I met with Architect again to discuss my concerns and though Architect did acknowledge that the contract was written "to protect him", it didn't seem he was open to the idea of making the contract more balanced by establishing responsibilities for the owner AND the architect. I modified the agreement and truly paid attention that the risk and responsibilities are equally shared. I also specified deliverable schedule based on our initial discussion. After having emailed him revised version of the contract, I was told that these are comprehensive changes and in the meantime (in about a week) he signed onto 2 (two) other big projects. I never heard back from him again.
Contract is the most important aspect of any work, because it represents a framework for the work, delivery, schedule(!), quality, guidelines/zone codes followed. Also, contract also sets out rules on what happens if things go wrong at any stage.
If the party is unable to put in writing what they promise in words, what is the credibility of such party?
