Excerpt from Design of a Modern Steel Mill Building: Thesis
The art of designing and constructing factory buildings of the type commonly known as Mill Buildings is a distinct branch of engineering work. The author believes that a great deal of capital is expended uselessly through the making of individual designs, because of the time spent on the design, the lettino of contracts, the fabrication of the various parts; because of money spent during this period due to advancing costs; and because of lack of co-operation between the Owner, the Engineer, and the Contractor. In order to obviate these difficulties a great many organizations have been formed in this country, known as Engineers and Contractors who do their work on a cost plus commission basis. They have standardized their designs of the various parts of the buildings, the details, their specifications, their basic costs, their account - ing, and their methods of construction, and are thus able to eliminate a great waste of time and materials.
