Continuing the posts on the roles an architect takes on in his job; it’s an obvious one but one I’m sure most forget is ‘Architect as Accountant’<\/em>:<\/p>\n

I posted a FACT SHEET ON HOW THE BUILDER IS PAID<\/a> and it’s the architects role in a traditional Client\/Builder Agreement to undertake the following:<\/p>\n

– Inspect that the works are in accordance with the contract documents
\n– Check that the builders valuation is correct
\n– Calculate payments to date, retention amount etc…
\n– Certify the correct amount for the client to pay<\/p>\n

Now they’re not the most complex calculations out but they are incredibly important. If the architect over certifies then there is a risk that if the builder goes bust; there’s insufficient funds in the kitty to complete the works. <\/p>\n

It is therefore essential that the architect takes this role sensibly and carefully as there can potentially be a lot at risk…<\/p>\n

A short post today but probably one of the most important. Comments welcome as always…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
