Which of the following statements about architect-contractor relationships is true?
A. contractor-led design-build delivery method is not usually covered by most professional insurance policies, B. joint venture design-build delivery method is always covered by standard professional insurance policies, C. the design-builder is the architect's client in a contractor-led design-build arrangement, D. in joint venture design-build, the architect controls the development of the initial cost proposal and total project cost.
Answer C. is correct, rest false.
Statements A+B are opposite - contractor-led DB is a more common method recognized by std. policies. After preliminary CDs are developed by the architect, it is the contractor who generates a cost proposal in J-V DB, leaving the architect exposed to joint liability from unpredictable cost changes between initial and final CDs (costs in which the architect had no control developing when subcontractor bids would have been sought).
