In order to outline c. ely the duties and responsibilities of each Consultant involved in designing them; the term ding Works' has been used to describe all these parts. ‘Bu The design of ‘Building Works' as well as the process of monitoring their costs, is the responsibility of a multi- @isciplinary team made up of an Architect, a Quantity Surveyor and the various Engineers i.e. structural, civ, nical etc. electrical, mech The professional activities of an Architect and Quantity Surveyor respectively, are governed by the Architects and Quantity Surveyors Act Cap.525, Laws of Kenya, and the by-laws made thereunder. The activities of the various Engineers respectively are governed by Engineers Registration Act CAP 530 0f(1968), Laws of Kenya and the by-laws made thereunder. All these professionals have been referred to in these Conditions as ‘Consultants’ whose general duties and responsibilities have been defined and described in Section 200 of these Conditions.

He normally acts as Client's advisor on costs of the design and administers the building contract in consultation with other Consultants to ensure that the specified standards of materials and workmanship have been complied with by the building contractor. The role of the various Engineers on the other hand is to advise the Architect on the design and to detail the ‘specialist parts of the building such as a structural building elements, electrical and mechanical systems and related civil works; to ensure that such designs do not nitect's overall design but that the contractors or sub-contractors comply with the only intergrate well with the Arc! specifications therein. The role of the Quantity Surveyor is to advise on the cost of the project and to monitor ail financial aspects of the designs produced by the various Consultants and to prepare a Bill of Quantities and other contract documents; to evaluate the work at various stages of the construction in consultation with such Consultants and to prepare the final account. The success of any building project will depend largely on the effectiveness of co-ordination between the various members of the ‘design consulting tean' at all stages of project implementation. It is therefore imporgant that the Client first appoints one of the Consultants to her Consultants.
