There are numerous alarming problems with this case study. Starting off the architect brings their child to meetings. What’s wrong with this is that she probably will not be giving her full attention in the meeting, additionally it is not professional.

To add on, she only recommended one contractor where she should be supplying client with multiple options. Furthermore, the architect supplied one page of work that may be needed. There are no working drawings, specs or even signed contracts. On the general contractor’s end, they created an invoice of $700,000 without getting quotes for materials from suppliers or even doing a take-off. To put the cherry moreover the invoice the GC provided was hand written with pencil and not referenced in contracts or signed. I hope this was all a made-up situation strictly for learning purposes because this is not how work should be performed.
