FOREWORD

This Handbook provides architectural/engineering instructions for HUD

personnel, architects and sponsors in the design and construction of

Multifamily projects under mortgage insurance programs and those
programs

which follow mortgage insurance procedures.

The primary objectives of the Handbook are to standardize procedures

for all Field Offices; to provide the basis for sound architectural

conclusions; to aid the determination of acceptability and desirability
of

proposals; and to guide architects and sponsors to architectural
submissions

that will allow processing to commitment and through construction as
rapidly

as the circumstances of the specific case will permit.

These instructions do not designate duties according to job titles or

job descriptions but describe the duties and functions of Field Office

architectural and engineering staff. Reference to the Production Branch

Chief means the Chief of the architectural, engineering and cost
functions or

person acting in that capacity. Reference to the Design Representative
or

the Inspector is to any person acting in that capacity.
