 Each
project we undertake, large or small,
residential or non-residential, proceeds similarly.
We begin with an INITIAL MEETING between Owner
and Architect, the purpose of
which is to establish
the project intent, formulate a Scope of Work, and
to discuss an Overview of the Architectural Services.
The Initial Meeting is followed
up with the submittal
of a PROPOSAL for providing Architectural Services
for the specific
project. The Proposal will generally
outline the Architectural Services to be incorporated
in the project's PHASES as well as a proposed fee
for the Architectural Services.
Upon approval of the Proposal, an AGREEMENT
BETWEEN OWNER AND ARCHITECT is submitted
for review and approval.
The Agreement Between Owner and Architect, incorporates the approved Proposal, and
amongst
other items goes into greater detail regarding Architect's Basic Services, Owner's responsibilites,
compensation, reimbursables, ownership and copyrights, termination, limits of liability, and
any
miscellaneous provisions.
Upon approval of the Agreement Between Owner and Architect, the project proceeds according
to the outlined Phases, incorporating meetings for project document review with the Owner, Bid Distribution, Contractor
Selection, Permit Review Submittal, Permit Approval, and the Construction Phase Services.
The following outlines
each of the Project Overview items noted.
