    1.1 Due to the increasing complexity of
    construction projects, there is an upward

    3. LIMITATION OF AUTHORITY
    The Architect as the Construction Manager shall not:

    affect the construction schedule and impair the design concept

    time management.

    4.2 The CM assumes no liability in case equipment fail to function


    or if a portion of the building collapses:

    4.2.1 due to deficiencies in the plan / design, provided the CM


    did not participate in the plan / design review and approval, or

    4.2.2 due to the deficiencies in the manner of construction,


    provided the CM faithfully discharged his function/s during the
    construction / project implementation.

    1. INTRODUCTION
    1.1 Building administration and management goes beyond maintenance
    and upkeep functions. It requires the services of a multi-disciplinary

    efficient and economical operation and maintenance of a building,
    facility or a complex.
    1.2 In Post-Construction Services, the channels of communication
    are kept open among the building owners, operators, architects,
    engineers, builders, manufacturers, building research groups, utility
    providers, furniture and equipment vendors and building
    administrators/ property managers to provide access to information
    regarding the performance and upkeep of buildings.
    1.3 The Architect may be engaged as the Building Administrator
    and/or Property Manager of a commercial, industrial, residential or
    institutional building, facility or complex to maximize the lifespan of
    the building/s in order to produce the maximum economic return.
