PROJECT METHODOLOGY
The Architect shall not be required to make exhaustive or
continuous 8-hour on-site supervision to check on the
quality of the work involved and shall not be held
responsible for the Contractor's failure to carry out the
Construction work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. During such project site visits and on the basis
of his observations, he shall report to the Client defects and
deficiencies noted in the work of Contractors, and shall
condemn work found failing to conform to the Contract
Documents.
4.) Determines the amount owing and due to the
Contractor and issues corresponding Certificates for
Payment for such amounts based on his observations and
the Contractor's Applications for Payment. These
Certificates will constitute a certification to the Client that
the work has progressed to the state indicated and that to
his best knowledge, the quality of work performed by the
Contractor is in accordance with the Contract Documents.
The Architect shall conduct the necessary inspection to
determine the date of substantial and final completion and
issue the final Certificate of Payment to the Contractor.
5.) Should more extensive inspection or full-time (8-hour)
construction supervision be required by the Client, a
separate full-time supervisor shall be hired and agreed
upon by the Owner and the Architect subject to the
conditions of a contract. When the Architect is requested
by the Owner to do the full time supervision, his services
and fees shall be covered separately.
