SCHEDULE 2. Standard form Client and Architect Agreements and Related Documents
USER GUIDE FOR THE RAIA/ACA CLIENT AND ARCHITECT AGREEMENT FORM (Long
Form)
SECTION A. Engagement
Section A sets out the legal framework and underpinning principles of the agreement including:
The responsibilities and entitlements of the architect are set out in Section B. These include:
The architect’s right to charge additional fees, where additional services or non-standard contracts
are to be used
The architect’s responsibility to comply with relevant legislation, codes and statutory requirements
Definition of the architects responsibilities and obligations while providing the services
Section C sets out the client’s responsibilities in addition to paying the fees. These include:
10 | P a g e
Setting and being responsible for the project brief, budget and program
The agreement allows for the fees to be charged on a percentage, lump sum or hourly rate basis of
the fees to differ for each or any stage of the project.
He right of the architect to charge fees and recover disbursements is established, as is the client’s
obligation to pay.
In addition to dealing with a variation or change in the scope of the service, this section covers the
architect’s rights, where the services are deferred or protracted.
The method of dispute resolution is defined and the agreement allows either party to terminate the
agreement.
On termination, the client must pay any fees rightfully due to the architect, but is entitled to receive
copies of all the documents prepared for the project by the architect.
SCHEDULES
Schedule 1. Provides a detailed description of the project for which the architect has been engaged.
Schedule 2. Defines the scope of service. This is divided into the four recognized stages of:
Detailed design
Documentation with sub-stages for design documentation and contract documentation; and
Contract administration with substages for tendering, contract administration and post construction
services.
Item 2 of schedule 2 allows the parties to identify supplementary services that the architect will
provide, which will attract additional fees.
Schedule 3. Enables the parties to define the reports, specifications, drawings, and other
documents to be provided at each stage of the project, as well as the number of copies of each
that will be provided.
Schedule 4. Allows the parties to identify any specialized consultant that will be required for the
project and the responsibility for employing them.
Schedule 5. Identifies the representatives responsible for the project, the person responsible for
the verification and approval of documents (QA) and the amount of professional indemnity
insurance and the architect must carry.
Schedule 6. Sets out the basis and amount of the fees for the project and associated matters.
Schedule 7. Defines the terms and conditions that apply, where data is to be transferred
electronically.
11 | P a g e
Schedule 8. Identifies the reimbursable expenses that will apply to the project.
Schedule 9. Allows either party to define any matters or aspects of the project that they wish to
remain confidential.
Schedule 10. Allows each specialist consultant (either sub-consultant or secondary consultant) to
be identified and have the scope of services clearly defined. Item 3 allows the same for other,
separate suppliers.
CONCLUSION
It is expected that both architects and their clients will discover that the new Client and Architect
Agreement will enable them to more clearly and accurately describe the project and its constraints
and to define the services to be provided by the architect. This should assist the parties in avoiding
differences, misunderstanding or disputes.
USER GUIDE FOR THE RAIA/ACA CLIENT AND ARCHITECT AGREEMENT (Short Form)
Clause 1.1
It is important for the architect to check the details of the services described in clause 3. Where the
services listed in the agreement do not cover specific requirements, additional services should be
added under ‘other’.
Clause 1.2
While this clause establishes the architect as the agent for the client for the project, in some States
and Territories it is necessary to have specific approval in relation to applications and other
submissions. Where the client is a married couple it is wise and may be necessary to have
approval of both parties.
Clause 1.3
Architects are not quantity surveyors or builders and therefore cost estimates provided by them are
only estimates and should never be considered to be any form of guarantee, quotation or tender
for works. The architect should make sure that the client clearly understands the degree of
accuracy of any estimate that is provided.
Clause 1.4
Three options are available for the engagement of other consultants; by the client, by the architect
or a combination. Where engaged by the architect, the architect or a combination. Where engaged
by the architect, the architect becomes responsible for the performance of the consultant. It is
prudent, in such cases, to ensure that the consultants are covered for professional negligence to
the extent required by their contribution to the project.
