- Second Session of Class:
- Three main factors of an Architectural Project. USE à TIMEàBUDGET
USEà Owners Needs
TIMEà Duration of project from start to finish.
Budgetà All Budgets must contain Contingency because changes and unknown factors always occur during construction.
- What does Architecture Do for the Owners?
- Planning and Design
- Schematic Design
- Design Development
- Construction Documents
- Construction Procurement
After each stage the Architect is required to re-estimate the budget and time.
Architect writes up change orders, change orders gets approved by the architecture/owner.
Contractor gets directions from Architecture on what to do. Contactors never make change orders, they can only request.
