Case 2: Owner’s Contracts

 

                                                             OWNER

          ARCHITECT                                                                  GENERAL CONSTRACTOR

 

 

          CONSULTANTS                                                                     SUBCONTRACTOR

 

 

During this situation I see the owner being very cheap. The architect has to communicate with each supplier because there is no general contractor. However, this will cause many delays because the architect basically has most of the work on his hand. This situation will take forever to satisfy. The owner make this situation worst because he’s contracted with many different material supplies and specialty subcontractor directly and not through the general contractor. If there was an general contractor the job would flow better under control and supervision.

  1. Hi Jamar Your diagrams didn’t post correctly.

    In a traditional deign-bid-build contact who deals with the suppliers? Did the case study say the architect had to deal with the suppliers? Would another type of contract better suit this owner?
