The Business of Landscape Architecture - Useful Books

While there are many great design books for landscape architecture, good quality books on the business aspects of the profession are in short supply.  Here are some books that I have found interesting or useful.


Landscape Design Documentation: Strategies for Plan Checking and Quality Control
By Brian T. McDonald
ISBN: 0-978-0471-76137-2

This book has two main sections.  First, the book discusses the various functions within a landscape architecture design office and describes the functions and roles found therein.  Second, the book has many detailed quality control checklists to help establish a quality control program within an office.  A CD with MS Word files for the checklists is included on a CD.
