Jennifer Reyes Case study #1

In this case study, the owner went behind the architect’s back and decided to change the concrete with the independent construction company superintendent. That way the owner enjoyed all the money that was being saved without the architecture knowledge. Which that would be the problem if anything happens to the house or project the architect would be held accountable. This is mainly because the responsibility of the architect has always been to protect the health, welfare and the safety of the public.

So what I believe the first thing the architect should do is not sign off on the concrete that is being used. Then report to the department of building what that the construction company is using cheap or “lighter” concrete on the project that way they could be in charge of looking into it and make sure everyone that is in the project is doing everything correctly. That way the architect isn’t held accountable for any damage that may occur in the future.
