It’s all about the Money: Learning from Barristers – Source Article A04
The Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase Two Report lays bare a harsh reality: inadequate fees can lead to under-resourced teams, rushed designs, and compromised safety. It’s an issue that the UK architectural profession must confront.
The article, "It's All About the Money: Learning from Barristers," explores the origins of this problem, tracing it back to the 1980s abandonment of RIBA fee scales and comparing it with the regulatory frameworks of the legal profession. Unlike architects, barristers adopted value-based fee models that balance fair compensation with professional accountability, allowing them to maintain high standards while avoiding the "race to the bottom”.
By drawing lessons from the legal sector, architects can adopt transparent fee structures, emphasise the value of their expertise, and champion fair pay. Addressing these challenges isn’t just about compensation - it’s about ensuring safety, compliance, and the integrity of the profession.
