I was commissioned to do some sketch plans for a site. Can the client take them to a different architect?

This will depend on what was agreed. In the absence of an agreement the client may have an implied licence to take the plans to another architect, but this will very much depend on the facts of the particular situation. To avoid any doubt it’s always best to have a written agreement.
