contract would be able to say distinctly, this

building will do for me as its it is: or this

Objections to
the idea of
finding London
contractors
1. In probability
I should As to an Architect I doubt you
will not find any advantage in getting one from the
country London rather than from Dublin. A
Londoner will know nothing of Dublin prices, nor
Dublin workmen. A principal contractor will
hardly trust his fortune and character with
sub-contractors he is totally unacquainted with.
If he does he must be paid proportionably for
the risk he must run. No man Londoner I should think
would upon any terms undertake such a business
till he had been at Dublin to look after such
sub-contracting workmen sub contractors and enquire about their
prices: but is it to be expected that many candidates,
or even that any one candidate, would go
& leave his business and incurr the trouble and
expence of such a journey for a mere chance?
of what profit may be made upon an expenditure
of 8, or 10,000 £? though to be sure the probable
extension of the plan would be an additional lure.
