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 DetailsAny thoughts would be appreciated.Thanks.KingMay 10, 2010 at 10:46 pm #169783dlfParticipantThanks 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.

May 10, 2010 at 11:12 pm #169781dlfParticipantHi 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,

May 11, 2010 at 4:22 am #169780Ryland FoxParticipantDownload the guide to registration, it should help you out with registration stuff
http://www.aila.org.au/membership/reg-info.htmIt looks like you have the minimum work experience though just the bare minimum. you would need to go through mentorship though
May 11, 2010 at 7:11 am #169779dlfParticipantThanks 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
May 12, 2010 at 1:55 am #169778Ryland FoxParticipantWell, 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.
