A licensed architect’s responsibilities are outlined in both the California Architect’s Practice Act and the Owner-Architect Agreement, AIA B101. The architect is charged with acting in accordance with the standard-of-care in preparation and administration (responsible control) of the instruments of service in connection with a contracted project. If a construction manager were involved in the job many of the administrative roles typically filled by the architect may be transferred into the control of the construction manager. These roles, which should be clearly defined in the owner-construction manager agreement (AIA#), could include creating and maintaining a project budget, creating and maintaining a project schedule, processing submittals as an intermediate between the contractor and architect, preparing change orders for architect/owner/contractor approval, reviewing contractor’s applications for payment and schedule of values, as well as other administrative tasks in connection with the execution of the contract for construction.
