A practical guide to navigating a building project

Speaking Architecture maps the work involved in taking a construction project from its initial brief through planning, building and delivery. Its scope spans domestic and commercial projects of different sizes, with attention to the people involved and the processes that connect their work. The handbook explains architectural and construction roles, clarifies key terminology, and sets out considerations such as defining scope, managing budgets, communicating clearly and selecting suppliers. This makes the book a reference point for understanding how a project’s creative vision and practical coordination fit together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People planning a domestic or commercial building project
  • Clients who want to better understand architects’ and construction teams’ roles
  • Readers seeking a reference on project scope, budgets, communication and suppliers
