12.5.1 Deficient Administration

A. The Architect’s administration of the construction contract will be considered deficient when: 1) the Architect does not report all observed non-compliance with contract documents; 2) does not report instances of unacceptable performances; and, 3) fails to actively pursue remedies. The Architect will not be responsible for actual construction, construction means, methods, techniques or other related responsibilities of the contractor. However, based on on-site observation as the owner's agent the Architect must keep the Lender, owner and HUD informed of the progress of the work and endeavor to protect the owner and HUD against defects, deficiencies, and delays in the construction.
