[quote=Anonymous]I’m a GC. I prefer to work on jobs with heavy architect involvement. There are a myriad of reasons - it’s professional to professional - there’s no emotion - they can draw and detail for the client - and they can advocate as well as form a buffer. What often happens is clients often stop using the Architect once the bills start to add up. Then I am flying solo and things invariably take longer and it’s harder to ring fence scope/etc. So - yes, if you elect to keep them involved you are going to go over. If you have a good architect they will save you time and money. That said I would urge caution. Don’t change things - be careful of cutting scope because by the time they re-draw everything you are going to give back a significant portion of your hoped for savings and time is going to really not be your friend. Make sure they get a good builder on board to keep things in scope and budget. Good work takes time. Good luck.[/quote]
