Delegated design
Give this one a try later!
The curtain wall and roof trusses each have a note on the drawings: "Design
by others." The design of the roof trusses and the curtain wall has been
delegated to the contractor, who, in turn, ask the fabricator's engineers to
draw up these specialty technical assemblies.
Sole proprietorship: When a single person goes into business with no separation of
personal and business liabilities
General partnership: When two or more people go into business together with no
separation of personal and business liabilities
In both cases, you can lose your own family's house because of a design error. That's
why registering as an LLC or LLP is better for an architecture firm.

Owner must provide drawings, manuals, building operational costs, appeal
for certifications, ensure design fits sustainability guidelines, comply with
authorities on ownership and operations.

,Architect-lead design-build team
Give this one a try later!
Some firms are integrated design-build entities, with architects and builders
on staff permanently. In other instances, an architecture-only firm will team
up with a construction-only firm, agree to work together and (mostly) not
sue one another, and hire lawyers to create a formal strategic alliance or
joint venture so they can together present the owner with a single design-
build contract. This partnership may be contractor-lead, or it may be
architect-lead.
The architect, in an architect-lead design-build team, is responsible for:
- Coordinating drawings with consultants (as in other contract flavors), but
also. . .
- Project schedule and budget (that's different than we're used to)
- Control of the construction means and methods and site safety (that's
very different than we're used to)
The architect assumes the risk of both the traditional architect and that of
the traditional contractor. He must visit his insurance agent and purchase
new expensive insurance policies!
Process-based quality controls

Semi-automated quality management with little-to-no human input, for
example BIM automated code review and clash detection.
Descriptive Specification
, Give this one a try later!
Type of performance spec. Gives detailed written requirements for the
material or product and the workmanship required for its fabrication and
installation. Does not mention trade names. Can be very difficult to write.
work = all the construction required to meet the obligations of these particular
contract documents
project = may include buildings constructed by other contractors or the owner
ex - movie theater with restaurant attached (two separate projects, each with their
own work)

In the AIA contracts, what is "The Work" and what is "The Project?"
not very accurately - The contract (AIA B101) only holds the architect to the following
level of rigor: The architect's estimate shall be based on current area, volume, or
similar conceptual estimating techniques.

How accurately does the architect need to estimate the cost of the work?
