Step Six: Construction
This final step is often the most anxiety-producing part of the
whole process. Up until now, your project has been confined to intense
discussion, planning, and two dimensional renderings. When construction
begins, your project moves from abstraction to a physical reality.
Our involvement normally does not stop with the preparation of
construction documents. We also provide construction administration
services. These services may include assisting you in hiring the
contractor, making site visits, reviewing and approving the contractor's
applications for payment, and keeping you informed of the project's
progress.
Although we observe construction, the contractor is solely responsible
for the construction methods, techniques, schedules, and procedures.
The contractor supervises and directs the construction work on the
project.
This final phase usually constitutes 15% of our basic architectural
fee.
