Dear Client,
As the lead architect, I support the decision for the use of the hall before completion of
the project. Since this is an agreement between me and the client, you are liable for any issues
that arise once I hand over the project to you. You should note that this would lead to a change in
the practical completion agreement. The contract should be finalized and is ready for use on this
date. This will ensure that the defects and incomplete work are minimal. This will also entail
approval from the relevant authorities and commissioning tests to ensure the safety of the
construction. If the project is handed over to you at this this, these activities will have to be
ignored (Long, 2015). Moreover, this would mean that the practical completion has occurred.
As the client, you are liable for any issues that arise during the defect liability phase. You
can now use the construction subject the approval of the necessary authorities. You also take
over the role of insuring the building. We will prove a final certificate before the completion of
the project. This shows that the defect liability period has been completed, and the contact
between the client and architect has been finalized. We will also carry out a financial adjustment
since we will not carry out any aspects of the project that were part of the initial agreement. The
retention cash will also be returned to you. You also have the defect liability. You are

responsible for any issues or repairs that could have occurred during the defect liability phase.
This means that you are not protected from any issues that arise after the occupation of the
premises. You are responsible for all the finances and deliverables. The activities that are
expected to occur during the defect liability phase will be done early to ensure a timely handover

Dear SMMB,
We are still progressing with the work as fast as we come. However, we believe that an
extension of time is essential to ensure that the project will be completed. We hereby request for
10 additional days to cater for the destruction from the rains. This involves clean up efforts to
reduce the impact from the rains. We have attached photographs showing the damage done by
the rains. The additional time will also cater to for the time lost during the rainy conditions.
Scenario Letters 4
The weather conditions have had devastating implications on the project. It has been
impossible for workers to continue with constructions due to the rains. Additionally, the rain
creates additional risks such as electrocution for the workers who are working with equipment
that relies on electricity like drills. The visibility is also minimized during the rains (Architects,
2009).
Several actions have to occur to deal with the damages. This will involve preventing
additional water from draining into the site using barricades. Moreover, the excess water should
be drained from the site. The excavated earth in site will also be removed from the site to prevent
it from filling the excavation site again. This should be done in a timely manner to prevent
The additional work will lead to additional costs. The costs will arise from equipment
rentals to pump the excess water from the site, disruption, productivity loss, overtime, and fuel
costs to move the debris and excavated materials to another location. If the funds are in place, the
work will resume swiftly after the extra days have been catered for. We are commuted to ensure
that the contractual agreement is achieved. Your cooperation in resolving these issues will be
highly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,

FEE ADJUSTMENTS

Dear client,
This scenario letter seeks to bring to your attention the need to increase the fees for the
project. The indoor sports facility will require additional supplies that are costly, that this will
affect what has to be bought for the HVAC and swimming pool. New changes in the project
require additional finances to ensure their completion, and that we will use the highest quality
materials. This is essential to guarantee the durability and sustainability of the project (ICE,
2016).
The cost implications will arise from the purchase of the materials required foe the
HVAC and swimming pool. This will involve cement, pumps, tiles, paint, steel, and pipes. We
will also require a larger tank to ensure constant supply of water and that the swimming pool will
be filled with water quickly. Additional finances will be spent on Quantity Surveyors who would
ensure that the project meets the required specifications. The redesign of the swimming pool will
require more finances, and this will be based on an agreement between the client and us. Based
on the nature of the redesign, we will charge an hourly rate of 130 Australian dollars.
Several alternatives will have to be considered for the sports facility. In this regard, to
improve the environment and beauty of the construction, we would suggest planting deciduous
trees around the facility. This will prove beneficial in creating an appealing microclimate (Long,
2015). Furthermore, it will minimize the cost implications of redesigning the HVAC. You should

We would also appeal that you provide any suggestions you think are suitable for the new
developments. We will be more than happy to integrate them, and ensure that your needs have
been met by the project. I guarantee that we will have an open line of communication during the
entire project. We are honored for the opportunity to allow our firm to carry out the project. The
contract will be forthcoming soon so that we can discuss and finalize the arrangements before we

Re: Consultants
Dear client,
We would like to appreciate the assistance and dedication of the MP towards the success
and completion of this project. Through the MP, it was possible to get the required financing for
the project, and this ensured we had all the required support. This also guaranteed that the project
meets the contractual agreement. It is a fact that the time required to complete the project was
minimal. This meant that we would have to hasten the pace to ensure that the project was
completed on time. Additionally, some recommendations and suggestions had been put in place
that made the project impractical. However, we were able to overcome these issues to ensure that
the requirements of the contract were met upon completion of the project.
The site is compliant with the site-specific LEP amendment. This arises from the use of
certifications and inspection services that are required for the project. They will be used from
time to time, and the client is obligated to accept any changes that are required to ensure that the
project is successful. Moreover, we engaged with a consultancy firm for all our needs to ensure
that we integrated new planning policies and provision by the local government and council
(ICE, 2016). It entails zoning or land use, development standards and assessment needs. This
will ensure that the approval process will not face any risks when it goes through the Joint
