Architect's liability for the acts of independent consultants who are retained to perform professional services

Negotiated before construction docs are completed. Fair, flexible, and allows the owner to benefit from fluctuating market conditions by modifying the program materials as work progresses.

Requires a project architect or designated quality control review were to check the work immediately before it is distributed to the user. At how to catch any errors and they have been made, that has the disadvantage of detecting them at a very end of the process when they may be more costly to fix went I may not allow for comprehensive revision of the trying affected.

Requires periodic checks off to work while it is being developed. For example periodic checks it's may be generated for the reviewer when the project is 25%, 50%, 90% complete. This allows the reviewer to pick up errors earlier in the process and its intended to produce a better coordinated set of documents.
