PROFESSIONAL AND SUB-CONSULTANT Sample Clauses

The 'Professional and Sub-Consultant' clause defines the relationship and responsibilities between the main professional (such as an architect or engineer) and any sub-consultants they engage for a project. It typically outlines how the professional may appoint sub-consultants, the standards to which sub-consultants must adhere, and the extent to which the main professional remains responsible for their work. For example, the clause may require that sub-consultants have appropriate qualifications and insurance, and that their services are coordinated with the overall project. This clause ensures that the quality and accountability of work performed by sub-consultants are maintained, thereby reducing the risk of disputes and clarifying lines of responsibility.
