ANSWER

Find project participants in the AHPP, Section 9.1 Project Delivery Methods:

The Owner Team
The owner team establishes the project requirements, budget, and time constraints. The owner team may include shareholders and stakeholders, and may or may not be the end users of the building. The owner may require information on product operation, maintenance, and warranties. Members of the owner team might include a facility manager, construction manager, tenant, and facility user. The owner makes the decision to proceed with construction.

The Design Team
This is where you’ll find the architects, engineers, interior designers, specifiers, specialty consultants, and construction contract administrators. The design team works with the owner to determine design program and requirements, produce construction documents, and administer the construction contract. The design team may do product research, code research, and quality control reviews. Note that the AHPP lists Architect and Design Team Consultants separately. I put them together here to save space.

The Contractor Team
The contractor team, made up of of the contractor’s management and labor force, as well as subcontractors, agree to construct the building for the owner. The contractor agrees to complete the project in accordance with the construction documents made by the design team within a determined schedule and budget. The contractor team makes decisions such as selecting subcontractors, material suppliers, as well as the means and methods of construction. Key players here include the contractor or design-builder, the contractor’s project manager(s), construction manager, superintendent, and subcontractors.

The Supplier Team
Manufacturers of construction products and systems make up the supplier team. This team works with both the design team (to identify appropriate materials for the project) and the contractor team (to provide delivery, storage, and installation information). On this team, you’ll find product representatives, distributors, and suppliers.

The major phases of work include: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation, Bidding and Negotiation, and Construction Administration. These are the most basic terms you need to know, and they are all specifically listed in the AIA B101 under Basic Services. Keep these in mind going forward to know what responsibilities the architect completes during each phase. Sounds like a good future assignment. :)

Pre-Construction is not an actual Phase as discussed earlier*, so Pre-Construction activities could technically be anything prior to actual construction. BUT...in CE we expect we are beyond SD, so we might consider things starting around DD-Bidding phase of the project. This includes, but is not limited to, evaluating costs, creating schedules, helping the Owner select a contractor, reviewing the AIA contracts to use, sending instructions to bidders, reviewing bids, etc.

* Pre-construction actually is a phase, discussed in the AIA A133 Owner - CMc Agreement, but I think that is too much into the weeds.

EXERCISE ANSWER

Cross out items that are not Architect Basic Services. (halftoned here)

• Help the owner procure bids (in a traditional building project).
• Select the owner’s consultants to advise on the project.
• Coordination of the work of the Owner’s consultants
• Prepare the construction documents and specifications for the project.
• Review cost estimates provided by the contractor.
• Determine means and methods of construction that affect the building design.
• Create As-Constructed record drawings after construction.

DISCUSSION

The question asked to cross out what wasn't a basic architect service. Article 3.1.2 describes that it is a part of the architect's basic scope of services to coordinate the work of the owner's consultant however the answer through hyperfine is stating that it is NOT a basic service. 

The answer listed in this assignment is correct.

There is one is small change in the contract wording, but a big difference in the requirements.

3.1.2 says that the Architect shall coordinate their own work with the work of the Owner's consultants. So if the Civil Engineer (an Owner consultant) provides a survey, the Architect needs to make sure that their own work is coordinated with the survey.

But the the Architect does not need to oversee or coordinate the actual work of the Owner's consultants, let's say a Civil Engineer and a Landscape Architect, both Owner consultants. The Architect (us) does not have to make sure the LA work is coordinated with the Civil work.

Keep scrolling down in the contract until you find the list of Supplemental Services, section 4.1. Line 4.1.1.20 is "Architect's coordination of the Owner's Consultants"
