What sort of duties do Architects and builders owe to their clients ?
A. Architects and builders owe concurrent duties to their clients in contract and in negligence. As with accountants and auditors, architects and builders also owe a duty of care to third parties in negligence provided those third parties could reasonably be expected to have been injured through negligence of the architects and builders. The standard of care required of architects and builders is the skill, care and diligence of a reasonable professional performing similar duties.
