The client strikes back
Hay, George
The client strikes back - 2005 - Building 270(8384) 3 June 2005, 26-28(3) .
Warns of the potential conflicts caused by the BPF's proposal to give clients their own form of template for dealing with consultants. The clients hope to use the agreement as an industry standard but consultants have not signed whilst the RIBA and the Association of Consulting Engineers are already advising their members to reject it. Both organisations are concerned that the consultants will be liable for increased costs should a project fail.
