Hugh's advice on becoming your own expert is advice worth taking. As owner 
of the project, you must make sure you get exactly what you want. The 
contractor and architect do not share your motives. The contractor wants 
to build it as quickly and cheaply as possible to maximize revenue and 
incentives (if there are any) and will cut corners if possible. The 
architect looks at the design and not necessarily the functions taking 
place within and around the structure. As owner, you must come equipped 
with knowledge and experts to every meeting where decisions are being made 
about your future archival repository and make sure your voice is not only 
heard, but obeyed.
