Architects to pay the price of negligence
Brewer, G
Architects to pay the price of negligence - 2000 - Contract Journal 406(6302) 8 November 2000, 25(1) .
Looks at the implications of architects transferring design detail of building components to subcontractors. Problems arise when architects neglect their co-ordination role and thus allow subcontractors to opt for cheap methods. Examines the recent case between "Baxall Securities and Sheard Walshaw Partnership" where Sheard Walshaw was held liable for damages for roof under-design of a warehouse drainage system, for which subcontractor FK Roofing approved the design rate without the architects supervision.
