Manual for Selection of Consultants

Christopher Ahoy developed the original version of this manual while he was director of facilities planning & construction at the University of Alaska. He wrote this book to devise "a fair & consistent method for hiring design consultants" & "to train staff to select professional consultants." This manual should be of particular interest to those who work for a public agency, such as a university, or to anyone in the public or private sector who has to contend with "restrictive & elaborate procurement regulations," when they go through the process of hiring a consultant. Consultants can also gain considerable insight into subjects such as selection criteria, RFPs, interviews, fee structures & standard consultant agreements. Also of interest is a section on typical questions asked during interviews that provides a series of challenging questions for architectural & master planning consultants. THE MANUAL FOR SELECTION OF CONSULTANTS is both an educational tool for beginners & a workbook for more experienced facility managers & consultants. Either way, it is a worthwhile resource.