Clause 1.7
The architect should always inform the client when the client issues an instruction which will involve
additional fees.
Clause 1.8
12 | P a g e
The architect should provide the client with an estimate of the additional fees.
Clause 1.9
The architect may not assign, transfer or sublet the obligations under the agreement without the
consent of the client.
Clause 1.10
The architect is responsible for keeping the client informed. The means of doing so should be
discussed and agreed between the parties.
Clause 1.11
It is important for clients to understand that fee invoices will be submitted on a regular basis as the
work progresses and that payment is expected promptly. Invoices should not be linked to
submissions, for example, sketch plans or approvals by either authorities or clients, as this implies
that delaying approval is justification for delaying payment. This clause gives the architect the
option of charging interest for slow or delayed payment of invoices. The clause also includes GST.
Clause 1.12
The architect retains copyright. The client has a license to build the project but only on the site for
which it was designed.
Clause 1.13
The client should understand that the architect has the right to revoke the license where the client
fails to pay the architect’s fees under this agreement.
Clause 1.14
The parties have equal rights to refer disputes or disagreements to mediation or another
recognized form of dispute resolution.
Clause 1.15
Both parties have equal rights to terminate the agreement in the manner set out in the agreement.
Clause 2.1
As noted under clause 1.2, the client needs to understand the independant role of the architect
when certifying and assessing.
Clause 2.2
The client is clearly responsible for giving the architect all the necessary information required for
the architect to provide the services. This includes a realistic budget that reflects the scope and
extent of work envisaged by the brief. It is helpful for the architect to prepare a list of the items and
details that the architect will need in order to provide the services envisaged.
Clause 2.6
The architect should explain to the client that design is an interactive and consultative process and
that their participation is critical to the success of the outcome.
13 | P a g e
The client needs to recognize that design often involves tradeoffs and decisions that may alter
aspects of their original brief. As the design develops and give approval sketch plans, details,
materials, finishes or the like, then the approved submission becomes their briefed requirement.
Clause 2.7
The client acknowledges that the architect retains copyright or the design. The client has the right
to build the project under license but only on the site for which it was designed.
Clause 2.8
The parties have equal rights to refer disputes or disagreements to mediation or another
recognized form of dispute resolution.
Clause 2.9
Clause 2.10
In the event that the agreement is terminated, the client is obligued to pay all fees properly due to
the architect at the time of termination.
3. The Services
Clause 3.1
The client and the architect should agree on who will engage other consultants required for the
project. The option exists for these consultants to be engaged by the client, by the architect or a
combination of the two suited to the needs of the project.
The services to be provided by the architect are set out generally in chronological order under the
widely recognized four stages: sketch plans, detailed design, documentation and contract
administration. Sketch plans includes two subsections, pre-design and design. Contract
administration includes subsections for tendering, administration and post completion services.
Each of the four sections provides the opportunity to include additional services and there are a
number of occasions where the client should approve the design or documentation prior to the
architect proceeding to the next stage.
Clause 3.2
In the pre-design stage the architect assembles all of the details necessary for the design to begin.
These include the client’s brief and budget, the need for other consultants and their brief, site
constraints and authorities requirements. Only once all of this information is available can be the
architect begin design.
The design is developed and a cost estimate is prepared and reviewed against the budget
that should be confirmed as adequate.
Before proceeding to detailed design, the client’s approval of the design and cost estimate
should be obtained.
14 | P a g e
Clause 3.3
Detailed design takes the approved sketch design and develops and adds detail, refinement and
clarification to all aspects of the design. The work of other consultants is coordinated and
integrated with the architectural design and documentation. It is common at the end of this stage to
make application for planning approval.
