One thing that should be noted – O Connell Street is now a centre for entertainment. I stood watching the James Joyce celebrations outside Beshoffs and thought to myself that at last Dublin felt like Europe. Some compromises have to be made for diversity. It was sad to see the trees go – but bring on the changes.
I started my own practise in 1996.
You really need get indemnity insurance, which is costly before you do anything.
Then have a client base to start – so you survive. You will need at least 5 prospective clients even to consider starting.
I did consultancy work for other architects – whilst waiting to gain my own client base.
You need to decide what area you will work at.
Residential – larger number of clients
Commercial – fewer number of client but greater workload
Get drafting service numbers – for times when you need to offload
Well worth it though, work own hours.
