Architect as CM Agent

wutactch

This will come off as a weird question but I'm interested to see what people have to see on the legalities of this.

I have someone who wants to hire me to help them select a builder on a house that I didn't do. In fact I think the plan is from an online plan generator. 

Am I allowed to take on a project like this where I take them through the bid process and do a limited version of Construction Administration? This looks very similar to what Construction Management as an Agent would do or maybe even an realtor. 

Thoughts?

Can your cients get a building permit without architect stamped plans?  I don't see any problems provided you don't have to stamp the plans.   Stamping it could get you in trouble for "plan stamping" (stamping plans by others not really under your direct/control supervision) which is not permitted in many states.  Check the laws in your jurisdiction.
