SCOPE OF SERVICES - REGULAR DESIGN SERVICES
Project Definition Phase
Schematic Design Phase
Design Development Phase
Contract Document Phase
Bidding or Negotiation Phase
Construction Phase
This phase involves the definition of the requirements of the project by the Owner. The Architect
in turn informs the Owner of the technical requirements of the project and the concomitant
professional fees. In this phase, the Architect:
2.1.1. consults with the Owner to ascertain the conceptual framework and related requirements
of the project and confirms such requirements with him.
2.1.2. gathers relevant information and data leading to the definition of the requirements of the
project, including the scope of the Architect’s services.
2.1.3. reviews and refines the owner’s space requirements and translates them into an
architectural program.
2.1.4. prepares an initial statement of probable construction cost.
Project Definition Phase
This phase consists of the preparation of schematic design studies derived from the Project
Definition Phase, leading to conceptual plans. The Architect:
2.2.1 evaluates the Owner’s program, schedule, budget, project site and proposes methods of
project deliveries.
2.2.2 prepares the initial line drawings representing design studies leading to a recommended
solution, including a general description of the project for approval by the Owner.
2.2.3 submits to the Owner a Statement of the Probable Project Construction Cost (SPPCC)
based on current cost parameters.
Schematic Design Phase
Based on approved schematics and conceptual plans, the Architect prepares:
2.3.1 the Design Development documents consisting of plans, elevations, sections and other
drawings,
2.3.2 outline specifications to fix and illustrate the size and character of the entire project as to
type of materials, type of structural, electrical, mechanical, sanitary, electronic and
communications systems.
2.3.3 diagrammatic layout of construction systems, and
2.3.4 an updated SPPCC for submission to the Owner.
Design Development Phase
Based on the approved Design Development Documents, the Architect:
2.4.1 prepares the complete Contract Documents consisting of detailed designs and construction drawings, setting forth in detail the work required for the architectural,
structural, electrical, plumbing/ sanitary, mechanical, electronic and communication works
prepared by the Architect and the respective professionals involved.
2.4.2 prepares Technical Specifications describing type and quality of materials, finish, manner
of construction and the general conditions under which the project is to be constructed.
2.4.3 submits to the Owner seven (7) sets of all construction drawings and technical
specifications for purposes of obtaining a building permit.
2.4.4 updates the SPPCC based on changes in scope, requirements or market conditions.
2.4.5 assists the Owner in filing the required documents to secure approval of government
authorities having jurisdiction over the design of the Project.
Contract Document Phase
In this phase, the Architect:
a. prepares the Bid Documents such as forms for contract letting, documents for
construction, forms for invitation and instruction to bidders, forms for bidders’
proposals, general / specific conditions of contract, etc.
b. assists the Owner from the early stage of establishing a list of prospective
Contractors to awarding of the construction contract.
Bidding or Negotiation Phase
In this phase, the Architect performs the following:
2.6.1 makes decisions on all claims of the Owner and Contractors on all matters relating to the
execution and progress of work or the interpretation of the Contract Documents.
2.6.2 prepares change orders, gathers and turns over to the Owner written guarantees
required of the Contractor and Sub-Contractors.
2.6.3 makes periodic visits to the project site to familiarize himself with the general progress
and quality of work and to ascertain that the work is proceeding in accordance with the
Contract Documents. The Architect shall not be required to make exhaustive or
continuous 8-hour on-site supervision to check on the quality of the work involved and
shall not be held responsible for the Contractor’s failure to carry out the Construction
work in accordance with the Contract Documents. During such project site visits and on
the basis of his observations, he shall report to the Client defects and deficiencies noted
in the work of Contractors, and shall condemn work found failing to conform to the
Contract Documents.
2.6.4 determines the amount owing and due to the Contractor and issues corresponding
Certificates for Payment for such amounts based on his observations and the
Contractor’s Applications for Payment. These Certificates will constitute a certification to
the Client that the work has progressed to the state indicated and that to his best

Contract Documents. The Architect shall conduct the necessary inspection to determine
the date of substantial and final completion and issue the final Certificate of Payment to
the Contractor.
2.6.5 Should more extensive inspection or full-time (8-hour) construction supervision be
required by the Client, a separate full-time supervisor shall be hired and agreed upon by
the Owner and the Architect subject to the conditions provided in the SPP Document on
Full -Time Supervision. When the Architect is requested by the Owner to do the full time
supervision, his services and fees shall be covered separately in conformance with the
applicable and appropriate SPP Document.
Construction Phase
MANNER OF PROVIDING SERVICES
