The costs of running an architectural practice consist of fixed and discretionary (controllable) technical and non-technical staff salaries and overheads. Overheads are the non-project-based costs of running a practice and include administrative staff costs, premises, office equipment, motor vehicles, insurance, printing and stationery, to name just a few.
