Payment for an architect’s work under contract is secured by statute, on improvements to real estate, by a lien. A later contract does not extend the time to file for the first contract. Separately from the earlier work, the parties’ documents showed intent to contract for later work, and not as an extension of the earlier work. Even if the later work would have been an addition to the earlier contract, the later work was not lienable because it consisted only of meetings and not improvements to real estate.
