4.2 Professional Fee Plus 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.
4.3 Lump Sum or Fixed Fee
This method may be applied to government
projects since they entail more paper work
and time-consuming efforts.
4.4 Per Diem, Honorarium Plus Reimbursable

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.
For these particular activities, the
Architect as agent of the Owner may be paid
on a per diem and honorarium basis plus out-
of-pocket expenses such as but not limited