Clause 3.4
Once approved by the client and by the planning authority, documentation begins. This stage
develops and refines the design into construction documentation and develops the specification in
the lead up to tendering and construction. The building contract is selected and the preliminary
clauses for the specification are prepared. The documentation prepared by other consultants is
coordinated with the architectural documentation.
Clause 3.5
The architect should advise the client of the options for tendering works and recommend the
preferred method of doing so. The architect will manage the tendering process; answer queries
from tenderers and the client should be invited to attend the tender opening. The architect will
assess the tenders and make a recommendation to the client regarding which tender should be
accepted.
The architect prepares the contract documents and arranges signing by both parties.
The architect will administer the contract on the client’s behalf and advise where and when
actions are required by the client. The architect will arrange for provisional sums and prime
cost allowances to be finalized as required by the works.
During contract administration the architect is required to assess claims from the builder for
extensions of time, variations and progress payments. The architect must act fairly and
impartially in these matters and not as the client’s agent.
The architect will visit the site on a regular basis, check on the quality of work and progress,
arrange and conduct site meetings and provide clarifications and supplementary details to the
builder as required. The client may attend the site meetings or arrange with the architect for
separate site meetings/inspections.
The architect will deal with claims from the builder for variations, extensions of time and progress
payments and provide regular reports to the client on the rate of progress, the quality of work and
provide certification of progress payments which are to be paid by the client.
At practical completion, the architect will inspect the works and provide the builder with a list of
items (defects list) requiring completion or rectification before the works can be occupied or used.
Once these items are complete a notice of practical completion is issued and the client takes over
the works.
15 | P a g e
During the defects liability period, the builder is required to rectify faults that develop which are
attributable to the builder’s activities. These faults do not include wear and tear or damage caused
by others. At the end of the defects liability period the architect will inspect the works and issue a
final defects list, which the builder must rectify before the contract can be completed. Once all
defects have been rectified the architect will issue a final financial statement, a final progress
payment certificate and a final certificate.
4. The Fees
The architect and the client should negotiate and agree the basis upon which fees for the services
to be provided by the architect will be assessed for the project. The agreement provides for the
opportunity to assess fees on a percentage, lump sum or hourly rate basis or any combination of
the three. All options allow for the GST.
Clause 4.1
The agreement provides flexibility for the fees for each stage to be set on the basis of a percentage,
lump sum or hourly rate depending on the nature of the project and the services that are to be
provided.
Clause 4.2
Percentage fees are usually established using the current edition of the RAIA Fee Guide and,
traditionally, the fee has been divided as follows:
Clause 4.3
Lump sum fees are more difficult to establish at the beginning of a commission, unless there is a
detailed and clear brief of the client’s requirements. It may be more realistic to use this form of fee
structure once design has been developed, for example after sketch plans have been completed.
Clause 4.4
This section of the fee schedule should be completed for all projects, even where percentage or
lump sum fees are to be used. Hourly rate fees may be required, if the extent of services is
expanded, the services become protracted due to delay, or if the brief is changed.
Clause 4.5
The interest rate for overdue accounts would normally be set at the bank overdraft rate current at
the time of signing the agreement. Where this is to be applied, it is recommended that invoices
include words similar to the following:
16 | P a g e
5. Reimbursable Expenses
Most, if not all, projects will involve costs and charges that are generally not included in the
architect’s fee. This schedule allows for these to be paid directly by the client, paid on a
reimbursable basis by the architect, for them to be included in the architect’s fee. Provision is made
for the architect to charge a service fee to cover the costs associated with handling disbursements
on behalf of the client.
6. Special Conditions
Section 6 allows the parties to the agreement to establish any special conditions that the project
requires due to its nature.
Architects who are RAIA members commit themselves to the attainment of high standards in
architecture, and through its practice to maintain the general well-being by upholding commonly
agreed values of ethical behavior, equality of opportunity, social justice, aspiration to excellence
and competent professional performance.
