attchitect calls for afci brakers to feed all gfci proteced circuits such as kitchen area ,bathrooms etc where required. will this efect the operation of the electrions of said devices in the way that they function? never saw this done.

Electrically it's fine.

It will work and legal but is waste of money and will confuse customer if 1 or both trip.
Personally i thing he is a nut.

Tell the Architect that he's on the hook to pay for the labor of troubleshooting the nuisance trips on the AFCIs that are installed for the circuits not required by 210.12.

I wonder what they would think of you?

Most of what we install is not required I am still on the hook to install it correctly and guarantee it if I supplied it.

If one or more 'tripped' would that not indicate a problem?

If the home runs ran in walls or joist near bedrooms would this not be additional protection for the occupants.

As Bob said we get paid to properly install the electric.

Local supply house has indicated to me that their AFCIs do not nuisance trip. They are functioning as designed. The load is the problem.:roll:
