Represent both sides? Actually, conventional architectural practice requires exactly that. In the front end of the job, the architect is working for the owner, collecting fee for doing a design and contract documents. But once a general contractor is hired, and construction begins, the architect impartially administers the project and the deal, ensuring that both parties — owner and contractor — get treated fairly according to the terms of the contract s/he wrote. Even as s/he continues to collect fee from the owner, and is prohibited from receiving any consideration from the contractor. Does this really work? Well, that’s another conversation … Thanks, R Philip Dowds 175 Harvey Street, Unit 5 Cambridge, MA 02140 land: 617.354.6094 mobile: 617.460.4549 email: rpdowds [at] comcast.net <mailto:rpdowds [at] comcast.net> > On Sep 4, 2015, at 1:30 PM, Sue Ellen Hiers <ncdl [at] frontier.com> wrote: > > Just want to say that everyone involved is reputable including the co-ho > consultant.
