Getting everyone on the same page
An influential architects&rsquo; group is warning that growing resistance to its members&rsquo; involvement in construction is increasing the likelihood of errors. Their oversight of the process, known as construction administration, is a traditional part of an architectural firm&rsquo;s services. <p><a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~a/vertical_51?a=O8YG0J"><img src="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~a/vertical_51?i=O8YG0J" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~f/vertical_51?a=c5ImCI"><img src="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~f/vertical_51?i=c5ImCI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~f/vertical_51?a=qKuwoi"><img src="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~f/vertical_51?i=qKuwoi" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~f/vertical_51?a=ystTni"><img src="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~f/vertical_51?i=ystTni" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~f/vertical_51?a=0oSMfI"><img src="http://feeds.bizjournals.com/~f/vertical_51?i=0oSMfI" border="0"></img></a> </div>
Outlook dims for activity during balance of year
Players in Charlotte&rsquo;s construction industry are like the crew of a ship in peril.
