The architect bases his professional charge upon the entire cost (to the owner) of the building when completed, including all fixtures necessary to render it fit for occupation, and is entitled to additional compensation for the furniture or other articles designed, selected or purchased by the architect.

If any material or work used in the construction of the building be already upon the ground, or come in possession of the owner without expense to him the value of said material or work is to be added to the sum actually expended upon the buildings, before the architect's commission is computed.

SUPERVISION OF WORKS

The supervision or superintendence of an architect (As distinguished from the continuous personal superintendence which may be secured by the employment of clerk of the works) means such inspection by the architect, or his deputy, of a building or other work in process of erection, completion or alteration, as he finds necessary to ascertain whether it is being executed in conformity with his designs and specifixations, or directions, and to enable him to decide when the successive installments or payments provided for in the contract or agreement are due or payable. He is to determine in constructive emergencies, to order necessary changes, and to define the true intent and meanings of the drawings and specifications; and he has authority to stop the progress of the work and order its removal when not in accordance with them.

CLERK OF THE WORKS

On buildings where it is deemed necessary to employ a clerk of the works, the remuneration of said clerk is to be paid by the owner or owners, an addition to any commissions or fees due the architect. The selection or dismissal of the clerk of the works is to be subject to the approval of the architect.

EXTRA SERVICES

Consultation fees for professional advice are to be paid in proportion to the importance of the querstions involved, at the discretion of the architect.

None of the charges above enumerated cover professional or legal services connected with negotiations for sites, disputed party walls, right of light, measurement of work, or services incidental to arrangements consequent upon the failure of contractors during the performance of the work. When such service becomes necessary, they shall be charged for according to time and trouble involved.

DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

Drawings and specifications, as instruments of service, are the property of the architect.

The office services shall consist of original and duplicate sets of drawing and specifications. Both originals and duplicates are included as the property of the architect.

The architectural association of Missouri also endorses the following resolution, passed by the Western Association of Architects.

PRACTICE

Resolved, that in his relations to his clients and contractors, the architect should be an impartial arbitrator; and, that under no circumstances should he act as a special pleader for either party.

Resolved, that the relations between architects and clients should be confidential, and that no architect is worthy of employment who is unworthy of trust.

Resolved, that it is the sense of this association that it is desirable that the architect in all cases superintend the work designed by him.

Resolved, that in cases where for special reasons, the architect does not superintend the work designed by him, his responsibility ceases with the delivery and acceptance of the plans, unless by expert testimony it can be proven that the plans were defective.

The foregoing resolutions and schedule of charges are adopted by THE TEXAS STATE ASSOCIATION OF ARCHITECTS.
