Which party is responsible for producing procurement and construction documents and administering the construction contract?

• A. Owner
• B. AHJ
• C. Design Team
• D. Supplier Team

Answer: (C)

The design team is responsible for producing the procurement and construction documents and administering the construction contract. They create the drawings and specifications that define the project and guide bidding, procurement, and construction. During construction, they act as the contract administrator, handling submittals, RFIs, change orders, site instructions, and ensuring work conforms to the contract documents and design intent. The owner funds and approves, but does not generate the documents; the AHJ reviews code compliance; and the supplier team provides materials or services, not contract administration.
