Chirs,
Here in Texas we are not required to be licensed for landscape contracting. Sometimes I wish we were because every guy that has lost his job in the last few months has become a landscaper/maintenace contractor. I am sometimes bidding against people that are brand new in the business.
I am working with several Landscape Architects like…[Read more]

Hey Chris,
We are in Phoenix, and we do mainly design and subcontract the work out on high end residential designs. I believe we are the main contractor, and the work is divided accordingly.

Chris,
I operated a design/build company for 25 years where most of the work we did in-house with some sub-contracting on the specialized features. I now work by myself designing and then managing the projects. I have a network of contractors that work on these projects. I have a design fee and then negotiate a management fee with the…[Read more]

Elif-

I have learned that high-level or not, clients don’t read a lot of text. They’re swayed by images, sketches, pretty colors, and your passion. If you say Mondrian, show them what/who that is so they don’t have to ask. Have images that clearly delineate the connection between a Mondrian piece and your design (for example). If you communicate…[Read more]

Chris-
My advice:
If you love design, find a couple of good contractors you can send work to on a regular basis. They will (or should) pay you a commission or referal fee for the work you refer to them. They will in turn send you work, some of which they will pay you for directly. Probably a little at first, then more as your relationship builds.…[Read more]

Hey Chris,
My principal here in AZ is a licensed contractor. It’s pretty involved here, but definitely opens up many opportunities…

Brittany, 1 of my tips would be to write a personalized cover letter for each position that you are applying for… Also keep it crisp, clean and oriented towards that specific job….All the best!

A’ propose fizjografii – wczoraj odbywałam dość burzliwa dyskusje na jej temat na budowie. Szkoda , że tak mało branż ma ja w programie nauczania.
Co do entomologi…ile cennych uwag dostałam na temat kręcenia filmów wideo! Znajomość z P. Kozłowskim okazała się bardzo przydatna, choć w nieco innym ujęciu:)
Nigdy nie wiadomo do czego nam się p…[Read more]

A ja mam pytane odnośnie procedur FIDIC. Czy spotkaliście się z koniecznością posiadania przez arch. kraj dodatkowych kwalifikacji związanych z ta procedurą? Czy od kogoś z szanownego grona wymagano ukończenia szkolenia lub warsztatów w tym zakresie?

Wygląda na to, że cele warszawskiego oddziału SARP pokrywają się z SAK w zakresie uprawnień. Czy ktoś może mi powiedzieć czy SAK współpracuje z nimi? A może warto byłoby się zjednoczyć w jakiejś formie?

Hmm, a ja tak banalnie może, ale właśnie wróciłam z kidasmi z przedszkola, i tak mi się skojarzyło, że tak jak żadne mądre rady i nauczanie w szkołach rodzenia (przepraszam za skojarzenie) nie uczy jak być rodzicem, tak chyba żadna szkoła nie do końca wykształci architekta krajobrazu, bo kazdy z nas ma inne oczekiwania i postrzeganie rz…[Read more]
