The Structural Engineer, Volume 71, Issue 17, 1993
Whether or not one’s business survives depends on many factors. The extent of personal financial commitments will obviously be significant. This feature has been prepared without reference to fee income and concentrates on practical considerations. It is hoped that it may be of help to those contemplating setting up on their own. E.J. Graves
Multidisciplinary design practice is an interactive approach aimed at producing better buildings. Short lines of communication and a freedom from demarcation produces more vigorous design activity and allows dissective analyses of various solutions. As well as getting a highly integrated design, a client has a singlepoint contact for design responsibility and does not have to act as umpire between feuding disciplines. J.L. Morgan
While good structural design and site experience are prerequisites for success at the Part 3 examination of the Institution, there can be little doubt that attendance at a suitable preparatory course is of considerable help to candidates in improving their prospects of passing. Such courses are available in most branch areas throughout the country, frequently organised with the support and participation of local branch members. For some years members of the North Thames Branch have been actively involved in passing on their structural engineering knowhow to candidates preparing for the Part 3 examination. C. Davies
