How much liability insurance is an architect in Canada required to have?
Answer - AIBC Bulletin 66, AIBC Bylaw 16.3 & Architect's Act
Depends on the province; in BC Architects are not required to have any liability
insurance according to AIBC Bylaw 16.2d but Bulletin 66 requires that (before
entering into an agreement to provide architectural services) a Certificate of
Practice holder must notify the client in writing whether or not professional
liability insurance is held and under what terms.
Section 24.2h in the Architect's Act states that an institute's bylaws may or may
not include requirements for liability insurance; in BC, there is no requirement.
What resources are available to an architect to produce a project cost
estimate? Answer - CHOP 2.3.3, Techniques
There are various types of cost consultants and/or resources available to the
architect to produce a reliable estimate if they do not have the expertise or
resources to produce one in-house.
Quantity Surveyors - provide professional service at hourly rates, or at a fixed
or percentage fee of the construction budget.
Construction Managers and other Development/Construction Experts - Other
sources of expertise directly from the construction industry include
construction managers, contractors, design-builders, and developers.
,Construction Price Index - data usually published by government agencies and
private companies. These publications are useful only as a guide to show
trends; usually some months out-of-date; often presented in graph form for
ease of communication.
Publications - available from government agencies, private interest groups,
private companies, and quantity surveyors. The
information comes in printed or electronic form, and the cost varies
considerably depending on the amount of detail, completeness, and ease of
use. Data from government agencies are more useful for identifying trends and
differences in national, regional, and local costs than for calculating the cost of
a specific building.

, What are 3 different methods of construction estimation? Answer - CHOP
2.3.3, Methods of Preparing Cost Estimates & Hanscomb Yardstick for Costing,
2004
1. Composite unit rates (broken into specification sections)
Uses very simplified historic data as a basis for calculating cost. Only reliable if
the historic data is comparable.
2. Gross building costs or area calculation (least accurate)
Cost per m2 or per ft2. Architects should limit the use of this basic information
by using it only as a general guide at the pre-design stage.
3. Elemental building costs (most comprehensive)
Quantity surveyors often use this method as the standard format for presenting
cost information. It divides the building into major elements such as structure,
exterior closure; and then applies relevant cost information from similar
projects.