Serve and advance the public interest through appropriate involvement in civic
activities, as citizens and professionals
Promote environmental awareness and the appreciation of architecture and urban
design
Encourage informed public debate on architectural and urban design issues
Respect, conserve and enhance the natural the natural and cultural environment
Encourage and maintain responsible ecologically sustainable and energy efficient
design and development
Strive to contribute to the development of architectural knowledge, culture and
education.
In their professional and personal lives members of the RAIA are bound by this Code of Conduct to
uphold the integrity of the profession and to ensure client and community needs are respected and
well served. Violation of any of these standards is ground for disciplinary action, the potential
consequences of which are detailed in Article 83 of the RAIA Articles of Association.
17 | P a g e

TYPES OF COMPETITION
Project Competitions. Project competitions lead directly to the construction of a specific project on
a specific site. The objective in holding such a competition is to select the best design and architect
for the project who will be commissioned to develop the design and complete the project.
Ideas Competitions. Ideas competitions can be held for projects that may or may not be built. They
are useful to explore significant design issues or design opportunities for significant sites.
Open Competitions. Open competitions permit any architect to enter the competition and are
appropriate where:
19 | P a g e
The design objectives can be clearly stated
The project requires the widest exploration of potential solutions
Limited or Selected Competitions. Limited or select competitions restrict entry for specific reasons
such as:
Commissioned Competitions. Commissioned competitions are appropriate where the client wishes
to have the design options for a project investigated by a small number of architects whose work is
of interest. The architects are paid a fee to cover the costs of their work.
STAGING
One-stage Competition. One stage competition select a winner and other prize-winning designs in
one step. For ideas competitions and real projects of moderate size, a one-stage competition is
usually sufficient to explore the design option for a project.
Two-stage Competitions. Two-stage competitions are appropriate for complex projects. They
encourage architects to undertake a broad exploration of design concepts in the second stage. A
two-stage competition:
Attracts more entries by reducing the amount of work required in the first stage
submission
Is an excellent process for selecting a limited number of promising concepts tghat
can be further developed in the second stage; and
Provides the opportunity for comments by the client and the jury to be incorporated
in second stage development
The client should act in good faith using their best endeavors to ensure that the project is
completed, wherever possible.
The cost, time and effort involved in holding a design competition depend on the complexity of the
project. A limited competition e.g. for a small project may be run over a few months at modest cost,
while an open two-stage competition attracting hundreds of entries for a complex major project, will
be a more expensive and longer process.
The winner should be given the first prize money and if the project proceeds, this becomes part of
the fee.
20 | P a g e
The amount of prize money offered should be sufficient to attract competitors and should
acknowledge the effort and expense competitors must apply to make the competition a success.
The current schedule of prizes for architectural competitions recommended by the RAIA is
appended to this document.
The role of the competitor is to meet their professional responsibilities by acknowledging the
competition rules in any design they prepare, in particular by respecting the budget and program
requirements for the competition and the client’s statement of design intent.
Competitors must respect confidentiality requirements and restrictions regarding media statements
or comments contained in the competition rules.
Competitors must not attempt to contact the client, or any member of the jury. All entries must be
directed to the nominated Competition Advisor.
A competent Advisor can be critical in the success of a design competition. As a consultant to the
client, the Advisor is the person most directly responsible for planning, organizing and running a
design competition.
The advisor is an impartial intermediary between the client, the jury, a steering committee or
reference group, and where appropriate, the RAIA. To ensure impartiality, the Advisor should be
an independent architect capable of managing a competition objectively, with the welfare of all
participants in mind. The advisor must have no pecuniary or vested interest in the project.
The advisor should be an independent architect experienced in professional practice who has:
RENUMERATION
Generally, the advisor will be paid for advice and service. The amount will vary according to the
value of the project and the amount of work required. The Advisor may receive a fixed fee, a
retainer or an hourly fee, which must be negotiated between the client and the Advisor. An
agreement concerning the fee and the reimbursement of expenses must be reached prior to
commencement of the competition process.
