About Architekwiki

Architekwiki is the project of Rick Wolnitzek

Rick is a retired architect with 30 years of experience running his small architectural firm. The information that you find here was, in most cases, developed by Rick or his firm. He continues to refine the tools and processes he used in practice and offer them as resources - Financial Model Workbook to find the ratios you need to be profitable, SimpleTrends to track how you are really doing, FeeCalqs to develop a fee for any project, DSGNBDGT to quickly create a design budget …

The Vision

The vision for Architekwiki is the creation of a source of ideas, information, links, procedures, checklists, standards, and details all designed to help small-firm architects do their work effectively and profitably.

The Four Areas

Architekwiki covers the four areas of architectural practice - Design, Project Management, Firm Management, and Business Development. ‘Tool’ and ‘Process’ are two of the Topics tags that may be especially useful.
