Opis

Fee bidding still generates emotive reactions from within many sections of the architectural profession. Fee bidding is not taught in most schools of architecture, so practitioners generally rely on hunches and guesswork. These wild-card guesses exacerbate the poor levels of income for which the architectural profession is renowned.
