SESSION 3 VIDEO 1

COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES OF THE ARCHITECT

Supplemental service - the scope of the architect aside from the basic services (predesign,
concept design, schematic design, detail design, construction documentation and construction
proper)

Supplemental services – the scopes that are added to the contract during the contract stage before
u and your client sign the contract - included in the contract.

If you have consultant or allied professionals that is hired under u, u pay the professionals not the
client, while the client pay u.

Cost consultant -

Additional Services – are scopes that are added services after the contract agreement or
signing.

Supplemental services - are scopes that are already included in the contract.

Life safety consultant – steps of stairs are enough, fire proofing

Comprehensive services – are the overall architectural services such as the basic services
added with the Additional services and Supplemental services.

RIBA (plan of work) – Manual

The RIBA Plan of Work organises the process of briefing, designing, delivering, maintaining,
operating and using a building into eight stages. It is a framework for all disciplines on
construction projects and should be used solely as guidance for the preparation of detailed
professional services and building contracts.

In Philippines, the field usually focuses on the basic services while in UK, the RIBA they merged
everything.

STAGES

0- Strategic definition phase – The best means of achieving the Client Requirements
confirmed
If the outcome determines that a building is the best means of achieving the Client
Requirements, the client proceeds to Stage 1

gathering client requirements, contract signing,

Tendering – happens when the client have their own team

HOW THR CLIENT SELECT THE ARCHITECT

Direct selection – the client automatically chose an architect.
 Comparative selection – select thru invitation, done by bidding – the selected architect
will be invited to do a bidding process.
Design Competition – the only way that you can provide designs without contract.

Two things to submit to client during architectural proposal:

- Technical proposal – u have to convince the client thru portfolio, pre-qualification
documents, organizational charts (such as the awards, your clients, types of projects, how
many manpower and positions) without the design
AND
-Commercial proposal – u have to convince the client thru timeline for the projects, and
how many manpower, type of charging, architects fee, the allied professionals needed.

Once you are selected you can sign the contract, visit the site – one of the things to
consider is not just the simple site analysis such as sun and wind path etc.
Included in the strategic definition phase is basically to know what are the infrastructure in
the project – the sewage ways or drainage ways, the water supply, the maximum wattage to
provide in the site. Eith the help of allied professionals

1- Preparation and briefing

Project Brief approved by the client and confirmed that it can be accommodated on
the site
> the time where the architect would transform the project brief of the client into
something much more technical.
You get the plot limits, you will get the width of the road fronting the property, from this you
can get the setbacks, building height limit to get the ceiling height every floor, and the gross
floor area which is the basis of the estimate of the construction cost in per square meter.
(para makasabot is client explain this properly)

Bare construction – shell and core with windows, door. (25k per sqm)
Basic construction- with basic mats such as tiles, wc, etc. (35k sqm)

2- Concept Design

Architectural Concept approved by the client and aligned to the Project Brief

The brief remains "live" during Stage 2 and is derogated in response to the Architectural
Concept

> the phase where you start giving sample renders, mood boards, floorplans. Architectural
Concepts.

Stage where you start hiring allied professionals.

The liability will fall to the architect if the allied professionals is under the control of architect.
But if the allied professional is under the client, then the liability will fall in the client.

The architect will have the liability to cooperate with the investigation in the court if it is needed.

NOTE: SECURE A SOFT COPIES OF DOCUMENTS OF YOUR PROJECTS.

3- Spatial Coordination - Architectural and engineering information Spatially

Coordinated

The structural, geological, mechanical, etc. engineers will submit their works to the architect to be
combine everything. The different allied professionals will submit their work to avoid clashes with
everyone’s work, the architect will make sure that no work will clash to another.

Cost consultant – task is to make BOQ (bill of quantities w/out pricing) list of all materials that
needs for your project to be implemented.

Bill of materials another term is estimates.

Procurements, construction proper.

As built plans is made by contractor.

SESSION 3 VIDEO 2

Task involved in every stage.

Core task talks about what the phase could deliver or what it will be focusing on.

4- Technical Design - All design information required to manufacture and construct the
project completed.

Stage 4 will overlap with Stage 5 on most projects

Manufacturing, construction and Commissioning completed

There is no design work in Stage 5 other than responding to Site Queries

Building handed over, Aftercare initiated and Building Contract concluded

Building used, operated and maintained efficiently

Stage 7 starts concurrently with Stage 6 and lasts for the life of the building
SESSION 3 VIDEO 2

Task involved in every stage.

Core task talks about what the phase could deliver or what it will be focusing on.

GROSS FLOOR AREA – (BUILT UP AREA x NUMBER OF FLOORS)

Sayun ra makuha ang gfa if naay affection plan-nakastate na didto.

Title deed – lot coordinates and road width or the main road width – to get the maximum height
limit.

