'Inspection' (as required in this contract) was considered by the judge to be a lesser requirement than 'supervision'.
In relation to both inspection and supervision, the architect's duty was said to be one of exercising reasonable skill and care in seeking to achieve a particular result and not of guaranteeing that a particular result will be achieved (cf. Brown & Brown).
