What happens is that you dont use those contract documents. These primary AIA documents define the “tri-partite” roles for the design-bid-build delivery method. Anything beyond that is outside the realm of the CSE.
The owner = architect scenario is pretty rare and not worth the effort to look into unless its a real life scenario. Its sort of like “what is the sound of one hand clapping?”
The owner = contractor is more of a developer scenario. “Owner-builder”. Also its common on residential projects where private owners want to take on the role of GC and hire subs.
