§ 4703.182.
(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, any person who performs labor
or who provides services pursuant to a construction contract may offer or provide
architectural services in connection with the person's own labor or services if all
of the following apply: (1) The architectural services are provided and performed by an architect registered
under this chapter or by a firm holding a certificate of authorization granted pursuant
to this chapter through either direct employment or independent contract with the
person contracting with the owner and offering the services. (2) The architectural services are offered by the person who intends to perform the actual
construction of an improvement to real property as part of a design-build contract. (3) The contractor, the architect registered under this chapter, or the firm holding
a certificate of authorization granted pursuant to this chapter meets the requirements
of section 153.70 of the Revised Code when design-build services are provided to a public authority as defined in section 153.65 of the Revised Code . (B) Except as otherwise provided in this section, no person shall offer or engage in
the practice of architecture without a certificate of authorization for any construction
contract that is to be constructed by another person, or hold himself or herself out
to the public as engaging in the practice of architecture or as providing architectural
services without a certificate of authorization. (C) As used in this section: (1) “ Construction contract ” means any oral or written agreement that involves any activity in connection with
the erection, alteration, repair, replacement, renovation, installation, or demolition
of any building, structure, highway, or bridge. (2) “ Design-build ” means a project delivery system for improvements to real property by which a person
is solely responsible contractually as a contractor to an owner for both the design
and construction of the improvement, which design and construction may include a performance-based
specification established by the owner rather than a specific design as an improvement
goal. As used in this division, “ contractor ” has the same meaning as in section 4113.61 of the Revised Code .
