Building construction
W
hen
an
architect
receives
a
commission
for
a
building,
he
meets
the
client
and
discusses
his
requirements.
After
visiting
the
site,
the
architect
draws
up
preliminary
plans
and,
together
with
a
rough
estimate
of
the
cost,
submits
them
to
the
client
for
his
approval.
If
the
client
suggests
changes,
the
architect
incorporates
them
into
the
final
design
which
shows
the
exact
dimension
of
every
part
of
the
building.
At
this
stage,
several
building
contractors
are
invited
to
bid
for
the
job
of
constructing
the
building.
When
they
submit
their
tenders
or
prices,
the
architect
assists
his
client
in
selecting
the
best
one
and
helps
him
to draw up a contract
between
the client
and
the contractor.
Work now starts on the building. As construction proceeds, the architect makes periodic inspections to make sure that the building is being constructed according to his plans and that the materials specified in the contract are being used. During the building period, the client pays the bills from the contractor. Subsequently, the contractor completes the building and the client occupies it. For six months after completion there is a period known as the ‘defects liability period’. During this period, the contractor must correct any defects that appear in the fabric of the building. Finally, when all the defects have been corrected, the client takes full possession of the building.
