SPEAKING OUT

摘要

When Maggie Thatcher outlawed RIBA fee scales, she did us a favour of sorts. British architects have been free to shape and price their services flexibly and are forced to work out their costs in order to negotiate. German and some other EU architects remain protected by their fixed service and fee model and don't understand their costs. So when him came along, we were free to redefine our services and fees; they were not. They are on the sidelines, not competing.
