What Are the Stages of Advocate Construction?
During the process of construction, several stages can be identified. Some of these stages include design, planning, and construction. These stages are essential to ensure that the project is completed correctly and on time.
Design phase
During the project design phase, Advocate Construction works with the project owner and their team to turn their ideas into a comprehensive plan. This phase involves the development of a preliminary budget, timeline, and customer expectations. It also includes critical decisions, critical activities, and the development of a project description.
Advocate Construction uses a team approach to ensure that the building is constructed with the highest quality. This includes an education component and a relationship with manufacturers. The company also worked to secure the necessary lines of credit.
During the design phase, an advocate architect ensures the user’s needs are incorporated into the design. They also represent the owner’s interests. They can advocate for equitable processes and outcomes. They review construction documents and illustrations and monitor the construction process.
During this phase, the project owner is involved in all decisions. The architect turns the project owner’s ideas into a comprehensive plan. The architect works to identify and mitigate risk. In addition, the architect works with the design team to define the project’s vision and details. The architect creates a preliminary budget and a progress schedule based on customer needs.
The advocate architect ensures the design is on track and addresses any early concerns. They are not involved in the design itself but provide input to other consultants and assist the owner with decision-making.

Fees for advocate architect
Architects and engineers can be paid in a variety of ways. Fees can be based on a multiplier of the construction budget or an hourly fee. Alternatively, a fee can be based on a fixed fee. The advocate architect differs from a consulting architect with a contractual relationship with the owner.
Architects can perform many functions for a client, including identifying the most critical issues early in the design process. These activities may include setting up design intent, reviewing construction documents, and observing the construction process. A good advocate architect will also offer an honest opinion, which can lead to more cost-effective design solutions.
The Architect and Engineering Suggested Fee and Scope of Services Reference, an AIA document, is an excellent place to determine which services to pay for. It is voluntary but provides an excellent guide to determining appropriate fees for various job types. The page also has an online cost calculator.
The best advocate architect will offer various services, including project management, design, and technical analysis. Aside from the standard services, advocates will also provide input to other consultants and offer recommendations regarding project delivery methods. Aside from the usual suspects, a good advocate architect will also consider the owner’s goals and objectives while identifying the best approaches for achieving those goals.
