Architects tend to be naturally wary of contractual provisions entitling the employer to determine a building contract;and rightly so. Prematurely ending a contract - whether it is the contractor that downs tools or the employer that boots them off site - is a high-risk strategy. It usually ends in tears, or worse, for the stakes are high. A wrongly evicted builder is entitled not only to payment of the proper value of their work (which was probably the source of the argument in the first place), but also the profit they would have made had they been allowed to complete the job.
