He may not. But he is supervising the contractor and he designed the fence.







Does "supervising" mean that the architect is accountable for the contractor's actions? If the contractor does something seriously wrong, would the architect's firm bear the final responsibility?



If the architect's firm is not officially acting as the general contractor, I don't think they would be responsible for the actions of any individual contractors.

I've never seen anything like this. If I hired an architect, contractors, etc
and a neighbor was calling them up about what they did or didn't do wrong with
some contruction project, instead of just coming to me, I'd be ****ed. I
mean if a contractor backed into my car, yeah, then I'd just go talk to the
contractor. But if the contractor built a shed, fence, house, whatever on
my property, I would be talking to the property owner. Another example of
how small neighbor problems can get turned into major battles.
