This is the ninth recorded episode of The Broke Architect Podcast brought to you by the Global Architect Alliance (GAA). In this episode I talk to an architect who is a director of a residential practice based in the North West of the England. The architect wanted to remain anonymous due to the contents of what is discussed. We discuss issues of running a practice, stress, low fees, a failing planning system and how unqualified designers are undercutting architects who have no insurance and limited overheads. 

Should you be facing issues such as those discussed in this episode a range of help is available. The Architects Benevolent Society founded in 1850 exists to support the architectural community and their families and can help you in a range of ways during your working life, or once you have retired.. https://www.absnet.org.uk/get-help/
