ARE CE #13 Flashcards
Who’s responsible for resolving disputes?
Although Architect is “initial decision maker” all 3 parties are responsible for
helping to resolve disputes.
Once the Construction Phase has begun, the Architect is responsible for the paperwork during construction, including:
(name at least 3)
Transmittals, Construction Change Directives, Change Orders, Contractor’s Applications for Certificate of Payment, Submittals and Shop Drawings, Drawing revisions, Approvals, meeting minutes,
phone logs, and field reports.
True or False: Changes made by the owner most often trigger
Additional Services
True! Usually changes by the Owner result in Additional Services since it changes
things already approved.
Can the Architect perform Additional
Services at any time?
No, only with approval by the Owner.
What is the Architect looking for in reviewing
Shop Drawings?
The Architect is reviewing for design and aesthetic intent only. The Contractor is responsible for errors and omissions on the
Shop Drawings.
Can Subcontractors skip the Architect and submit their Shop Drawings to the Owner
instead?
No! The Owner is not expected to understand Shop Drawings and they must be reviewed by the Contractor first and
then they submit to Architect.
