Comprehensive
Architectural Services
|
|
|
Architectural
firms, by rendering comprehensive services, offer the advantages
claimed by the packaged contractor without the accompanying
disadvantages.
Architects can prepare special research studies related to
programming. They may advise on the economics of site selection by
working with realtors/appraisers and by taking into consideration
the highest /best use of the site, land value analysis and potential
returns, etc. Architects, familiar with corporate structure,
partnership relations and laws related to building, frequently
testify on the Owner’s behalf before zoning and planning boards.
They can assist in negotiations with owners of adjacent
property and with many other legal and property interests.
Various kinds of services have also been rendered by
architects to their clients in the field of finance. These are
assisting in the determination of requirements of lending agencies,
income-expense relationships and relative demand for different
building types in actual financing negotiations.
Owners and
their Architects are continuing to explore and refine the
concept of comprehensive services in order that architects, and
their specialty consultants may provide the most advanced
professional services to their clients.
As the building process increases in complexity, construction
projects are facing different and greater exposures
that demand innovative approaches to keep up with the new
environment and the changing relationships among construction
professionals and their respective roles.
