A Fair day's pay...for a fair day's work. A new compact?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

"...A development company was recently challenged on when it would respect architects’ practices, and its reply focused on salaries: ‘We’ll respect you when you respect yourselves.’ There wasn’t an opportunity to query the developer’s appreciation of keeping a contemporary practice in business – from lawyers’ fees for bespoke contracts to the increasing cost of professional indemnity insurance, IT and securing new work. We are taking the high road of more impact, responsibility, expertise and value. Hence, we must support and challenge each other to be better. We can start by de fining what we expect of each other."
Peer reviewed by the Director of Practice, the Editor of the RIBAJ and other experts within the institute and profession as necessary.
