Are architects agents of the owner? The agent creates a legally binding relationship

between third party and principal, for instance in a CM as Agent project, the principal is the

client and the Contractor is the third party.

Architects are NOT agents of the owner (unless the owner would like them to be and a formal

agreement is drawn up). That means, the architect can't, while walking the site, claim to speak

for the owner when talking to the contractor!
