What is an architect’s standard of care and how does design-build mitigate project risks?
In architecture, the standard of care refers to the level of skill, competence, and diligence that a reasonably prudent architect would exercise under similar circumstances in a given project. It is not about perfection but ensuring that architects meet industry standards, legal requirements, and professional guidelines when designing and executing a project. This standard takes into account the typical practices of architects in the same region and context.
