Quotes and contracts

We are being asked by our architect to sign a contract which includes "Preliminary estimate of project cost at date of signing contract". The figures included are exactly as given on the architects original quote - which we negotiated downward in discussions with him but the revised figures have not been included in this contract. "Specific Conditions" state that the architect's fee cannot be revised unless construction costs increase.

It seems strange to accept  "preliminary" costs but it's obvious that we will not get a final quote unless we sign this contract, by which time we'll be contractually obliged to accept!

Any advice?
