Tail the Architect and Get the Plans
Starting this mission is a little weird. Shortly after completing “Cleaning Out the Bureau”, Michael will receive a text from Franklin saying that he “might have something” on the architect. If you try phoning him it won’t connect. If you switch to him though, it will put you immediately into this mission. Franklin is on a construction site where Chip Peterson is working. You’ll have to follow him until you can get him alone to steal the plans. Don’t walk too close to any of the construction workers though, because if they see you they could blow your cover and alert everyone. As you walk in, the worker at the gate tosses you a hard hat. Close call.
Once past the gate, you’ll see the architect get out of his car and exclaim “Site Inspection!”. Walk after him at a discreet distance, avoiding anyone else who might take notice of you.
When he gets on one elevator, get on the other one, pressing 
/ 
when prompted to activate it.
At the top, wait for a minute while he berates some workers, then follow him around the corner.
Get the Architect to Give Up the Briefcase
Once he goes around the next corner and is out of sight of the construction workers, knock him out and grab the briefcase. Then turn around and run back the way you came because of the Gold Medal requirement:
- Quick Getaway: Leave the construction site within 00:45
Leave the Construction Site
Back down the elevators quick!
At the bottom run straight ahead out to the street, avoiding the construction workers on the right.
Go to the Garment Factory
Drive back to the garment factory, and go upstairs to trigger the planning board. Choose either the Fire Crew Approach or the Roof Entry Approach, and your crew then finalize your selections to end the mission.
This finishes Architect’s Plans in GTA V.
