[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in the middle of a major renovation and addition. From my interviews with architects I was considering hiring, I can tell you this varies considerably and it should be spelled out in your contract with the architect. Mine is very involved and that's what I wanted. He has a site visit with me and the contractor every 2 weeks to discuss any questions that come up and he examines the contractor's requests for payment in detail and signs off on them verifying the stated work has been done before giving me the go-ahead to pay them. He keeps an eagle eye on what was specificied and what is actually being built and installed. I pay the architect his hourly rate for this and it has ended up being on average about $1000/month during construction, but I am *very* grateful to be able to offload a lot of the detail-worrying to him. [/quote] This sounds great-- I don't suppose you'd be willing to share his name?[/quote]
