Standards of Professional Practice (SPP)
What is PRBoA
Professional Regulatory Board of Architecture
What is PRC
Professional Regulation Commission
It covers a broad line of architectural services ranging from
initial problem identification to activities that would allow the Architect to initially
conceptualize an array of architectural and allied solutions;
Pre- Design Services
When a Client calls upon the Architect to give oral or written advice and
direction, to attend conferences, to make evaluations and appraisals
regarding a contemplated project and similar activities, the Architect renders
valuable inputs whether or not the Client pursues the project.
Consultation
These preliminary studies involve the procurement, analysis and use of
secondary information gathered for the project to aid the Client in early
decision-making.
Pre-Feasibility Studies
This entails the formulation of site criteria, assistance to the Client in site
evaluation as well as analysis to determine the most appropriate site/s for a
proposed project or building program
Site Selection and Analysis
Detailed analysis of the project based on pre-feasibility studies will determine
the viability of a proposed development. The studies will set the project
against present and future trends to forecast how it will perform over time.
This requires primary data gathering and analysis.
Feasibility Studies
The detailed analysis of the site involves the identification of a site’s
development potentials through the proper utilization of land. The analysis
covers the context of the site as well as that of its surrounding environment
and the development controls that apply to the site and its environs.
Site Utilization and Land-Use Studies
It entails the conduct of primary and secondary
researches and assembled facts used as basis for conclusion.
Architectural Research
This analytical problem-seeking process will lead to the statement and
identification of both horizontal and vertical requirements in offering a
solution. It incorporates a space program with characterizations of the envisioned spaces such as ambiance, cost range, etc.
Architectural
The Architect determines the adequate size and appropriate configuration
and assemblage for a proposed project in consideration of the use, allocation
and interface of spaces for given activities.
Space Planning
An analysis of the space requirements of the project based on organizational
structure and functional set-up pinpoints linkages and interaction of spaces.
The formulation of the space program will serve as the basis for the
development of the architectural plan/design.
Space Management Studies
This technique is applied in the cost management process to minimize the
negative effect of simplified operations associated with many cost-reduction
programs. The goal of value management is to achieve an unimpaired
program at minimum cost
Value Management
Under design brief preparation, the Architect states the project terms of
reference (ToR) including the concept, objectives and other necessary
requirements to bid out architectural services (whether public or private)
Design Brief Preparation
Projects may require this in order to develop and generate financial support and acceptance from governing agencies or from the
general public. In such cases, the Architect can act as the agent of the Owner
by producing and coordinating the additional activities necessary to complete
the services.
Promotional Services
After the initial meeting/ conversation/ correspondence with the Client, the
Architect must submit his proposal for pre-design services, stating the
following:
- Scope of Work
- Manner of Payment
- Owner’s Responsibilities
- Other Conditions of Services
The Architect can render services in any of the following ways:
- As an individual
- Architect’s Own Staff
- By Association, Consultation or Networking
Compensation for Pre-Design Services may be based on one or
more of the following:
- Multiple of Direct Personnel Expenses
- Professional Fee Plus Expenses
- Lump Sum or Fixed Fee
- Per Diem, Honorarium Plus Reimbursable Expenses
This method of compensation is frequently used where there is continuing
relationship involving a series of Projects. It establishes a fixed sum over and
above the reimbursement for the Architect’s technical time and overhead. An
agreement on the general scope of the work is necessary in order to set an
equitable fee.
Professional Fee Plus Expenses
This method may be applied to government projects since they entail more
paper work and time-consuming efforts.
Lump Sum or Fixed Fe
In some cases a Client may request an Architect to do work which will require
his personal time such as:
4.4.1 attending project-related meetings, conferences or trips;
4.4.2 conducting ocular inspection of possible project sites; and
4.4.3 conferring with others regarding prospective investments or ventures
and the like.
Per Diem, Honorarium Plus Reimbursable Expens
