Thin line divides sharp practice and malpractice

Article Abstract:

There is a very fine line between sharp practice and malpractice in architecture, but that line may be judged very harshly if events are against you. A surveyor in a recent case arranged for major demolition and alterations on a listed building without have consent, having advised the client that the work should be undertaken using an incremental approach. Ultimately both the surveyor and the client were implicated in what was a criminal act. It is one example of gross misconduct that the disciplinary committee of the ARB should be dealing with.
