MH 12/13904/101 Folio 137. Letter from Sampson Kempthorne of Clarges Street to the [Poor Law Commission]...
Folio 137. Letter from Sampson Kempthorne of Clarges Street to the [Poor Law Commission] referring to the architects' charges levied on the Bromsgrove Poor Law Union. He confirms that he considers that it is the legal right of architects to a separate charge for making and valuing extra work done by the builders. Such work would normally be carried out by surveyors at a charge of 2½%. The fact that Sir John Soane did not charge for such work is not a precedent as he was an architect attached to the Board of Works at a salary of £500 per annum. Recent rates of 3% given to architects employed by the government exonerate them from carrying out all items of work. However it is considered that Bateman and Drury have laid themselves open to the construction which the guardians have put upon them. The item of measuring and levelling land and making plan and section of same does form the duty of the architect, and if the site had been previously fixed upon and pointed out to him this ought to have been included in the 4% as part of the superintendence. Any suggestion that there is any reference in the letter from [Geoffrey Gerald Scott] to the discreditable practice of receiving a commission from the builder is refuted. Poor Law Union Number 526. Counties: Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire.
