I believe that the architect should report this activity to the D.O.B. As a licensed architect you will be held accountable for this issue. The superintendent of the construction should have been using the right amount of cement and is to be reported because this work goes against building codes. The architect should not sign the contractor’s requisition because this work is unacceptable.
The architect should also check if the contractor is licensed under the state laws. If the individual is not licensed this should also be reported to ensure public safety. Since the contract has been broken between owner, contractor, and architect new changes must be made before the work can be considered acceptable and a new contract must be made between all parties.
