Now, let us tell the architect, and that the exces: why such a condition exists under the older-day building system— Some disappointe d building owners in the past have blamed their architects;— The Architect, however, is not the one to blame; unless he attempted to guarantee that the building would not exceed the figure beyond his province. he gave, in which case he stepped The Architect’'s services, even though they may be of the best, are simply professional or advisory. The owner cannot demand from the architect a guarantee covering the work in i tect; who is a member ts entirety and the high class archi- of the American Institute of Archi- tects, will not give any such assurance to the building owner-—because it is a recognized fact within that body of professional men t complex to permit an sively meét and solve stantly arising in the hat the bullding business is too y single individual to comprehen- all of the problems that are con- building construction field. The answer to the above question, therefore, is not hard to make, The principal reasons that so large a majority of bulldings exceed the architect’s estimate are: First—Because the average arthitect does not have the proper assistance from building engin up-to-date estimating plans so as to enable in the shape of advisory services eers, together with that of an department, when preparing his him to give a price to the building owner that is based all the way through on conditions as they exist in the b made; and, Second—Becausé changes his mind, which uilding field at the time plans are very frequently the building owner in turn causes expensive changes in the bullding itself, in which case, of course, no one can be blamed # but the bullding owner himself. ank 7’ To provide a remedy for the decided weaknesses in the oli-time architectural and building methods much is being done to revise the system of handling building operations. The bnndlhs professions and trades are at the pres- ent'time engaged in the task of providing closer cc-opera- tive methods between themselves—new forms of con- tracts are beitg devised and many other activities are apparent, all vith the view of eliminating the ineffi- ciency that has been the terror of the prospective new building owner in days gone by. ' The Modern Building Organization however, is the one modern device which has shown con- clusively, after years of experience, that it is capable of meeting the bullders’ expectations—both from the view- point of a satisfactory building and from the viewpoint of a satisfactory cost price. The Bankers Realty Investment Company is one of the many modern building organizations existing in the United States today that has demonstrated its capacity to meet the demand for better Building Methods. This institution provides for its customers the serv- ices of Architects, Estimating Engineers, General Con- tractors, Material Purchasing Experts and Building Engineers—and our Financlal Department provides financial aseistance to such of our customers as need it. The Bankers Realty Investment Company is a firm that you can make responsible at the very beginning for the satisfactory per- formance of the entire work. If you contemplate building during 1916, get acquainted with our Modern Building organization, which provides for architectural service of the highest order first, and for the handling of every part of the building operation after the plans are approved.
