I am caught between a rock and a hard place. I am an architectural technologist who through chance ended up working for himself some 13 years ago and although I call myself nothing but an arch.tech the public, solicitors etc. blindly refer to me as an architect.<br />The problem is that the riai have worked tirelessly at blocking the title architectural technologist being recognised while working at getting the Law Society to drop their acceptance of non acedemically qualified architects. <br />I dream of the day that I can put up an Architectural Technologist sign outside my door.<br />The IATGN looked promising for a few years but lack of any progress and obvious strong links with the RIAI meant that they went nowhere.<br />So for the time being I am all for the Architects Alliance work because they are the only group that are kind of representing my interests and professional qualification.<br />If only the IATGN with upwards of 15,000 members would realise the power they have in numbers alone and stand up and be counted.<br />The RIAI have their heads stuck in the sands of exorbitant fees for too long and don't realise that they have been giving away the old typical roles of the Architect one by one (costing to the QS, Surveying, PSDP etc etc.) and the Architectural Technologist is trained and equipped to handle all those tasks.<br />We AT's don't appear to have copped that we have become the pivotal link in the design team, from inception to project managing all the way to completion and signing off on the Architects headed paper.<br />Architects have become office managers, with design and building legal & contractual knowledge added in for good measure. How long before we realise what we have and we do as the Architects Alliance are doing with their small numbers.<br />Keep the faith!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521512255046495937.post-16119254155601195752010-12-15T08:57:53.965+00:002010-12-15T08:57:53.965+00:00Unfortunately,many people think they are experts i...Unfortunately,many people think they are experts in building and offer loads of advice to homeowners on what they should do and who they need to engage, or not engage. <br />Some people would be prepared to spend more on a dishwasher than pay for professional advice, which says it all; considering one would be doing well not to have to replace a dishwasher after 5 years, yet their house should last a lifetime.archtechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549936395879494484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521512255046495937.post-29829408871795102192010-12-14T11:04:36.325+00:002010-12-14T11:04:36.325+00:00Amazing that the owners thought they could run a s...Amazing that the owners thought they could run a sizeable project from such drawinigs.<br />Unfortunately, there are a lot of "unqualified" people practising in construction and they lead to all sorts of difficulties down the line.<br />That and the "penny-wise, pound-foolish" attitude causes many problems.<br />Why spend €30-40,000(at least) on construction and try to save €1,000 in fees?
