4 Easy Ways Architects Can Use Their Own Domains To Make Money
Filed Under Careers | Comments Off
Sen Ze asked:
Architecture is a highly respected career and field of business to be evolved in. It requires a great level of intelligence, creativity, discipline and hard work to become an established architect (let alone a highly successful one) in your country or region, no matter which part of the world you are from.
As an architect, your knowledge and experience is as valuable as your skill and simply by securing a domain (which is your own name, so you can build up your reputation on the Internet), setting up a blog and securing other basic tools such as a payment system, you can quite easily start to build an additional supplementary income online through the following ways.
1.Provide Information Via E-Mail To Members
After years or studying the craft and working as an architect, you are bound to be full of useful and practical information that you can provide to interested readers. While you can utilize some of this knowledge into writing your blog posts, an additional way to disseminate information would be to send them out to members of your mailing list.
Of course, since your information is highly valuable and useful, people may want to pay you a membership fee in order to be accorded onto the list. These individuals can be students of architecture, young professional architects or anyone who has an interest in architecture, really. In return, you simply send out an e-mail every week to these members. You can probably even automate this process so it can be sent automatically to your customers on a weekly basis.
2.Write Useful E-books
Another way for you to make money is to write books. Of course, you don’t want to be bogged down by the costs of printing, publishing or distributing your books, so you can create them in an electronic format instead, such as a PDF document.
Your books needn’t be long - just choose a topic related to architecture that you happen to have a truckload of expertise in and write out a practical and useful book that visitors to your website will find useful. Then, of course, you put it up for sale on your blog! Since you don’t have any overhead costs, you can sell your book at a low price and keep the full selling cost as your profit!
3.Provide Referrals Or Consultation
Providing referrals is a great way of making money that doesn’t even require you to do work! All you need is to compile a list of architects from all over your country or region. Then whenever any one of your blog readers requests work that you cannot provide for whatever reason (usually logistical, since your readers will be from all over the world!), you can provide a referral to one of your contacts. In exchange, your grateful contact will pay you a referral fee!
Of course, if you are able to help your reader, then you can create additional income for yourself by providing consultation to him or her for a fee.
4.Create Opportunities By Having An Online Presence
Aside from selling products or your services to make an income, there are innumerable amounts of ways that your website can help you. The contacts you make through your website can help you secure contacts, get you a job in a prestigious company, boost your reputation, become joint venture partners, friends or any number of mutually beneficial things.
The most important thing, of course, is that you do have a domain and blog, and take advantage of the great financial and career benefits that an online presence of your services and expertise can provide you.

How Architects Can Easily Choose Vertical Blinds
Filed Under Diy | Comments Off
Judith Persit asked:
ure is the process by which a structure is designed and planned. Architects are professionals who are trained and expert in building planning and function. As part of this process, architects will often be asked to develop the interiors of a facility. This is not out of the question, as the form and function are part of the general task, and an architect should be on the forefront of design. As a result, one should not be surprised to be asked to help layout the offices and select furnishings. On the contrary, architects should do these as a matter of course in their designs. When planning the layout of the interior, the plans will indicate how the space shall be engaged. This is not just for simplicity, but for function as well. It is imperative that the restrooms be indicated for plumbing. In the same way, one can begin to know about which types of window treatments are called for in the building spaces. Once the needs are setup, one can begin to seek out the products, and thus the suppliers of the blinds in a project. For a proper selection of a supplier for vertical blinds, a professional will want to know the supplier well. Standard blinds may be very easy and seem simple, and more complicated specified vertical blinds may be very difficult to match, and thus more expensive than needed. Vertical blinds come in many different control systems. The controls system durability is important, but the reality is that the material hanging, the vertical blinds slats are more likely to be damaged and broken prior to any real destruction of a decent vertical blind track. Thus, the blinds supplier should offer a high quality, but not necessarily an extreme, track system. A blinds supplier should be able to easily state whether their vertical blinds, or horizontal blinds, will meet with your needs. There may be a tendency for them to simply pass a low quotation price, but when this quotation arrives, one should be prepared to explain the performance attributes of the vertical blinds tracks, as well as the characteristics of the material in the slats. The same should apply to wood blinds and mini blinds. A blinds supplier that cannot answer the technical specifications may not be a top-level supplier, so one should take care in these bids. It is, however, not appropriate to reject all bids for blinds that lack specifics. The details that you may seek might not be the same as a different project, so it is recommended for planners to request the details by listing them. At the same time, it is also incumbent on a project planner, such as an architect, to consider all bids, including those from suppliers who are new to the business. New suppliers will often be more aggressive and this aggression sometimes will result in a higher level of service and support. The same applies to considering blinds suppliers on the internet. The vertical blinds from some websites are high quality and are capable for demanding environments. Contact the site management to learn about their capabilities, and to ensure that they are decent for your needs. An architect is concerned to ensure that the project goes well for his or her part. The blinds element of the project can be very basic and easy, but an architect should be prepared to work with this element, whether planning a home addition, remodeling, or a large campus style project. Vertical blinds are a technical element, complementing a design, as can wood blinds detract from the planning.

Check Out Hhh Architects For Architectural Projects At Gold Coast
Filed Under Small Business | Comments Off
search rankpros asked:
Since its formation on the Gold Coast 30 years ago, HHH architects have sought to develop a multi-disciplined office that has the ability and expertise to address any nature of complex design scenarios. The design capabilities and professional experience of the practice has developed a hierarchy of ideas about form, space and the environment.
Our architects work on projects across Corporate Commercial, Education and Childcare, Hospitality, Multi Residential, Residential, Retail, Retirement Health and Green Architecture.
Corporate Commercial
To produce buildings and interiors where people can work involves having an understanding of the intricate processes of the commercial world. The nature of the built environment can affect long term staff retention, office moral, communication between workers, and in turn profitability of the project and business. At HHH, Gold Coast\’s leading Architects, we listen to our client\’s requirements and apply their project brief within a commercial framework to produce innovative and functional solutions.
Residential
When making spaces for people to live, the priority of the practice is to design for a long term pleasure in use. We believe that this involves providing places for people that offer the opportunity to connect with the immediate and greater landscape.
On the Gold Coast, lifestyle is very important and our clients love to enjoy the range of environments the Gold Coast provides. From waterfront living, golf course or canal living, acreage property to high rise apartment living, our architects can work closely with you to create the lifestyle that you want to live.
Retirement Health
HHH have applied their skill base to provide stimulating and nurturing environments for retirement and healthcare. Our experience in this area of architecture has lead to many successful projects throughout Queensland and New South Wales. Our clients have benefited from our knowledge level in all aspects of the design process from planning approval through to the built form.
Green Architecture
Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) is more than a popular catchphrase here at HHH. We support the need for sustainable development and with the capability of delivering buildings with a high environmental performance we are well placed in the industry to achieve those goals. ESD is applicable to all aspects of the design process and is a high priority. We work towards producing buildings with the best sustainable result possible.
Our environmentally-conscious design techniques implement our leading edge skills in architectural design. Sustainable architecture is built around the larger areas of sustainability and economics. In the broad sense, sustainable architecture seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by enhancing efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space.
Even though we are Gold Coast Architects, we work closely with clients both nationally and internationally on local and other projects. Our extensive knowledge of Gold Coast architecture, local planning processes and the environment, will help us to help your project to succeed.
