The Architectural Process - Contract Documentation
This stage generally entails the most work for architects. A detailed description of the building work is put together that will form the contract between the Client and the Contractor. This includes general arrangement drawings, detail drawings, schedules (lists), specifications (written instructions) and contracts. This set of documents will be inspected by the council before they issue a building consent, and by the tenderers in preparing their competitive tender prices. Once construction begins these documents will be used to build from.
During this stage we coordinate the work of any other consultants that are involved in the project and incorporate their information into the documents.
It is important to document thoroughly to ensure a high quality of work and to maintain control over design outcomes during construction.
