The Project Architect Sample Clauses
The 'Project Architect' clause defines the role, responsibilities, and authority of the architect assigned to a specific project. Typically, this clause outlines the architect's duties in overseeing design, coordinating with consultants, and serving as the primary point of contact for the client and contractor. It may specify the architect's decision-making powers regarding design intent, approvals, and site visits. The core function of this clause is to clearly establish the architect's position and scope within the project team, ensuring all parties understand who is responsible for architectural decisions and project coordination.
