ArchiTeam Advocacy 

Home Builder Program - response to government

In early June the Federal Government released the Home Builder Program, along with most Australian Architects, ArchiTeam was disappointed with the lack of involvement and benefits for Australian Architects in the program. More significantly, there are no stimulus packages designed to address critical social housing needs. ArchiTeam Director Jamie Sormann, in charge of the Advocacy portfolio, tells us what happened next. Read More...

Force Majeure ABIC special condition -
now available 

Thanks to the ACA, Moray and Agnew has developed special conditions for ABIC SW-2018 contracts on their behalf. In their unamended forms, these contracts have no provisions addressing risk for, among other things, pandemics such as Covid-19. The harsh result in the unamended contracts is that the contractor bears the risk for delay caused by the pandemic. Read more...

Archibiz + ArchiTeam course

Archibiz and Architeam will offer Archibiz’s “Designing Architectural Practice Success” course exclusively to Architeam members for the first time, starting on Wednesday 5 August.  
 
In business, owners often struggle with creating a clear vision for where they want the business to be in the future. For architects, who already face a daunting set of uncertainties, a lack of vision could prove to be detrimental to their business.
 
Vision is one of the many topics that Archibiz covers during their “Designing Architectural Practice Success” (DAPS) course. The eight-week program, led by Archibiz co-founder and business coach Ray Brown, is structured to help architects develop and accelerate their practices by teaching them the foundational areas of business. 
 
We’re excited to announce that Archibiz and ArchiTeam are teaming up to offer the DAPS course exclusively to ArchiTeam members for the first time.
 
In the past, architects who have taken the course faced different challenges. Some were looking for guidance on how to scale their practice, while others were in the budding stages of growing their startups. This variety among the group presents a unique opportunity for architects to grow with and from their peers, observing how others may have dealt with obstacles they could soon face.
 
In addition to vision, the DAPS course also covers finance, business development and marketing, structure, leadership and management. The course, which is held over eight Zoom meetings, also includes a 30-minute on-boarding call to discuss specific business goals, a 60-minute individual coaching call and a 65-page workbook with downloadable tools and templates. 
 
Here’s a short video (2min) with ArchiTeam member, Thom McKenzie of Winwood McKenzie [https://vimeo.com/437043699], sharing his thoughts about the value of the course and how it’s transformed his practice since completing it last year.
 
The course is being offered to ArchiTeam members at the special price of $2,400+GST (usually $2,900+GST). Only 10 places are available for this exclusive ArchiTeam cohort which starts on Wednesday 5th August. You can download the course outline here [INSERT FILE ATTACHED] and to register your interest in learning more head here https://archibiz.ck.page/9ed0e69b24.
