<br />TKDA architect, submitted an estimate for inspection services
<br />which would run an additional $3,000 to $4,500. Mottaz and

<br />tectural fees of the contract. No inspections are provided
<br />for in the contract. The Building Inspector feels he can
<br />handle a portion of the inspections.
