In which situation can the Architect not seek additional compensation for changes made to the drawings?

The situation in which the Architect cannot seek additional compensation for changes made to the drawings is typically when the Owner demands revisions due to budget constraints. In the context of architectural practice, if an owner needs to reduce costs or align the project with a specific budget, this often leads to requests for revisions or alterations that may not fall under the standard conditions for additional compensation. The agreement between the architect and the owner generally emphasizes that budgetary constraints should have been anticipated or included in the initial project planning and scope.

In contrast, aesthetic changes, miscommunications with the contractor, or changes resulting from new building codes might warrant additional compensation as they stem from various situations outside the architect's control or for which they are not inherently liable. Aesthetic changes often require additional design effort, miscommunication can necessitate rework, and adaptations to new building codes generally involve unanticipated requirements that are typically compensable under standard contracts.
