the design and plans made by the ARCHITECT. The ARCHITECT shall ensure

progress and update the CLIENT if there is any problem with construction
and for general updates.

the contracts with suppliers and contractors. However, the ARCHITECT shall
coordinate with said parties to ensure that workmanship and quality are
executed in accordance to their commitments and contracts with the client.
The ARCHTECTS shall meet and coordinate with said suppliers and
contractors on a weekly basis to ensure that all deliveries and installations
are complete and those deadlines are met. The designated project manager
shall be provided separately and supervised by the commissioned contractor.
c.) The construction phase shall begin once all drawings and parties are
approved. If for any reason construction needs to be put on hold by the client
and or the commissioned contractor, the construction phase may be paused
