How Do U Beat Nabooti Island

Customers

I open this post with a topic so controversial and so dear to us professionals. Bersani
legislation has allowed us to take advantage of several tools to be able to procure clients, yet the system remains unused.

Perhaps for fear of doing something that for decades there has been prohibited.
In fact the only things that are prohibited even have to do with professional ethics.
So, what can not do:
- we can not use the means of propaganda - that we have previously identified - to argue that we are better than others
- we can not in any way denigrating the actions of our competitors to be able to come out in a better light
- We can not rely on prices

So what can we do: namely

let us know - we can say, it seems that the media (newspapers, television, flyers, etc..) That we exist, that we are geographically spread over that area, we offer certain services

- we can explain the "benefits" that can make the call to architects, to professionals who design the environment (internal to the small industrial warehouse, the shop at the mall) considering all aspects: cost control and quality, functionality, optimization of logistics, innovative ideas, attention to materials selection, energy savings, biocompatible materials, care of the image, aesthetic, etc.. All things that other professionals who already work for too long we rise, can not possibly even imagine you can do.

- we can see that if the building processes, including children, are entrusted to the supervision of an architect, it certainly costs will be reduced (we tend to anticipate everything, we prepare estimates are consistent with market prices and ensures that customers are subjugated by the unscrupulous business deals, to ensure that the work is actually performed as a customer wants, they look for alternative materials and techniques, etc.).

we architects if we start working and to respect us as the ordinary people of the doctors, that after all what we have studied!, we have to be the first to inform on what we know and can do. And if we do this by providing benefits to our own activities, the better!

We use the tools that are granted. Let's get out of the outdated logic that prevented us for years to propose on the market. This has changed and to think that there are people who spontaneously come to us, is pure fantasy. Hope to live by word of mouth from friends, pure illusion.

Financial Crisis

All we know now that the financial crisis of recent times is sinking a building market already always in some crisis.
On one side the great capital for major works are fundamentally failing. Across the whole market led by purchases or renovation of homes being affected by the greater difficulty they have today banks to issue loans.
Good.
But there is a slice of the market who are missing and perhaps for once, would it be worth considering.
There are a whole part of investors who currently do not know what to do with their money: keep them in the bank is risky, investing in various funds and investments in securities (excuse the ignorance but having never had as a young architect big savings, not I have never been duly undertaken to examine these things, even when I had to study) has become a very unwise thing.
So? put them under the tile did not make sense. And then at this point we architects and actors of the construction market, why do not we start advising people to invest these funds in its property market? its investment through the classic Italian style of the "brick"? All this would benefit
:
- investors, found a property and also an income from it
- Manufacturers (more jobs)
- designers (most orders)
- skilled labor in the construction industry (more stability and certainty about the future)
- general market (more dwelling rents = more low)
- companies (the housing crisis would be resolved)

And then, after all, the tools to aggregate multiple investors into a single entity for the construction of buildings there.
and new construction in new urban contexts designed reinstalls, may be a way to realize a model of housing and living more sustainably.

There is even a model, I can not remember the name, residential complexes that are organized by way 'of great family, offering their internal services to condominiums, which usually seek elsewhere. An example: the housewife in the block h board offers to keep the children of couples who work in special space of the housing complex. (If anyone remembers the name, I would be happy if the signal).

Not to mention building the Convention, a useful tool for the design of houses in good quality content and lower costs.

I hope to be able to make a suggestion yet. See you soon.

Jessica

Have you ever heard of Jessica funds?
Behold, here I will carry a link where you can not own mind that he is repeating things that have already been thoroughly covered elsewhere, and better:

Jessica, a project for sustainable urban regeneration

In summary, this is European funding that public bodies may choose to enable.
There currently is the City of Milan has turned one of these programs and the submission of applications is free.
Among the forms of participation that a number of individual architects might prefer, is that of the non-profit organization (which deserves a separate discussion).

I invite you to look at the following notice:

One type of service companies in the round

To return to the visual identity, when I put my MBA to develop an idea business plan for an architectural firm that offers a range of additional services.
In short a study, referring mainly to the corporate market, serve to determine the design of spaces (the scale architectural and interior), to create a website, to deal with the creation of a business graphics (eg developing layouts for letterhead or something similar), which would provide, in short, everything you need to be able to start, including all the planning of advertising campaigns to be undertaken (production of commercials, posters, etc.)..

Here, I now know that many architects are dedicated to the creation of websites for some time now, other graphics, and so on. So why not join forces in a single large structure that can offer a complete service?

goes without saying that there must be other people ready to relinquish their traditional role as an architect and be ready to bet on something rather difficult to organize.

Visual Identity

One area where I recently discovered that in the world are converting many architects is that of the visual identity, in particular for establishing the corporate image, brand or trademark, as it provides 100% 's identity of a company.

This type of industry, in fact, I learned some knowledge during my MBA, when we had to deal with the form of Brand Management. This is what identifies the market segment, the image the company wants to have if, in reference to specific targets. Let me give an example, as an architect, I know these things to the majority of stakeholders (architects, too) is unknown. So, take for example a house of imaginary shoes. He has a good product and a low production cost. Yet its products have relatively high costs in the market. Why? because there is a well-defined corporate policy that they want those products are not for everyone, in order to go to create a imagine upper-middle-class product. I hope that I explained.

This type of management policy has to do with your brand.

Now define the "philosophies" that are behind, can be regarded as brand management.

but actually define what is the brand, starting with the logo, style, shopping, to website graphics, the selection of buildings and architectural definition of it (the number and breadth of the field will be derived from the assumptions management), that's all this is something they can do with a particular inclination and predisposition architects.

Treating image business, from small things to big things, if and when the opportunity arises.

in the meantime I send you a link to an article in English can be interesting and I intend to return to the matter as soon as possible.

but how many we are? TOO MANY

And how do we live? MALE

This blog is in need now clear that something must be done not only to re-evaluate the architectural profession, but also to suggest ideas of "conversion" of the profession in areas that would be congenial, so its contribution may be more significant than many other professionals.

So the green light to your ideas that will gathered here!
