Project management

• Bidding or Negotiation. Here the architect helps you solicit bids from a list of contractors who the architect feels are qualified for the project, although you can certainly bring your own contractor to bid. The architect will answer contractor questions to clarify items in the plans or specs, possibly make revisions to the plans or specs, and may negotiate with one or more of the contractors. They will then make recommendations about who can best meet the needs of the clients in terms of quality, cost, and schedule. The owner, however, makes the choice.
• Construction Administration. Here, the architect functions as the owner’s agent, making sure the builder and subcontractors are following the plans and specifications (there’s always room for interpretation), and not cutting corners. It’s important to note, however, that the architect is not contractually “supervising” the contractor and is not liable for faulty work as long as he made the required inspections in good faith. In the construction phase, the contractor will visits the site, often weekly, to inspect the work and answer any questions that arise. Construction administration may also include
  • preparing additional detailed drawings if needed
  • approving the contractor’s requests for progress payments
  • approving any changes to the plans and preparing any required change orders
  • negotiating who should pay for disputed change orders
  • Resolving any issues stemming from conflicts or ambiguity in the plans or specs.

Change orders can result from poorly drawn plans, owner’s requests, “hidden conditions,” material substitutions, or other deviations from the original plans as bid. Who is responsible for the change and who should pay for it is often disputed (more on this under Project Management.) For example, the builder may need to use a larger beam than drawn in the plans, or the owner may visit the building site and decide to have a window enlarged or moved. Hidden conditions can occur when excavations uncover buried ledge interfering with the foundation plans, or carpenters discover hidden termite damage during a remodel.
