of AUTHORITY
• The Construction Supervision Group (CSG), which may
be a qualified architectural firm, or which the Architect is
only part of, shall not assume the responsibility of the
Contractor’s project superintendent.
• The CSG shall not make decisions on matters that are
the sole responsibility of the Architect-ofrecord (Aor).
LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
• The Construction Supervision Group (CSG) is responsible to the Owner only
for administrative matters. For technical matters, the CSG is responsible to the
Architect-of-record (Aor).
• Under Article 1723 of the present Civil Code, the CSG may appear not to have
any legal responsibility since the Architect-of-record (Aor) and Engineers-of-
record (Eors) are responsible for the design while the Contractor is responsible
for the construction. However, a Service Contract / Agreement between the
CSG and the Owner may stipulate certain professional responsibilities and
civil liabilities of the CSG, particularly if the CSG is party to the review of the
Contract Documents and their subsequent evaluation and interpretation during
the course of construction.
• If the Aor (and Eors) and the Contractor are sued by an Owner for civil
liabilities due to the performance or non-performance of certain acts traceable
to the CSG, the Aor and Eors may file cross claims against the CSG.