From that u can get the set back then total lot area minus the setback = buildable area/ built up
area

GFA = built up area x number of floors

Bare construction – shell and core with windows, door. (25k per sqm)
Basic construction- with basic mats such as tiles, wc, etc. (35k sqm)

PREPARATON AND BRIEFING

Infrastructure plans is something we can get in authorities. The OBO in the Philippines.

SITE APPRAISAL – soil investigation report, wattage of electronic in the site,

Structural engineer is the one who will tell kung pwede ang ramp sa area or wehave to put
structural component para masuspport ang ramp.

Ikaw mag brief sa client if ganahn siya na naay gym asa mas costly ibutang or as ana dli such as sa
basement kay di kay saba but if sa penthouse kay daghan need materials.

Some projects mostly kay bigger projects, it need a feasibility study. Such as hospital, school,
church project, if the community need it or not. MAKE SURE THAT KLARO SA CONTRACT THAT WE
NEED TO DO A FEASIBILITY STUDY DURING THE INITIAL STAGE OF THE PROJECT.

Consultation stage is this stage. Then naa ni impact sa architect fee if naay site survey or etc.

Project execution plan and project program – 2 docs that we need to provide

project program – map on how to execute each and every stage of the project – concept design -
deliverables, timeline, allied prof to hire – deliverables from their side, special coordination.

Project execution plan – much more expanded info of the project program.
 CONCEPT DESIGN

For the architects to produce an architectural concept.

Strategic engineering -best time to hire basic allied professionals such as structural engineers,
plumbing, mechanical and electrical.

Cost plan or rough cost plan so that the allied professionals could have limits on their design and
coordination for all of them will happen.

Once we hired allied professionals they have to provide their own Project stakeholders – if they
have another consultants in their end or other side party professionals such as site survey of civil
engineers. Everyone that’s involved in the project so that if the authory pangitaan ka naa kay
maprovide or if e ask kas client naa kay matubag.

SPATIAL COORDINATION

Much more of allied professionals collaborations and involvement. Less client meeting.

Architect make sure that the work of diff allied professionals wont clash.

Overlay every works.

Update the cost plan if we need to redesign if ma over the budget or naay lain requirements and
authorities.

Change controlled procedure – this a plan that every allied professional should agree if naay
changes sa plan.

Every change in the plan will charge or entail a cost.

SESSION 4 VIDEO1

CROSS CULTURAL COMMUNICATION AND CULTURAL ADAPTIBILITY

Stereotypes kay naa jud sa diff countries.

These stereotypes will help us on how to handle different people especially those who have
different nationality from us.

UNITED KINGGOM – British ppl known form having bad teeth bec hilig silage tea.

MIDDLE EAST – very modestly dressed, protection from nature (sun and sandstorm) not bec of
religion.

EUROPEAN – depends on sa asa dapit, Spanish is known as relaxed, they celebrate their siestas

2. ADHOCRACY CULTURE -flexible and take risks

-type of wherein fit to creative people, such as architects, graphic artist, fashion designers,
etc.
- your timeline will depend on your creative output, every one is open to share thoughts and
opinion.
Example.
- Norman Foster, creative company – open office.
-Bjarke Ingles, BIG company – open office.
-Rogers Stirks, Harbour+Partners

3. HIERARCHY CULTURE – traditional corporate structure gives us stability.

-types of companies that you can see by the physical evidence that there is a boss. Lahi ang

employment relationship that gives the employer the opportunity to assess whether their new
employee is capable, reliable and suitable for the job.

WILLINGNESS TO WORK ABROAD, BY COUNTRY.

SESSION 4 VIDEO 2

WHAT IS CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION?

It can be defined as a dialogue or any kind of interaction between people of different nationalities.

UAE – daghan proj

CANADA – more on structural

DUBAI – same sa uae

SINGAPORE – ni stop na sila og building kay puno nag structures ang place.

QUTAR – desperate to rise, niya dali ra sudlan.

HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES.

COMMUNICATING SCALE

Low-Context

Good communication is precise, simple, and clear. Messages are expressed and understood at
face value. Repetition is appreciated if it helps clarify the communication.

➢ Straight to the point

➢ Europe mostly, Germany etc.
➢ Sometimes pod French.

High-Context

Good communication is sophisticated, nuanced, and layered. Messages are both spoken and read
between the lines. Messages are often implied but not plainly expressed.

➢ Daghan charchar, daghan explanation, not straight to the point.

➢ Asian countries, korea, Philippines, etc.
➢ French, sometimes – kusog mulekramo, mga lebakero/a

EVALUATING SCALE
Direct negative feedback

Negative feedback to a colleague is provided frankly, bluntly, honestly. Negative messages stand
alone, not softened by positive ones. Absolute descriptors are often used (totally inappropriate,
completely unprofessional) when criticizing. Criticism may be given to an individual in front of a
group.

