520 _aConsiders whether design and build as a form of procurement is efficient; how architects can control the quality of the product, particularly when acting as the employer`s agent and assesses implications for architects who switch from acting for the employer to the contractor. Argues that it is essential to adopt an approach which achieves a balance between efficiency and control over quality, emphasising the need for architects acting for the employer, to agree a level of quality with the client at the outset. Highlights the legal position, standards at risk and evident advantages.
