An architect suggested to the client that a blank wall in one of the portion of the lobby be provided with a mural painting.

Who will pay for the services of the mural painter?
-
Client
-
Architect
-
Already included in the fees of the Architect
-
To be decided by arbitration
Correct Answer
A. ClientExplanation
The client will pay for the services of the mural painter. Since the client agreed to have a mural painting in the lobby and asked the architect to present a design for it, it is implied that the client will be responsible for the cost of hiring the painter. The architect's role is to facilitate the process and coordinate with the painter, but the financial responsibility lies with the client.Rate this question:

Can an Architect be the Architect-of-Record and Architect-in-Charge of construction at the same time?
-
No, they should always be different.
-
Yes, it is possible.
-
It depends on the type of project.
-
No, it is against the Civil Code.
Correct Answer
A. Yes, it is possible.Explanation
Yes, it is possible for an architect to be the Architect-of-Record and Architect-in-Charge of construction at the same time. The Architect-of-Record is responsible for the overall design and technical aspects of the project, while the Architect-in-Charge oversees the day-to-day construction activities. In smaller projects or in cases where the architect has a smaller team, it is common for the same architect to fulfill both roles. However, in larger projects, it is more common for different architects to be assigned to each role to ensure a clear separation of responsibilities.Rate this question:

The Client has already approved the designs of the typical house models for a subdivision project. The Architect continued with the preparation of the construction drawings. At this stage, the Client asked the Architect to prepare also scale models of the different house models to be used in selling the house and lot packages. How will the Architect charge for them?
-
The cost for each scale model will be charged in addition to the basic fee.
-
It is already included in the Architects basic fee.
-
Determine the cost by arbitration.
-
It is part of the design studies required for presentation to the client and no additional fee is to be charged.
Correct Answer
A. The cost for each scale model will be charged in addition to the basic fee.Explanation
The correct answer is "The cost for each scale model will be charged in addition to the basic fee." This means that the Architect will charge an additional fee for each scale model that is prepared. This is because the scale models are an additional service requested by the Client, separate from the preparation of the construction drawings. Therefore, it is reasonable for the Architect to charge an extra cost for the scale models.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. File a case in courtExplanation
Filing a case in court is the appropriate action to take in this situation. By doing so, you can legally protect your rights as a designer and seek compensation for the unauthorized use of your design. This will help ensure that the client faces the consequences of their actions and discourage others from engaging in similar copyright infringement.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. InstallExplanation
The given options are all related to setting up or providing something. However, "install" is the most appropriate term in this context as it specifically refers to the act of setting up or putting in place a system, device, or piece of equipment. The other options like "furnish", "provide", and "fabricate" are more general and do not specifically imply the act of physically setting up or putting something in place.

-
All partners are registered architects.
-

A. A contractor and a lawyerExplanation
An architectural partnership typically consists of registered architects who collaborate on architectural projects.

If a successful examinee was convicted by a lower court of a crime involving moral turpitude and has appealed the case to a higher court, can he/she be refused the issuance of a Certificate of Registration?
-
No, since the conviction is not yet final and executory.
-
Yes, the Board has the power to refuse issuance.
-
No, since he/she has passed the examination.
-
Maybe, depending on the court’s order.
Correct Answer
A. Yes, the Board has the power to refuse issuance.Explanation
The correct answer is "Yes, the Board has the power to refuse issuance." This is because even though the examinee has passed the examination, they have been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude. The Board has the authority to consider this conviction and refuse to issue a Certificate of Registration based on the seriousness of the offense. The fact that the case is still on appeal and not yet final and executory does not prevent the Board from exercising their discretion in this matter.Rate this question:

-
The Owner is entitled only to the blueprint
-
The architects work is covered by intellectual property rights/law
-
In order to prevent the Owner from making duplicates and/or constructing without his knowledge
-
All of the Above
Correct Answer
A. All of the AboveExplanation
The architect refuses to give the original plan to the Owner because the Owner is only entitled to the blueprint. Additionally, the architect's work is protected by intellectual property rights/law, which gives the architect control over the distribution and use of their design. By withholding the original plan, the architect can prevent the Owner from making duplicates or constructing without their knowledge.

A. Critical pathExplanation
The critical path is the longest path in time through the network. It represents the sequence of activities that must be completed in order to finish the project in the shortest possible time. Any delay in one of the activities on the critical path will directly increase the project duration. This makes the critical path crucial for project management and scheduling, as it helps identify the activities that need to be closely monitored and managed to ensure timely completion of the project.Rate this question:

Which among the following should the architect’s fee NOT be based?
-
Client’s profile directory
-
Project construction cost
-
Contractor’s fee
-
Labor cost
Correct Answer
A. Client’s profile directoryExplanation
The architect's fee should not be based on the client's profile directory because it does not directly relate to the architect's services or the complexity of the project. The client's profile directory may contain information about the client's background and previous projects, but it does not provide any indication of the architect's workload or the resources required for the project. Therefore, it would not be fair or accurate to determine the architect's fee based on the client's profile directory.Rate this question:

An Architect has completed all the necessary documents under the Contract Documents Phase of a residential project and submitted them to the Client. The Client subsequently paid all the remaining amount for the basic services of the Architect. After a month, the Client decided not to proceed with the project since the family business went into deep financial trouble. Several months later, the brother of the client decided to use the designs for his house to be constructed on a similar lot situated in the same subdivision.

-
File a case in court.
-
Nothing since the architect was already paid completely for the designs.
-
Forgive and forget.
-
File a case at the PRC.

A. File a case in court.Explanation
The Architect should file a case in court because even though the Client paid for the designs, it does not give them the right to use the designs without permission. The Architect still holds the copyright to the designs and has the legal right to protect their intellectual property. By filing a case in court, the Architect can seek legal action against the brother of the client for unauthorized use of their designs.Rate this question:
