You’ll take the first five minutes of class to answer this week's question alone, but if you would like to get a head-start on that, here is the assignment:
An architect is designing a new apartment building. The owner has a separate contract with the structural engineer. After the 100% CD set is issued to the contractor for construction, the structural engineer increases the floor beam size due to a miscalculation of the seismic load. As a result, the plumbing engineer needs to reroute the sanitary stack and the architect must redesign the bathroom layouts to accommodate a new chase.
What should the architect do first?
a. Incorporate the changes into the drawings and issue a revision to the contractor.
b. Revise the drawings and send an invoice to the structural engineer for additional design fee due to their errors.
c. Submit an additional service request to the owner for approval prior to incorporating changes into the drawings.
