The architect's role during construction — reviewing work, answering questions, and approving submittals.
Construction administration (CA) is the phase of an architect's or engineer's services during which the design professional monitors construction for conformance with the contract documents, reviews submittals and shop drawings, issues supplemental instructions, responds to RFIs, and evaluates payment applications. CA does not mean supervision or control of construction means and methods, which remains the contractor's responsibility.
The architect made bi-weekly site visits during construction administration and reviewed all shop drawings within 10 business days per the contract.
