Essay

During a routine visit to the construction site, the project architect observes that the exterior wall cladding of the building is being installed before installing the windows (that are available on the site). The project architect's experience is that this sequence of construction will compromise the aesthetics and workmanship of the wall and discusses the issue with the general contractor (GC), who disagrees. What should be the project architect's follow- up step?