In accepting the position of Advisor, the architect agrees to conduct a design competition under
conditions that are fair to both sponsor and competitors. The position of advisor should only be
accepted with the understanding that it requires a significant professional commitment.
TASKS
21 | P a g e
The Advisor and the client should establish a detailed program for the competition, with the
responsibilities of the client and the Advisor clearly described. During the course of a design
competition the advisor will normally be responsible for:
A senior client employee with the appropriate delegation will be identified as the Advisor’s principal
point of contact.
The success of a design competition depends largely on the quality of the project brief. The project
brief for the competition should be clear, and as complete as possible.
Testing the project brief is one of the Advisor’s most important tasks.
It is important to obtain the endorsement of the RAIA. The Advisor should liase with the RAIA to
obtain endorsement of the competition so that it can be promoted widely amongst the maximize
interest and to engender confidence in the integrity of the competition.
22 | P a g e
Endorsement
The RAIA supports sponsors wishing to run a fair and equitable architectural competition and who
seek RAIA endorsement. Applications for RAIA endorsement should be directed in writing to the
Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer is authorized to give RAIA endorsement to
architectural competitions, following consultation with the RAIA president.
23 | P a g e
Name and contact details of the competitors
Qualifications and professional affiliations of the competitors
Any other relevant registration details
Signature of the competitors, acknowledging the need to comply with the
competition conditions
The advisor should prepare a list of all registrants. In some competitions, the client may wish to
announce how many architects are competing and how many states they represent. The list can
also indicate the size of the space that will be needed for displaying all the entries to the jury and
for exhibition to the general public (if applicable).
Registration Fee
A registration fee may be charged for entering an architectural competition and if so the fee should
be clearly stated in the conditions. The purpose of such a fee is to help meet the costs of
competition information/documentation and to restrict entry to serious competitors only.
The competition rules should allow competitors to ask questions. The deadline for questions
should be no later than one-third of the way through the design phase. As soon after this date as
possible, the Advisor should supply answers to all questions to all competitors.
The objective of the question and answer exercise is to clarify competition conditions, while
providing all competitors with information that is as accurate as possible. Care should be taken that
the advisor’s answers to question do not suggest a particular design solution and that the answers
are given with the full support of the client.
Display of Entries
The client must provide appropriate display space for judging that is comfortable, well lit, secure,
and large enough to accommodate the expected number of submissions. The display of drawings
and models must allow all entries to be fairly and properly seen.
The client and the Advisor should prepare a checklist to confirm that all entries comply with the
competition rules. For complex projects the client may engage specialist consultants to confirm that
the entries comply with any budgetary or technical requirements.
If a mandatory requirement is not satisfied, the design should be marked accordingly, noting the
shortcoming.
If an entry fails to meet a mandatory requirement should be disqualified before the jurors view the
entries.
Occasionally, a competitor will exceed the submission requirements by submitting a model, extra
drawings or other information. Unless the competition rules allow the submission of additional
materials, these should not be considered by the jury.
Before contacting possible jurors, the client and the Advisor should establish the timetable for the
competition. Time, resources and accommodation must be arranged so the jury can:
24 | P a g e
See all the entries in a fair and equitable way
Have an appropriate space in which to deliberate
Prepare the report explaining its choices
Inviting Jurors
The client and the advisor must decide on the preferred membership of the jury. It is the client’s
task to:
Before the jurors view the entries, the Advisor may report to the Jury Chair explaining why any
entries have been disqualified.
The client must notify the winner and runners-up as soon as practicable after the presentation of
the jury report.
The prize-winning architects should be told to regard the notification as confidential until a public
announcement is made.
Exhibitions
The competition conditions may provide for the public exhibition of the competitors’ drawings and
models. The client should arrange the exhibition or commission the Advisor to do so. The scope of
the exhibition will depend on the client’s intentions, the amount of public interest and the amount of
space available. Other forms of exhibition may be considered for particular competitions including
publication in the form of a book or on a website.
