Scope and content

Pritchard states that any economies made in the building of Lawn Road Flats were not expected to result in unsatisfactory work. Reference is made to a letter written by Cyril Sweett. Pritchard is alarmed at Coates' reference to cheeseparing, as any omissions in the contract were on his advice. The purchase and subsequent unsuitability of "paintcrete" is discussed. Enquiries are made about extra costs involved in the contract.
