When Specialty Designs Cause Building Disasters Responsibility for Shared Architectural and Engineering Services

Abstract
This Article examines the development, current legal status, and long-range legal implications of shared design. Of special interest is the practice of assigning significant responsibility for specialty design to those who have no direct contractual relationship with the owner of the project or the owner's primary design professional. This Article refers to that form of shared design as "specialty design-build" be- cause it uses specialty designers, trade contractors, and specialty sub- contractors both to furnish the design and to build, fabricate, or install specialized components of a project for which the owner's project architect or engineer ("project A/E")lO furnishes the broad design concepts.
