Practice Management
Choose Your Parachute Before You Jump
Simon Fox's 2006 guide opens with a blunt warning: do not start a practice. This session bridges that text to current law, walking through the four business structures and their liability profiles, why incorporation never protects work done before the company existed, and how PII operates on a claims-made basis. Mandatory updates cover CDM 2015, the Building Safety Act 2022, UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the ARB Code 2025, replacing several obsolete references the 2006 source relies on.
Appointments and Fees
Cash Is King: Fee Enforcement From Invoice to Bailiff
Cash flow, not design quality, is the silent killer of architectural practices. This episode covers the full fee management cycle: ruthless timesheet discipline, monthly invoicing aligned to your client's payment run, the HMRC VAT Cash Accounting Scheme, and the statutory payment regime under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. You will also learn the RIBA Agreements 2010 day-by-day payment timeline, the 8% late payment penalty under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, change control discipline, and a five-rung debt enforcement ladder up to bailiffs and adjudication.
Appointments and Fees
Never Pitch a Planned Loss
This episode takes the prohibition on 'planned loss' as its central regulatory frame, establishing that a below-break-even fee proposal breaches ARB Standard 4 and RIBA Principle 2.2. Drawing on the Good Practice Guide: Fees by Farrell and Brookhouse, it walks through the fatal flaws in lump-sum, percentage, and time-charge structures before advocating a hybrid model mapped to RIBA Plan of Work 2020 stages. It then covers the 'baking the office cake' cost-build method, the VAT distinction between expenses and disbursements, and Consumer Rights Act 2015 compliance requirements for domestic appointments.
Practice Management
That Pub Handshake Just Cost You Two Weeks Pay
A verbal job offer accepted over a pint is a legally binding contract under the Employment Rights Act 1996 Section 1, and failing to issue a written statement within two months costs the practice two to four weeks of pay. This episode walks through the full employment lifecycle: non-discriminatory recruitment, the Equality Act 2010 consolidation, baseline statutory rights under the Working Time Regulations 1998, grievance and capability procedures, redundancy, automatic unfair dismissal, and post-employment tools including restrictive covenants and garden leave.
