OBJ 2.5 Flashcards
Determine impact of project changes on documentation requirements and methods to communicate those changes to owner and design team (U/A) Architects must incorporate value engineering, changes in scope, and owner or project team comments into the drawing set, and determine the impact of these changes on the project delivery method and schedule. You will also need to recognize when changes in scope or owner/project team comments require the architect to perform additional services.
Scope of Services
The work an architect or consultant will perform for a project including: Evaluating the proposed program, budget, schedule, site, and project delivery method. Assembling the team for the project and reviews and negotiating consultant fees. Providing a schematic design where the architect develops an approach that synthesizes the information gathered about the site and the building and arranges spaces to correspond to and meet requirements. Performing design development where the project is refined and design decisions are considered and confirmed. Drawing up construction documents, the biggest phase, where the working drawings and specifications are produced. Participating in bidding and negotiation where the architect helps the owner bid the project and find a contractor. Carrying out contract administration, where the architect acts as administrator of the contract.
Add Services
Professional services that may, if authorized or confirmed in writing by owner, be rendered for additional compensation, in addition to the basic services identified in the owner-architect agreement.
Add Alternate
Additional project scope to be priced by contractor, which the owner can choose to execute based on project goals and available budget.
ASI
Architectural Supplemental Instructions (ASI) is a document that modifies the contract documents after their original issue. ASIs usually signify small changes in the design and do not affect scope, but rather change or clarify the intent.
Sketch (Architectural, Structural, etc.)
A drawing that is issued after the initial contract documents and addresses a specific portion of the work. Sketches are associated with ASIs, RFI responses, bulletins, and other documents that formally change the scope of work.
