GENERALLY 2 The architect acts as an agent for all purposes relating to designing, o*taining

tenders for and superintending the construction -or+ for -hich he or she has *een

commissioned. To *e a*le to perform a*ove function e9ciently, the architect must process,

among other things, the attri*utes of foresight, an understanding of construction materials,

communicating and coordinating a*ilities, essential design s+ills and an a*ility to design -ithin

a set *udget.

ENGINEER, a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned -ith applying scienti1c

+no-ledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical, societal and

commercial pro*lems. ngineers design materials, structures, and systems -hile considering

the limitations imposed *y practicality, regulation, safety, and cost.

STRUCTUR"# NGINR, acts as an advisor to the architect on all structural pro*lems

such as sta*ility of the structure, suita*ility of materials proposed, structural feasi*ility of the

proposed design and si:es of structural mem*ers for a construction pro(ect.

SR!IC NGINRS, ;plum*ing, electrical, heating and ventilating, air conditioning,

sanitation, lifts and escalators and so on< contri*ute to the *uilding design process to ensure

that thermal and visual comfort are achieved e=ectively. They analy:e the client6s reuirement

and priorities and advise the architect on the most appropriate design solution.

The duties and responsi*ilities of the structural and services engineer include the

follo-ing2

/'roviding specialist advice and assisting in the design of the construction pro(ect -ithin the

scope of their respective specialist 1eld.

/'roducing calculations or other relevant data to assist in the design, cost planning, and the

assessment of suita*ility of materials7components and the li+e.

/Supervising their respective specialist 1elds of the pro(ect and modifying or redesigning -or+

-henever reuired.

3U"NTIT0 SUR!0OR, is responsi*le for the study of the economies and 1nancial

*uilding of structures. The *uilding contractor is the individual -ho oversees

the constructions and ensures that all necessary measures are ta+en to result in the

completed 1nished product.

The production aspects of construction pro(ects are underta+en *y *uilding contractors

-ho are essentially commercial companies that contract to construct development pro(ects.

"lthough many ma(or contracting esta*lishments are a*le to underta+e *oth design and

production -or+, their primary function is to *uild and to organi:e their considera*le resources

*asically as a manufacturing organi:ation.

$uties and responsi*ilities of the contractor commence upon invitation to tender and

include the follo-ing2

/Carrying out a full site investigation prior to su*mission of tender to ensure that the *id

includes all the cost of contractual ris+s and pro*lems.

and civil engineering, the range of opportunities for su*contractor is much -ider and it is

possi*le that the greatest num*er no- operate in the information technology and information

sectors of *usiness.

The separate appointment of trade contractors should reduce the cost of contracts, as the

management element is *eing provided *y the construction manager. It also allo-s the

advancement of some -or+s ;such as ground-or+s or piling< -hich might *egin even

*efore design of the a*ove/ground -or+s is complete.

Characteristics of trade contracts include2

/ Trade contractors may *e appointed through a single/stage procurement process, or through

a t-o/stage process -ith a pre/construction services agreement for the 1rst stage.

/ ach trade contract must have its o-n separate practical completion certi1cation and so

they may have di=erent defects lia*ility periods. Certi1cation cannot *e dependent on

completion of -or+s outside of the scope of the contract. "s trade contracts may *e

completed at di=erent times, the construction manager must ensure that measures are in

place to protect completed -or+ from ongoing activities.

/ Trade contracts ;such as the )oint Contracts Tri*unal ; )CT< C%7TC BDD< do not include

provisions for liuidated damages, instead the trade contractor indemni1es

the client@sdirect loss and7or epense for lateness.
