Clients want the whole package just on the architect fee.
Here in Portugal, after many many years of battle, only Architects can practice and licence Architecture. So the client come to us and we coordinate all the specialties. The total fees include all trades.

Here in Portugal, the government, in agreement with all AEC, legislate that only professional with a degree in Architecture have proper formation to design and licence buildings with more than 40 sqm that can be well integrated in their surrounds. An Engineer or a technician don't have in their formation, notions of Ergonomic Design, Proportion, Balance, History of Art, etc.

I agree that CYPE output documents are not for the Architect "taste". But you can always reference them inside AC and tune it for better readability.
About modeling (without analysis part) inside AC: Can´t you do this with regular AC tools, like CP/Columns? And besides this, you always have to do the analysis on CYPE, right? So why don't do all on CYPE and reference it on AC?

On the other hand, the contractor and structrural engineer have much more responsability in terms of liability than the architect. I understand that in spain for example the architect is the one responsible for the structrural stability of the building even though it is calculated by an engineer.

I would also be interested in hearing about why these companies are not happy with Revit.
