About
The story so far.
The person behind the work.
Are you the director of an architecture practice and perhaps you have become frustrated that perhaps you aren't working with the types of clients you desire?
Perhaps you might have experienced yourself doing less and less of the creative work you love and have found your role is largely occupied with administration and proposal writing that can often be unfruitful.
Some practice owners can also find themselves in the unfortunate situation of not quite feeling like they are getting paid what they are worth, and on top of that have to chase clients in order to receive that payment.
Many incredibly talented and intelligent practices desire to enter into new sectors or work on projects that yield stable and consistent cash flow, or work with great clients with repeat business but have found themselves stuck in a feast and famine cycle.
At the Business of Architecture we help Architects win meaningful, impactful and profitable work with creative client acquisition & business development strategies.
For further weekly updates and interviews with industry thought leaders, practice owners and tips, tactics and strategies on how to run a profitable and impactful practice sign up to our email list www.businessofarcchitecture.co.uk
