Coordinate with owners consultants?

Hi @sergioclaure93 !

This is a great question and can definitely get tricky. As you mentioned, B101 3.1.2 does say the architect shall coordinate its services with owners consultants which means the architect shall coordinate to make sure that the consultants design works with their own. As an example, if you as an architect receive a structural set it is your responsibility to coordinate to make sure there aren’t any major conflicts between their design and the architect’s.

The question refers to coordinating the services of the owner’s consultants. This would be an additional service as you would be responsible for helping the owner coordinate between the various consultants. An example of this would be facilitating communication between the structural and mechanical engineers. Hope that helps clear up some confusion!

Thanks,
Rebecca
