AGREEMENT BETWEEN ARCHITECT AND CLIENT.
ALBANY, N.Y., December 26, 1889.
TO THE EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN ARCHITECT:
_Dear Sirs_,--As the services which an architect is supposed to render
his client and the compensation for same have been the subject of
considerable loss to us through misunderstanding, we have prepared for
use the enclosed proposition, which covers most cases in our general
practice. In work of such a nature as can't be covered by this
proposition, we prepare one specially suited to the occasion, but in all
cases insist on a written agreement which we consider is fair to both
parties. Should you see in this proposition anything of benefit to the
profession, you are at liberty to use same.
Yours truly, FULLER & WHEELER.
OFFICE OF FULLER & WHEELER, ARCHITECTS,
No. 86 STATE STREET, ALBANY, N.Y., ---- 189 .
PROPOSITION.
Mr.----
We will prepare for you the Preliminary Sketches, General Drawings,
Details and Specifications for proposed----
to be erected at----
for 3-1/2 per cent on the actual cost of same, which is to be determined
by the amount of Mason, Carpenter, Roofer, Plumber, Stone-cutting,
Heating, Ventilating, Iron-workers, Mantel and Elevator Contracts,
including all extras and deductions. In connection with Heating,
Ventilating and Elevator, we will either select the apparatus and
approve the specifications as submitted by the dealers, or prepare plans
and specifications for contractors to estimate on, according to the
character of the work in contemplation, and as in our judgment will
secure the best advantage to you. The cost of hardware, mantel facings,
hearths, back linings, metal bands, electric work and decorations are
also to be included in the total cost of said building, but we are not
required to perform more than our customary work in connection with the
last mentioned items, which is either to select them from manufacturers'
stock or have submitted to us samples, sketches and specifications from
which a selection is made. Any other work, not mentioned above, that we
may be called upon to perform will be charged for at the same rates.
