Basics: Budgeting is a step-by-step guide to cost planning across the full planning and construction phase, teaching inexperienced practitioners how to estimate costs, evaluate financial risks, and manage budgets with confidence. 25–40 words, grounded in practice.
About This Book
Cost planning is one of the most practically demanding — and most under-taught — disciplines in architectural education. Basics: Budgeting addresses this gap directly, walking emerging practitioners through the processes of cost estimation, risk evaluation, and budget management as they occur across the planning and construction phases. Rather than treating financial oversight as peripheral to design, the book frames it as a core competency. Practical tips, worked examples, and clear illustrations make abstract concepts tangible, giving students and early-career architects the tools to enter budget management informed and aligned with real-world practice.
