question 10:
If the owner who hired the geotech company EnGEO to do the soils report is asking the architect to start designing the cabins in an adjacent site, would it not be the architect “standard of care” responsibility to tell the owner that a new geotech report is required for that site? But meanwhile why would it be wrong for the architect to assume site analysis and cabin location based on the information he currently has available? I don’t see a contractual obligation between the architect and the geotech that would allow the architect to request from EnGEO a new or amended report.
