The Care and Feeding of Individual Consultants and Their Clients
The following material is an article, discussions and closure published in Geotechnical News between
December 2008 and September 2009. The material provides valuable insight into the individual engineering consultant and client relationship that is an important but often neglected area of professional practice. The consensus of the formal and informal discussions is that the key points raised in the article apply also to any effective professional relationship, in particular between consulting firms and their clients, with a particular relevance to small specialty firms. FPP thanks the authors and Geotechnical News for allowing posting on this site.
