When is an architect expected to pay for a design error?

Question by Minnow: When is an architect expected to pay for a design error?

On a residential project, the cost of a mistake made by a contractor is routinely absorbed by the contractor. In this case, our architect made a design error that will cost us over ,000 to fix. Is there a similar expectation that an architect absorbs the financial impact of his/her mistakes?

Guys from the Skip Barber racing school build take a car designed in SolidWorks and turn it into a giant sand sculpture. The Skip Barber Racing School is the world’s largest racing and driving school, instructing nearly 12000 students annually and maintaining a fleet of 150 racecars, 100 production vehicles, and 12 transporters. By deploying SolidWorks® software, Skip Barber Racing reduced design time by as much as 80 percent, improved racecar performance, cut development costs, and minimized design errors. The company chose SolidWorks software because of its value, ease of use, and compatibility with strategic partners and vendors. Skip Barber engineers were also impressed with the software’s large-assembly and sheet-metal design capabilities, as well as its integrated SolidWorks Simulation analysis, SolidWorks product data management (PDM), and SolidWorks eDrawings® design communications applications.
