes. The book
presents new material developed from Commission W24 of the CIB
(the International Council for Building Research Studies and
Documentation).

Architects' Guide to Fee Bidding

M. Pa Nicholson, "Architects' Guide to Fee Bidding"
Taylor & Francis | 2002-11-15 | ISBN: 0415273358 | 280 pages | PDF | 2 MB

Architects' Guide to Fee Bidding, is the seminal work for the modern architect, technologists and building designer. It introduces the management of the design process, the management of the business, and the co-reltionships between sensible management and successful fee bids. It explains the effects of a 'right first time' philosophy and the implications of using different forms of engagement on costs and fees.
The book takes the readers through a step by step approach to the calculation of a quite complicated building. Each element is demonstrated in a clear manner so that more simple, or more complex buildings can take this example as a matrix for other building types and deatils. A systems approach is taken to the fee bidding process, which can be applied by large and small practices alike.
Although technical, the book is intended as a text for final year students at universities, as well as a desk reference for the professional.
