Syllabus

<p>Contracts — Building contract — Architect—Arbitration — Pleadings — Evidence.</p> <p>1. Where a building contract provides that a named architect shall determine the amount necessary to be paid the contractor for work to be done, his decision thereon, if made in good faith, is final and binding unless it is challenged in the way provided by the contract, or the subjects considered by him are the result of his own conduct.</p> <p>2. In such case, in order legally to dispute the architect’s award, the pleadings must show the objections made to the award, and the evidence must be limited to those objections.</p>