Shortly after the awards are announced (or after a post-competition exhibition is held) the client
may allow for the design submissions to be collected by competitors. In a two-stage competition,
submissions should not be released until after the final judging, even if no post-competition
exhibition is intended.
25 | P a g e
The submission requirements, including the number, type, size and scale of
drawings (or models) and written information where required
Conditions
Restriction
Any restrictions on eligibility should be advised clearly. The rules should state that associates,
employees or direct family of the client, jurors or the Advisor are not eligible to compete.
A statement of agreement to respect all the conditions of the competition should be attached to the
registration form. The conditions should require the competitor to sign the statement and submit it
as part of registration.
Copyright
Competitors retain copyright to their entries. The client may make certain uses of the work
submitted including photographic or other recording of the submissions for archival and publicity
purposes. Where other uses are known, these uses should be stated in the competition conditions.
Moral Rights
The competition rules must require that the competitors clearly define their requirements for
attribution of their work in the competition submission and that they take responsibility that the
attribution requested is agreed to by all holders of moral rights in the design.
The rules should state that features from unsuccessful submissions will not be incorporated into
the project without the permission of the author of that specific design feature.
Program
26 | P a g e
Lodging Submissions
It is the competitor’s responsibility to wrap and ship design submissions so that they arrive intact
and on time. The client must disclaim any responsibility for loss or damage of design in transit. The
entries must be stored in a secure place. After announcement of the winner the client may keep all
entries for as long as it deems necessary. Competitors should be advised to make copies of their
submissions before dispatch so that they will have a record of their work.
Disqualification
The rules should describe the procedure for disqualification of an entry that fails to meet the
mandatory requirements set out in the competition conditions. It is the advisor’s role to disqualify
submissions that fail to meet the conditions, prior to being seen by the jury. Should there be any
doubt regarding a submission, the advisor may seek the advice of the jury chair.
A competitor may be disqualified if they communicate, regarding the competition, with the client,
jurors or any other consultant involved in the competition.
Jury’s Report
The competition rules should require the jury to write a report explaining its reasons for selecting
the winning design and ranking the other prize-winning designs, including any honorable mentions.
A copy of the jury report should be provided to each competitor and be published.
The conditions must state that the client will be bound by the jury’s decision.
Awards
The number and amount of all prizes should be included in the announcement of the competition
as follows:
Appointment of Architect
For a project competition, the rules should state the winning architect will be offered a commission
by the client for the completion of the project. The conditions should describe the proposed
contractual relationship. The rules should include a statement outlining the alternative
compensation the client will pay the winning designer should the project not proceed beyond the
competition stage.
Should the jury of the client consider that the winning architect has insufficient experience or would
benefit from assistance, the designer may be required to form an association with another
consultant to develop the design and complete the project. The consultant should only be chosen
with the agreement of the client and the winning architect.
27 | P a g e
Checking the Brief
The advisor, in checking the client’s brief should balance the stated requirements with the
competitor’s freedom of design interpretation.
The brief should include a concise, relevant history of the project along with an outline of the
client’s interests and intentions.
Design Intent
The brief should inspire the imagination of potential competitors with a clear expression of the
client’s design objectives.
Criteria
The brief should include the criteria that the jury will use in evaluating the entries.
Site Visit
The brief may require or recommend that all competitors visit the site. The client should arrange
the inspection. If a site visit is considered mandatory, the client should determine that each
competitor and the jury have made a proper visit to the site.
Site Information
Competitors must be provided with a detailed site plan with levels at an appropriate scale and
showing all adjacent buildings. This should be supplied in hard copy and digitally.
Space Requirements
A brief for a building project must include the area requirements, and:
BUDGET
Cost will be the one of the principal determinants of a project, both initial capital costs and
subsequent operational and maintenance costs. In this respect, competition projects are no
different from any other building project.
