STANDARD PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE 2010
General:
1. Establish the things on how things work and what activities

are there before even the ‘signing of the contract’
2. Focus on the services of an Architect.
3. Be wary of the minimum basic fees that the Architect will be
compensated for
4. The importance of how will the Architect be compensated
in the whole or for each phase in the development of the
project
5. Then, how to be compensated and to be paid is also a
different matter.
STANDARD PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE 2010
General:
6. Architect’s are not only for the Architectural Design of the

project, there are a lot of services that can be focused
through but requires some specialization
7. Differentiate the functions of the Project Manager and
Construction Manager
8. A practice which lets the Architect’s Design and to also Build
Obligations of the Owner for the Project
9. Liabilities and Limitations of each Professional in the Field
including the ‘Architect’
10. Ways to be selected for the Project by different methods
and applications
SELECTION OF THE ARCHITECT
Direct Selection
 For relatively ‘Small’ Projects
1. Reputation
2. Personal or Business Acquaintance from a Friend
3. Recommendation from an Architect or a Client (Former)
4. Recommendation from an another client

Comparative Selection
 There is analysis of CV’s, skills, experience, reputation, and

even projects erected
Though, the process involved is:

1. Invitation
2. Pre-Qualification
3. Interview
4. Verification
5. Evaluation and Ranking
6. Negotiation
Design Competition
 Used for ‘Civic or Monumental Projects where ‘Architects’ or

‘Firms’ are involved.
 Advantages:
1. Opportunities for RLA’s to showcase their works without
being liable to the Code of Ethical Conduct
2. The point where Architect’s can submit design proposals in
a same time
3. A time when an Architect can do design concepts parallel
to the other Designing Architects.
 Advantages:
4. The client or committee has the widest range of options to
choose to
5. If, Government, they don’t need to expend anything for
the design, they just need to pick on where they will
award the project (Architectural Design)
 Disadvantages:
1. Expensive and Time Consuming (For the Applicants)
2. Time and Effort required may discouraged qualified firms
from entering
3. Unscrupulous Clients will seek free services under the guise
of the Design Competition where there is a breach under
the Ownership and Copyrights
4. Not really done on Small Projects
