Hi,

I am a sole practicing architect and have recently found myself with more work than I can handle on my own. I am looking for someone to help by producing all construction/detail drawings for one particular job I am currently working on.

I am considering outsourcing the work to a firm overseas who specialise in producing construction information but am unsure as to whether this is the best way forward. I mean, the alternative would obviously be to employ a technician/technologist or Part I/II architect. The danger with this is of course that if my work drys up after this project, which let’s face it is not exactly unlikely considering the current climate, then I would have to let that person go.

I would like to hear from anyone who has every found themselves in a similar position or has used one of these specialist firms either at home or abroad.

why don’t you just employ someone on contract?
