    • Architect-in-charge of construction

    • Architect-of-record

    Correct Answer
    A. Architect-of-record

    The architect-of-record is the correct answer because they are the architect who is directly responsible for the total design of the project for the client. They are also the one who assumes civil liability for the plans, specifications, and contract documents that they have signed and sealed. This means that they are the primary architect who oversees the project and takes on the legal responsibility for its design and implementation.

    • Architect in charge of construction

    • Consultant architect

    • Architect-of - record

    • Project Manager

    Correct Answer
    A. Architect-of - record
    Explanation
    The Architect-of-record is responsible for signing contract documents. This individual is typically the main architect who oversees the entire project and is legally accountable for the design and construction process. They are responsible for ensuring that the project meets all necessary codes and regulations, and their signature on the contract documents signifies their approval and acceptance of the terms outlined in the contract.

    Rate this question:

    The Architect has chosen a bidder but the Owner doesn't approve. What can be done?

    • Rebid

    • Ask the Bidder to adjust the Bid

    • The owner is not entitled not to accept the bidder as it has been already chosen already

    • Change the Owner

    Correct Answer
    A. Rebid
    Explanation
    If the owner does not approve of the bidder chosen by the architect, the best course of action would be to rebid the project. This means that the bidding process will be restarted and new bids will be solicited from potential contractors. This allows the owner to have a fresh set of options and choose a bidder that they are comfortable with.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Charges for specific building types are usually based on _____________.

    • Location of the Project

    • Degree of complexity

    • Site Slope

    • Client's Money

    Correct Answer
    A. Degree of complexity
    Explanation
    The charges for specific building types are usually based on the degree of complexity. This means that the more complex a building project is, the higher the charges will be. Complexity can refer to various factors such as the design, structural requirements, materials used, and the overall difficulty of the construction process. The degree of complexity directly influences the amount of time, resources, and expertise required to successfully complete the project, which in turn affects the charges.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What among the following should the Architect's fee NOT be based?

    • Project Construction Cost

    • Client's Profile Directory

    • Contractor's Fee

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Client's Profile Directory
    Explanation
    The architect's fee should not be based on the client's profile directory. The client's profile directory refers to information about the client's background, experience, or reputation. This information is not directly related to the project construction cost or the contractor's fee, which are more practical and tangible factors that can influence the architect's fee. The architect's fee should be based on the complexity, scope, and size of the project, as well as the architect's expertise and experience. The client's profile directory may provide some insight into the client's preferences or requirements, but it should not be the sole determining factor for the architect's fee.

    Correct Answer
    A. Multiple of Direct Personal Expenses
    Explanation
    The method of compensation applicable only to non-creative work such as accounting, supervision, and data gathering is the Multiple of Direct Personal Expenses. This method calculates the compensation based on a multiple of the direct personal expenses incurred in performing the non-creative work. It does not take into account the construction cost or any other factors.

    Correct Answer
    A. 75%
    Explanation
    The architectural composition of the Corporation should be 75%. This means that the majority of the Corporation's design and structure should be focused on architectural elements. This could include the use of specific materials, styles, and design principles to create a visually appealing and functional space. By prioritizing architectural composition, the Corporation can create a unique and impactful environment that reflects its values and goals.

    • None of the Above

    Correct Answer
    A. Design Build with Guaranteed Maximum Project Construction Cost
    Explanation

After the completion of the project, if there are any savings in the estimated construction cost, it is divided equally between the owner and the architect. This approach ensures that the owner has a maximum cost limit for the project and also incentivizes the architect to find cost-saving solutions during the construction process.

    A client wanted your service for his new house with a Total Project Cost of Three Million (3,000,000.00) pesos. What is the percentage of your professional fee for the Design Service?

    • 5%

    • 6%

    • 10%

    • 15%
