Front 10

Record Drawings:

what are 4 things to remember?

Back 10

they show field changes that occurred during construction, which may vary from theinformation shown in the working drawings.

1. They are not as-built drawings.

2. A201 does not cover thepreparation of record drawings, if they are required, generally by the owner; the procedures are usuallyindicated in Division 01 of the specifications.

3. Field changes should be recorded by the contractor on a set of record prints at the site. These notations should be transferred onto a permanent reproducible medium bythe contractor.

4. If the owner wants the architect to do it, it will be considered a Change in Services

Front 11

Substantial Completion:

Back 11

according to A201 – it is the stage in the work when the work or designated portionof the work is sufficiently complete in accordance with the contract document so that the owner can occupyor utilize the work for its intended use.

Front 12

what is the procedure to determine substantial completion? 3

Back 12

1. The contractor decides the point of substantial completion and is required to prepare a punch listthat identifies all the remaining work required by the contract documents, as well as defective anddamaged work that must be replaced or repaired.

* failure of the contractor to include an item ofremaining work on the punch list does not alleviate his/her responsibilities

2. Once the architect receives the punch list, he/she must inspect the work to determine whether it isin fact substantially complete. At that time he architect and owner may add items to the list to becorrected

3. If the architect agrees with the contractor that work is substantially compete, the architect preparesthe Certificate of Substantial Completion

Front 13

Certificate of Substantial Completion (G704):

what 3 items happen when document is granted?

Back 13

document prepared by the architect stating that the work issubstantially complete, thereby establishing the date of substantial completion.

1. fixes the timewithin which the contractor must complete the unfinished work in the punch list.

2. defines theresponsibilities of both the owner and contractor for the provision of security, maintenance, heat, utilities,and liabilities for damages to the work, responsibility to provide insurance while the contractor completesthe work on the punch list.

3.This document has to be signed by the owner, architect, and contractor.

Front 14

Retainage:??

Back 14

the process by which the ownerwithholds money from the contractor as protection against the contractor’s potential failure to completethe work according to the contract documents.

It can also be used by the contractor’s surety company tohelp pay for completing the work in the event of a default by the contractor. For that reason retainageshould not be reduced or released without the written consent of the surety (G707A). If no retainage isstipulated in the contract documents, the owner cannot arbitrarily withhold a part of a payment to thecontractor, unless the architect certifies that work is not being properly performed and that the contractor isnot entitled to the amount requested in the application for payment.

provisions usually found in A101

Front 15

Quality control:

Back 15

involves carefully checking the work (a contract, a set of drawings, a design sketch) beforeit is distributed to the user (owner, contractor, and drafter).

Front 16

Quality Assurance:

Back 16

a supplement to quality control. It requires that in designing, documenting, andconstructing a building, the proper resources and scrutiny are applied to each part of the process.

Front 17

Total Quality Management (TQM):

Back 17

developed in response to the limitations of quality assurance.Quality Control + Quality Assurance + All aspects of service → customer satisfaction (the client, the user, thepublic, and the profession)

Front 18

Statute of Limitations:

Back 18

an ordinance which specifies the period of time within which legal action must bebrought in order to obtain legal relief for damage and injury

Front 19

Liquidated Damages:

Back 19

-included in the Owner/Contractor agreement -It is an amount of money stipulatedin the contract that is chargeable against the contractor as reimbursement for damages suffered by theowner because of the contractor’s failure to fulfill contractual obligations, such as the failure to achievesubstantial completion on time or for bonus payments for early completion of the Work. Liquidateddamages are not a penalty to be inflicted on the contractor. If liquidated damages are to be assessed because delayed construction will result in actual loss to the owner, the amount of damage due for each daylost should be provided for in the Supplementary Conditions of the contract.

Front 20

Mechanics’ Lien / Lien:

Back 20

a claim against someone’s property, not the on the person’s other assets. Itprovides security that labor and materials supplied to construct buildings will be paid in the event of nonpaymentto those who furnished labor and materials (i.e. subcontractors, and material suppliers). It forcesthe sale of the owner’s property in order to satisfy a claim for payment. Clear title to the property cannot beobtained until the claim is settled. Mechanics’ Lien is not permitted on public projects, for that reason, theMiller Act requires labor and material bonds to be acquired by the contractors.

Front 21

what are 3 courses of action that can protect the owner against mechanics’ lien?

Back 21

1. Retainage: by withholding a small percentage of the money owed to the contractor as theconstruction progresses, the owner will have funds to pay for labor and materials if thecontractor fails to make payments. Retainage should never be reduced or released without thewritten permission of the surety company. AIA G707A

2. Labor and material bond: the owner may request the contractor to purchase a labor andmaterials bond, which guarantees payment for labor and materials if the contractor fails to paythem. AIA A312

3. Affidavit and releases of liens: Contractor must submit those in order to get final payment, andin some cases progress payments. AIA G706A

Back 22

FILL IN THE BLAXKS

Front 23

Alternates:

Back 23

Front 27

Area/Volume Estimate:

Back 27

type of cost estimating, used primarily during the Schematic Design (SD)phase because of the lack of details available, to determine a preliminary cost estimate based on cost persquare foot [area] and cost per cubic foot [volume].

Front 28

Subsystems Estimate:

Back 28

type of cost estimating, used when more details become available in a project,usually during the Design Development (DD), and Construction Documents (CD) phase. It deals with aproject’s functional units or assemblies and enables comparisons between different conceptual solutionsduring those design phases.

Front 29

Detailed Estimate:

(Quantity and Cost Method / Labor and Material Method)

Back 29

type ofcost estimating that is usually a change in services in respect to the architect, as it requires a more in depthresearch on cost. For that reason, architects usually hire cost estimating consultants to provide that service.It requires a detailed calculation of the amount of each type of material, and labor necessary to produce therequired construction. Costs per unit of material and labor are applied to the calculated quantities to arriveat the total direct cost of the construction work. Indirect costs must also be added.

Front 30

what 4 items are included in Indirect Costs?

Back 30

1. The contractor’s overhead: insurance, payroll taxes and benefits, general and administrativeexpenses

2. General conditions costs: project signs, drawings and photos, permits, repairs, clean up,engineering surveys and inspections, tests, repairs

3. Contingency amount: construction escalation and unforeseen conditions

4. Contractor’s profit: as a percentage of total direct construction costs

Front 31

Bar Graph Scheduling:

Back 31

indicates the starting and finishing dates of major phases of the work. However, itdoes not indicate the relationship between the sequences of activities or the dependency of an activity onthe completion of the previous activity. It is superior to CPM as a means of visual communication, andinferior to CPM as a management tool

Front 32

CPM – Critical Path Method of Scheduling:

Back 32

a planning and management tool used in constructionplanning & scheduling. The completed CPM diagram is known as the network diagram, which must becontinuous, with no gaps or discontinuities. It requires the contractor to analyze the job logically from startto finish far better than any verbal description or bar graph. The most effective method to save onconstruction time is to reduce the critical path time →reducing critical activities reduces the wholeconstruction schedule.

Front 33

Fast-Track Scheduling:

Back 33

a technique to save an overall time in completing an entire project by combiningthe architect/engineer schedules with the builder’s construction schedule. It requires close coordination,staged bidding, and it is typical to hire a construction manager to supervise the construction process toestablish a degree of control over cost and time, and establish responsibility. Oversights and corrections areto be expected; they are an integral part of fast-track scheduling.

Note: fast-track scheduling is considered tobe an additional service for the architect.