The client will have a specific budget available for the project. The client’s financial target should
be clearly stated in the competition rules and communicated to the jury.
Budget Target
28 | P a g e
Budget Estimate
Competitors may be asked to provide an estimate of the total cost of their designs as part of the
design submission.
The client may engage a cost consultant to check competition entries for compliance with any
budget limitations.
The conditions must describe precisely what design information the competitor must submit. The
advisor and the client should ensure that the design submission is sufficient to explain the design
without overelaborate or unnecessary drawings. The conditions should encourage the competitor
to concentrate on finding the best design solution rather than on its graphic presentation. In
general, the submission requirements should:
Drawings
The number, size, scale and type of drawings must be specified and kept to a reasonable minimum.
In general, scales should be set as possible as a guide to competitors of the level of detail that is
expected, while remaining consistent with the objectives and design intent of the competition.
Instructions regarding the number, mounting, orientation, size and relationship of panels and other
submission items must be precisely described.
Models
Models should only be required as design submissions where there is no reasonable alternative.
Anonymity
29 | P a g e
THE COMPETITION JURY
The selection of an appropriately qualified jury ensures expert judgement in the competition
judging process.
If the client decides that a project will benefit from exploration of the design options by many
professionals through the competition process, then experts in the appropriate field should make
the judgement of the best solution. Design professionals are generally willing to enter competitions
where they are confident of the ability and expertise of jury.
Obligations
It is a jury’s obligation to abide by the competition conditions when making its judgement. It is
therefore essential that before agreeing to serve prospective jurors carefully examine the
competition conditions.
Jury Selection
The client, in consultation with an advisor will appoint the jury. The objective is to assemble a small
group of highly qualified, relevant designers capable of exercising sound judgement.
Jury Composition
Generally the jury should have from three to five members. Three jurors ensure different points of
view are examined while five allows specialists or other relevant jurors to be included in decision
making. Competition juries may be composed of the following:
The majority of the members should be design professionals with substantial knowledge and skill.
Where the skills of disciplines such as sculpture, architecture, planning, landscape or engineering
are essential, persons from the relevant disciplines should be on the jury.
For some types of project, non-professionals or specialists may be appropriate members of the jury.
Competitors with specialized purposes such as used of certain materials or the incorporation of
particular features (such as energy conservation), should have specialized juries. Similarly,
different types of projects such as libraries, exhibition facilities and museums, require persons on
the jury familiar with the particular requirements of such projects. Librarians, curators, and
exhibition designers may all make excellent jurors. Their participation helps to ensure that specific
needs or issues will be considered.
30 | P a g e
A jury’s composition will vary in accordance with the subject of a competition. The major advantage
of including a persons with professional or academic qualifications, is greater breadth of knowledge
that is available from a strictly specialist jury. Such a jury will make a better-informed decision.
The Jurors
The appointment of a balanced jury serves as an important assurance to competitors that the
competition has been well organized.
The client may either appoint a jury chair or leave the selection to the jurors themselves. In either
case, the primary function of the chair is to ensure that the jury’s deliberations proceed in a fair and
orderly way. After a winner is selected, the chair supervises the writing of the jury report.
It may be necessary in some competitions for the client to appoint one or more technical advisors
to assist the jury with specific aspects of the brief, and to provide advice on the competition entries
during the judging process.
Pre-Evaluation Procedures
The selection of award winners is made by a progressive elimination of entries. Each jury will
determine its own voting procedures. More important than how votes are tallied however, is the
exchange of views that takes place during a jury’s deliberations, for decisions grow out of
discussion.
After the field is reduced to a short list of potential prize winners, a detailed examination of the
remaining designs should be made, the strengths and weaknesses compared and the workability
and affordability of the intended design confirmed. When all issues have been thoroughly
discussed, the jury should select the first prize winner and rank the remaining designs.
In the unlikely event of a jury deciding that none of the submissions meet the expectations of the
client, it may recommend that no first prize be awarded.
