Custom Residential Architects Network (CRAN)

Learning from the Lakers: Local Promotion Strategies for Custom Residential Architects
September 20 - 22, 2008
Minneapolis, MN
A two day conference designed for custom residential architects interested in starting or re-invigorating a housing committee in their local AIA chapter. Please visit here for additional information.

Best Practice Exchanges: Best Practice Exchanges create opportunities for professionals to share indispensable information and techniques for custom residential practice. Knowledge gained during an exchange gives participating firms an understanding of what is succeeding nationwide. Moreover, they present a unique opportunity to improve your own practice while contributing to a state-of-the-art model for custom residential practices in general.

CRAN Client Survey: The CRAN client survey will gather information about the services most valued by clients and provide performance feedback enabling residential architects to improve the way they do business. This brief and anonymous online survey is available for all CRAN members to administer to their clients. For more detailed information and to access the survey and a letter introducing it to your clients, please contact Bruce Bland.
