"The Architect"s Job Book" is the long established standard and recognised point of reference for job and contract administration and provides a systemic operational framework that can be applied to any building type or procurement method. The new 8th edition has been considerably updated and reformatted to reflect current practice and to make the book into a more operational tool. It returns to A4 size and includes a CD to enable the Project Architect to set up a job file for each of his projects and to monitor progress against them. This will be a boon to all practising architects which they will want to possess and be a valuable guide for all Part 3 students.Each section of the book follows a similar format of actions and action watch points in the form of tables with relevant guidance notes to assist the user. Where appropriate they are cross referenced to further additional supplementary material. The activity tables in each RIBA plan of work, work stage list the activities that are likely to occur at each work stage making this an essential project guide for all architects.
