Professional Practice (Architecture)

This document discusses different stages of establishing an architecture practice and obtaining clients. In the initial stages, architects can gain clients through acquaintances, competitions, or subcontracting from senior architects. As the practice grows, architects can pursue projects through reference-based work, portfolio-based tendering processes (bidding solely on fee or on concept and fee), or limited competitions. Established practices often respond to requests for proposals where experience, methodology, and fee are all evaluated. Current trends show many Indian architects cannot meet experience and financial prequalification criteria for large projects, so they form international or national alliances. Foreign architects can work in India if they are registered with the local licensing body or get central government permission.
