Second or Third Architect?

Some client relationships end before the project has progressed or while in the middle of a phase, and another architect must be engaged to resume the project. While gaining a new client is generally a desirable thing for a practice, careful consideration must be employed before accepting a job for which the new architect is perhaps a second or third professional to be engaged on the project. Such situations may indicate a difficult owner or untenable project conditions. What must the architect do before accepting work from the owner?

AnswerDetermine whether any agreement is still in effect between the owner and another design professional. This could include either a formal or informal accord. The prior relationship must be severed before the new architect accepts the work.
