How will your responsibilities differ as a licensed architect? How will your ensure quality control?
My office will be organized into project teams. Project managers will be responsible for day-to-day communications with clients and consultants as well as delegation of tasks to draftsmen and architectural interns. As the licensed architect I will act as the principle-in-charge and ultimately be in responsible control of all instruments of service produced by the office. It will also be my duty to negotiate and execute contractual agreements. To ensure quality control all project managers will be responsible for reviewing work prepared by draftsmen and interns for accuracy. To further ensure quality control I may seek third-party peer reviews, form joint-ventures with firms experienced in specific project-types, or consult with contractors for pre-construction or cost-estimation services to maintain appropriate project costs.
