Architect's Handbook Available in CD-ROM
The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice (12th Edition) is now available on CD-ROM. Like the familiar four-volume set, it contains sample copies of all AIA contract documents. The digital version permits readers to search the 2,000 page handbook rapidly by key word or topic. Although the text cannot be altered (contracts include the notation, "sample" which cannot be deleted), pages can be easily printed for reference.
The Handbook is being revised, with the new edition available mid-1999. A limited number of the 4-volume sets are still available in the Chapter office. The new CD-ROM version is also available. The cost of either version is $225.

Increased Opportunities for A/E/P
Electric industry buyers believe deregulation will cause them to increase their use of engineering, architecture, planning, and environmental consulting firms, a finding based on a survey conducted by Zweig White & Associates. Nearly 40% of buyers believe design-build will be a more popular project delivery method as a result of deregulation.
The in-depth analysis of how electric deregulation shapes the market for A/E/P and environmental consulting services is part of a 128-page briefing. Call 1-800-466-6275 to order the complete report ($195).
