Study Notes
The Architect as Advocate
- Advocate Architect - An architect that acts as a representative for the owner in design-build projects, providing support to the owner and user stakeholders. The advocate architect ensures user requirements are gathered and communicated to the design team.
- Consulting Architect - An architect that provides design services to a design-builder or design-build-finance-maintain (DBFM) entity, or through a project management service provider.
- Compliance Architect - This role is an expansion of the advocate architect's role in alternate funding plan (AFP) or public-private partnerships (P3) delivery projects. The compliance architect ensures project compliance with specific requirements set by the owner.
- User Stakeholders - Individuals or groups who utilize the building after construction, including both those employed by the owner and the public.
- Advocate Architect's Role - Supports the owner and user stakeholders to ensure project requirements are met in complex delivery models.

Advocate Architect Fees
-
Fee Structure
- Fixed or hourly rates, with pre-design services typically hourly and design and construction phase services fixed.
- Fixed fees are often based on a multiplier of the construction budget, typically ranging from 0.6% to 1.2%, depending on project size and involvement.
- The Advocate Architect is most active at the beginning of the project, ensuring user requirements are integral to initial design stages.
Compliance Architect - The Evolving Role of the Advocate Architect
- The traditional role of the advocate architect has expanded with the rise of alternative funding plans (AFP) and public-private partnerships (P3s).
- Organizations are increasingly involved in P3 projects, assuming roles on the "compliance" team, where their focus is ensuring the project meets the specific compliance requirements set forth by the owning organization.
