The Architects services consist of the necessary conferences, deliberations,
discussions, evaluations, investigations, consultations, advice on matters
affecting the scientific, aesthetic and orderly coordination of all the
processes of safeguarding life, health, and property which enter into the
production of different levels and sophistication of man-made structures and
environment.
The Architect, in the process of translating abstract ideas into meaningful
concrete terms, produces documents in the form of a data base report, an
architectural program, a feasibility study, a market study, an appraisal
report, an impact analysis report, a space-organizational setup report, a site
planning analysis and evaluation report, an operational programming report,
building programming and scheduling report.
A complete and detailed documentation of construction or erection drawings
is prepared consisting of the architectural plans, the structural plans, the
electrical plans, the plumbing/sanitary plans, the mechanical/airconditioning
plans, the civil work plans, the technical specifications and the other bid
documents.
Aside from these, the Architect can prepare the post construction
management documents, the operating manual, the maintenance manual
and other forms of written and graphical documentations necessary for the
effective and efficient functioning of the man-made structures and
environment.
An appreciation of this scope of services of the Architect will bring into focus
the crucial role that the Architect assumes in the realization of abstract ideas
into tangible and meaningful terms.
Between abstract ideas and the physical world, stands the Architect.
