    Hi Everyone,

    Does anyone come across some books which especially fit into the Australian Landscape Practice?
    Would be love to hear some recommendations, could be on the topic of:
    – Contract Admin
    – Fee Proposal Estimation
    – AILA registration test preparation
    – Landscape Details
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Damian!

    It is extremely helpful especially the members handbook. I read through AILA website for a few times but have not even realize such things existed.

    Just out of this topic, I assume you have gone through the AILA registration process. Do you have suggestion on the registration preparation, other than the members handbook?

    any specific area I should pay attention to?

    My seniors in the small office are not really helpful on this, so I am quite frustrated for the current situation as I am planning to get registered in the next two years.

    Thanks.

    Are you a graduate or have you been practicing for awhile?

    Hi Fox,

    have been in practice for two years, perhaps much more if my causal working experience is counted

    but I would still call myself as a graduate landscape architect due the fact that I am still lack of experience in most of the expertise especially project admin stuff

    Cheers,

    Download the guide to registration, it should help you out with registration stuff

    It looks like you have the minimum work experience though just the bare minimum. you would need to go through mentorship though

    Thanks for your advice.

    You are right. It is a bare minimum. and People said it’s hard to get it through if I just have two years working experience.

    That’s why I am trying to further solidified my skills by asking for some books recommendations. I do competitions and free lance work but it ‘s still not enough especially with those project admin things.

    I would think advice from the professional here like you and Damian would help me a lot.. not only for registration but for my further career and expertise.

    Cheers,

    King

    Well, Skillwise i think that is where the mentorship comes in which takes another year. I am not to sure of any books that would covers admin, fee proposal etc. but there are many people practicing here who aren’t registered so it isn’t a huge deal anyway. though recommended.
