Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, E

Per AIA B101-2017 6.1, the 'Cost of the Work' includes items designed or specified by the architect in the construction contract. FF&E and owner-provided landscape features (like plants, art, and loose furniture) are typically excluded, as these may be contracted separately by the owner or coordinated outside basic architectural services.

I practiced a similar question, and I think plumbing fixtures should be included, but I'm uncertain about the landscape plants.

If I recall correctly, roofing materials are usually included, so maybe we should look at HVAC equipment and furnishings as exclusions.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about not including landscaping in the cost estimate.

I think we might need to exclude items that aren't part of the basic services, like furniture and equipment design.