➢ French, german
➢

Indirect negative feedback

Negative feedback to a colleague is provided softly, subtly, diplomatically. Positive messages are
used to wrap negative ones. Qualifying descriptors are often used (sort of inappropriate, slightly
unprofessional) when criticizing. Criticism is given only in private.

➢ Philippines
➢ Japan
Sa gawas naay uban sa construction site. Naay room called war room.

➢ Russians – dili mauwaw, emotionally fonfrontational with emotions.

➢ Germans – will confront u with words, wise word choice without face expressions.

Concept- first

Individuals have been trained to first develop the theory or complex concept before presenting a
fact, statement, or opinion. The preference is to begin a message or report by building up a
theoretical argument before moving on to a conclusion. The conceptual principles underlying each
situation are valued.

➢ Pinoy – persuade through concepts to facts.

➢ Consultancy firm such as design related firms.

Application- first

Individuals are trained to begin with a fact, statement, or opinion and later add concepts to back up
or explain the conclusion as necessary. The preference is to begin a message or report with an
executive summary or bullet points. Discussions are approached in a practical, concrete manner.
Theoretical or philosophical discussions are avoided in a business environment.

➢ Directly give facts.

➢ US
➢ Much more technical, such as construction.

CONCEPT- FIRST

-why questions – persuasion through taglines

- example: loreal: you are worth it

APPLICATION- FIRST

-how questions - persuasion through taglines

-example: nike: just do it

NOTE: PERSUATING IS MARKETING

2 WAYS OF PRESENTING THESIS

➢ Context first: Idea development – cutting and adding geometry to form something which is
your concept.
➢ Site visuals: mga details about the sites and the goals unsay ipang butang sa site. Then
provide SITE RESPONSE sa each problem.
➢ Idea board
➢ Application first: ditso na technical

LEADERSHIP SCALE

Egalitarian

The ideal distance between a boss and a subordinate is low. The best boss is a facilitator among
equals. Organizational structures are flat. Communication often skips hierarchical lines.

➢ Same concept sa adhocracy culture, walay amo- no subordinate. Known sa office set up.

Hierarchical

The ideal distance between a boss and a subordinate is high. The best boss is a strong director who
leads from the front. Status is important. Organizational structures are multi-layered and fixed.
Communication follows set hierarchical lines.

➢ Something u can apply in a very technical company, required to follow a certain process
because money and safety is crucial in the output.
➢ Construction firm

MANAGEMENT STYLE

➢ Same concept in leadership scale

AGILE LEADERSHP IN A NUTSHELL

Agile leadership is the embodiment of agile manifesto principles by a manager or management

team. Agile leadership impacts two important levels of a business. The structural level defines the
roles, responsibilities, and key performance indicators. The behavioral level describes the actions
leaders exhibit to others based on agile principles.

➢ Modern way of leadership style

➢ Effective in creative company
➢ Planstahon tanan idea, han—ayon tanan before presenting the idea to the client.
 ➢ In large projects. Dividing the team is effective, give task to different teams
➢ You have to combine together with the team
➢ You have different goals in a small team, but u also have a bigger goal together with the
whole team.
➢ So that tanan facts aware ang all to present thoroughly to the client.

ROGERS STIRKS OFFICE – EXAMPLE

➢ Work together then combine the ideas together to form a concept.

Task-based

Trust is built through business-related activities. Work relationships are built and dropped easily,
based on the practicality of the situation. You do good work consistently, you are reliable, I enjoy
working with you, I trust you.

Relationship- based

Trust is built through sharing meals, evening drinks, and visits at coffee machine. Work
relationships build up slowly over the long term. I've seen who you are at a deep level, I've shared
personal time with you, I know others well who trust you, I trust you.
Linear time

Project steps are approached in a sequential fashion, completing one task before beginning the
next. One thing at a time. No interruptions. The focus is on the deadline and sticking to the
schedule. Emphasis is on promptness and good organization over flexibility.

Flexible time

Project steps are approached in a fluid manner, changing tasks as opportunities arise. Many hings
are dealt with at once and interruptions accepted. The focus is on adaptability and glexibility is
valued over organization.

THE SECOND SCOPE OF SERVICES: CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, CONSTRUCTION

MANAGEMENT, POST CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.

MAJOR STEPS IN CONSTRUCTION

- Issued for construction drawings

- Tender stage – checking of the mats and finalizing the cost of the construction para if naay
kuwang ang contractor sa item needed dili na sila pwede maningil sa architect even tho
under na sila niya or sa architect.
- Tender queries – all of the question, clarifications, that is being addressed by the contractor
after the bidding stage.
- After ana, mostly done na ang construction drawings. Naaward or e award pa sa contractor.
- Once you issue the issued construction drawings, the contractor has the responsibility to
review again all the drawings and documents. Then highlight the items change that will
affect the cost and issue again as part of the tender query.
- Once they issued for construction documents (drawing, classifications and bill of
quantity/estimates), with the building permit- bec it is the role of the architect to issue the
building permit to the contractor bec that is one thing that he need to start mobilization.
 - Building permit is document used for the contractor to apply his needed construction
documents to process to start and check the site/to secure the site.

