Leather and Lace: How Design Professionals Fit in a Termination


The design professional is a chameleon — sometimes in the owner's corner and sometimes in the contractor's. How the architect or engineer should handle the owner terminating a contractor, or a contractor walking off a job, can be fraught with peril. And sometimes the designer needs to walk if an owner makes unreasonable demands or a contractor's work on a project puts him/her in jeopardy.

This session deals with the myriad roles of the designer in handling a termination (or firing) of others and in terminating his/her own work on a project, as well as your role in advising the design team in making (or assisting in) a clean break.
