Hi ARE community,

One question, if architect notice something wired on the site (EX: equipment undersized, wrong beam size…), apart from writing into the field report, should he/she notify the contractor immediately as well?

Thanks!

Hi Whuang,  
Simple answer is yes. The architect should notify the General Contractor and Owner following observations where things are not consistent with the contract documents.
