1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Written for a UK audience; not USABy brian williamsIf you are practicing in the USA; do not purchase this book. It wasnt obvious to me that this was written for a UK (and its process adherents) audience. As it happens I have practiced architecture in the UK and this book might have helped to guide the process. But for someone looking for a guide of this type for a job within the USA; this book is not for you. First time Ive sent a book back and was 5 stars with the return.
