The Division of Architecture designs and prepares
building surveys, preliminary drawings, estimates, detail drawings
and specifications for all buildings under the charge of the Department
of Public Service and provides these same services to other Departments
of the City, upon written request.
In actual practice, the Division furnishes the various
Departments and Divisions with all architectural and engineering
services required for their building programs. These services
include the necessary consultations, preparation of contracts,
drawings and specifications, the supervision of construction and
the approval of payments to contractors. When private architectural
firm or consultants are retained for special projects, the Division
of Architecture provides programming, coordinates and supervises
all phases of such projects.
