@laura.lefevre.dharch In this exercise, you are to reference the executed AIA B101-2017 (reference provided) which indicates which supplemental services have been agreed upon and who will be providing those services, if at all. In this reference, you’ll see that § 4.1.1.10 Architectural interior design is Not Provided. This means that it was not included at the time of contract signing and if the client wishes to add it on at a later time, it will be considered an additional service.

Check out this post that our team put together regarding the difference between Supplemental and Additional Services:

I am also not certain why the cost estimate doesn’t increase? even if the design is not included, but the material is (carpet). Even though we have no info about the material, we know it will increase the costs. Because installing (subcontractor) + materials ARE included in the cost of work.