PERMIT THAT IS REQUIRED TO ISSUE BY THE CONTRACTOR

TEMPORARY FENCING PERMIT

➢ Ledger of award.
➢ Site development plan
➢ Signages
➢ Access way towards site.

MOBILAZATION PERMIT

➢ Tempasive – temporary offices

➢ Rebars
➢ Mobile offices
➢ Delivering the materials needed

EXCAVATION PERMIT

➢ only for the bigger projects

➢ shoring to secure the land of the site
➢ include waterproofing

raft foundation-are a type of foundation with high integrity in which four foundation piers are
connected together using a large foundation slab to form a massive structure and the
foundation piers are connected through beams.

- Usually installed or needed in the manmade island which are soils are unstable

SUBSTRUCTURE PERMIT

➢ Once nakuha, they can install the rebars- then di pa kabuhos og concrete kung di ma
inspect sa authorities.
➢ Top of ceremony- celeb for nahalf na ang building and mana ang inspections
➢ Water proofing
➢ Watertight
➢ Handout to the sub contractor

Testing by the façade elements are done by the suppliers- such as glazing elements.

After watertight ang the building we can start the interior fit out

Temporary water and electrical supply in the site is applied also before starting the project

AC are installed sabay sa claddings, before the interior.

Site consultant - to manage the timeline, budget, material approval, etc.

GIKAPOY NAKO
CONTRACT

➢ If AOR – until tender documentation

➢ If di AOR – contract will end at only detailed design stage
➢ If comprehensive services – at technical design stage only.

Contract between sub contractor and main contractor – in between na nila ang contract, the main
contractor is liable sa sub contractor.

address of client (home and business address), architects contacts.
➢ All of the stages of design
➢ Time-line and process guide of the projects.
SESSION 5 VIDEO 2

THE SECOND SCOPE OF SERVICES: CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, CONSTRUCTION

MANAGEMENT, POST CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.

PROJECT KICK OFF MEETING – very initial meeting done before the construction. Attended by the
main contractor, sub-contractor, awarded sub-contractor (sub-contractor for surveying, shoring,
raft foundation, and all subcontractors- contracted by the main contractor)

➢ Discuss all the main points of the mile points of the project. (schedules, etc)
➢ Main executive people.
➢ Objectives
➢ Key stakeholders
➢ Project risk (security of the temporary fencing)

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROJECT MANAGER AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGER

Project manager – Involve during the start of the project, oversee from the design to construction
stage.

Construction manager – involve during only in the construction stage.

➢ Both are under the client. Act in the side in the client.

RAPID MATRIX

➢ Prepared by the project manager, but if wala kay construction manager.

➢ Crucial because cost of delay, dili ka proceed ang uban stage without finishing the current
stage. There are prerequisites in every stage.
SCHEDULING

➢ Milestone of the project is the start or the end of the certain deliverance.
➢ Projected start and finish – estimated and done.

COST CONTROL

➢ Quantity surveyor – reporting to the construction manager. Major staff of the proj.
➢ Project in charge/ construction manager – ang duolon sa architect or engineer if they have
problems about the cost.

➢ Tender stage mag make kay si contractor og estimate/price boq, submits to be awarded.
➢ Key milestone of the project is the procurement of the material, included ang cost –
Resource planning
➢ Main contractor task is to control the procurement, each of the system of the project kay
ipatender ni contractor.
➢ Cost estimates has possible changes throughout the construction.
➢ Budgeting – could keep the sobra or pwede for allotted for the changes throughout the
construction.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION

➢ During the tender stage, there are bidding requirements, such as prequalification
documents.
➢ Contract forms – drawings, specifications,
➢ Issue as recommendation if naay nalimtan na detail sa drawing then naapprove nas OBO.
➢ Contract modification could cause cost changes.
➢ Change control procedure – issued when there are changes in the cost. – signed by the
client and architect.
➢ Negative variations – deducting something in the construction na gi plan na sa drawings
What is the goal of your request? What are you planning to do?

RFI – Request of Information (Educates)

-Doing research

-Looking for overview

-Exploring market

➢ Basic details na kuwang sa construction na wala nasunod sa drawings.

➢ Possible na naay cost changes

RFQ – request for quotation (Quantifies)

-Buying specific item

-Looking for lowest price

-Sourcing particular service

RFP - Request for proposal (Compares)
