1.Schematic Design Phase

 

Based upon initial program information and site information provided by the Owner, the Architect shall develop conceptual layouts exploring alternative strategies for design of the project. Studies will include the evaluation of different development options for the property. These alternatives will be evaluated on the basis of aesthetic considerations, cost impact, and marketability, and a preferred scheme will be selected by the Owner. Based on the approved scheme, the Architect will prepare Schematic Design Documents which shall describe the design concept, including vehicular and pedestrian circulation, common areas, preliminary concepts for the exterior treatment of the Project, and diagrammatic layouts of major components of the program adequate to explain the Project's organization. The Schematic Design Documents shall include drawings and outline specifications adequate for a first budget estimate by the Owner's Cost Consultant/ Estimator or General Contractor.

 

2.Design Development Phase

 

Based on the Schematic Design Documents and budget estimates approved by the Owner and any adjustments directed or authorized by the Owner, the Architect shall prepare Design Development Documents consisting of drawings and other documents to fix and describe the size and character of the Project as to architectural materials and other such elements as may be appropriate. Design Development Documents shall be adequate to define the Project in terms of its size and character, and the quantity and quality of materials to be used, so that estimates may be made by the Owner's Cost Consultant/ Estimator or General Contractor for the purpose of establishing a maximum probable construction cost.

 

3.Contract Document Phase

 

Based on designs, studies, budget estimates, and other documents prepared in the Design Development Phase and approved by the Owner, the Architect shall prepare the drawings, specifications, and other documents that are necessary for the construction of the Project, based upon this scope of services.

 

4.Contract Administration Phase

 

The Architect shall provide administration of the Contract for Construction as a representative of the Owner during the Construction Phase; shall visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the work; and determine in general if the work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents.

 

The Architect shall review the Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples and shall review the amounts owing to the Contractor based on observations at the site and on evaluations of the Contractor's Applications for Payment.
