Such meetings are also necessary to review contractor and subcontractor bills, payments, changes, etc. Committee members should do regular” walk-throughs” to determine that what is being done is according to what was intended and that the quality of work is to your satisfaction. Said meeting will usually include the attendance of the architect.
