Don't just blame design and build
Article Abstract:
Desgin and build contracts are often blamed for the poor quality of building design but the contract is not the main cause of low standards. Design and build contracts have clauses which enable clients to remain involved in the aesthetic aspects of the project throughout construction. Clients should specify the required standards in the contract and exercise their rights to comment on detailed designs and to inspect the work in progress.
