Early in the construction document phase of a building renovation project, a
mechanical engineer alerts the project manager that the architect has improperly
classified the use of the space. The architect will need to revise the use of the space
so that the mechanical engineer can correctly size a large portion of the HVAC
system and revise the distribution duct layout.
What should the architect do first to address the improper classification?
a)Submit a request for additional services.
b)Take corrective actions to modify the project work plan.
c)Identify the impact on the previous construction cost estimate.
d)Advise the owner of the design conditions and their impact on the schedule.

Explanation: Taking corrective action if a project is not performing
according to the project work plan is the first step the architect should take.
The architect should identify the root cause for the error and define a path
forward to resolving it prior to discussion with the owner.
Topic: Project Work Planning
An architect hires a structural engineer consultant for a new condominium project.
Five days before the design document drawings are due, the owner requests that a
rooftop garden and patio be included in the project. The structural engineer sends an
e-mail to the architect, requesting additional time and compensation for the
incorporation of the new roof modifications.
If an e-mail is an approved form of documentation according to the consultant
contract, what action should the architect take?
a)Forward the e-mail request with a description to the owner for review and approval.
b)Attach the e-mail to the owner's design document deliverables and invoice for
payment.
c)Reply to the e-mail asking the engineer to send their request to the architect in the
form of a letter.
