Publisher's Synopsis
No good architect will rush to turn his or her new home into reality by starting to build it right away; Before the construction work begins, there are several necessary stages of planning and preparation; Drawings need to be prepared, a survey of the land on which the house is to be built, plans must be drawn to determine the exact bearing capacity, and last but not least the house owners must give their consent to the proposed work, which often turns out to be the most difficult step in the whole process. Any architect actually works at very fine levels of detail; Without a clear mandate and detailed budget, he cannot even begin the planning process; So he will first want to know what vision the other party has for his dream home, the criteria he has to apply, and how much money he has.