In two-stage competitions, a jury will convene on two or more occasions to evaluate submissions.
At the end of the first stage, the jury’s task is to choose those schemes that deserve further
development.
After making its final selection, the jury must write a report explaining its decision. The report of a
jury has three basic functions:
1. Written evidence to competitions, the client and the public that the evaluation and
selection procedures were executed with fairness and care, thus conferring
legitimacy on the prize winning designs
31 | P a g e
2. An educational document that describes the criteria for evaluating the design, thus
stimulating the use of competitors and discussion among design professionals,
users and the public
3. A historic document that lists the winners and explains why specific designs were
chosen
The jury report is presented directly to the client. With the announcement of the competition results,
the report becomes a public document.
A jury report should be accurate, comprehensive and succinct. Each juror should have ample
opportunity to offer comments and suggestions, but the report as a whole should speak with one
voice. The report should:
1. For competitions in which contestants are required to produce a design, the total prize money
will be equal to the schematic design fee that would be due to an architect working under a direct
commission.
2. The RAIA current Fee Guide for conventional projects is the reference for determining the
appropriate total prize money.
3. There shall be three prizes awarded. The prize money is to be allocated as follows: 1st--60%,
2nd prize--30% and 3rd prize—10%
4. For competitions in which the project is to be constructed the winner shall be commissioned as
the project architect and the first prize money shall be credited against the fees due for the
commission.
The following table provides worked examples using the above method of calculations for prizes,
excluding GST, on a range of projects of varying value:

SCHEDULE 6. Fee Guide and Fee-Related Practice Notes
1. Introduction
The following information provides guidance on the application of percentage-based and time-
based fees. Whatever fee bases are adopted by practices, each practice is responsible for
identifying its own optimum fee levels, taking into account its expertise and experience, its financial
objectives, and the characteristics of each project at hand. On the basis of such knowledge, each
practice is in a position to successfully establish appropriate fees with clients. The interests of the
clients and architects are best served by architects charging fees that will enable them to maintain
sound long term business performance and competency of work.
2. Percentage Fees
The graphs have been prepared in relation to various building types, classified in accordance with
their degree of complexity, and the extent and nature of services required to be provided in relation
to them.
They have been prepared where the core services denoted in the current RAIA/ACA Client and
Architect Agreement (long form) are to be provided.
The graphs are based on information from the architectural services cost survey, conducted twice
a year by the RAIA.
In applying the graphs, account needs to be taken of any services additional to the core services to
be provided by the practice, and also such project factors as tendering climate, building
procurement procedures, the characteristics of the site, and other regional characteristics.
The graphs are applicable to new projects only. For alterations and additions a higher fee will
generally be appropriate. The graphs do not include provision for payment by the practice to other
consultants or for reimbursable expenses.
33 | P a g e
Architects should confirm in the scope of services who is responsible for payment of the fees of
secondary consultants and subconsultants, and adjust the fee upwards, if the architect is
responsible for paying such consultants.
Classification 1--Conventional
Classification 2—Complex
34 | P a g e

Museum Restaurant
Classification 3—Simple
Cool store*
Hangar
Shed or shelter
Storage (general)
Warehouse
Note: indicates building type which might be classifiable in more than one category depending upon
the degree of complexity.
There will be variations between practices as to the extent of services to be provided within each of
the services to be provided within each of the services stages and, therefore, the proportion of the fee
reasonably chargeable for each of those stages. Each practice must identify its own most suitable fee
apportionment for each service stage or each part thereof, and include this within the client and
architect agreement.
The percentage graphs relate to the continuous provision of all of the core services. Provision of
services less than the core services in the one project may incur additional work for the architect and
warrant a fee surcharge. In many instances, a surcharge of 10%-15% of fee for a particular activity,
would not be unreasonable.
Where the architect is required to provide protracted services, a fee surcharge of would be warranted
(refer clause E5 of the Client and Architect Agreement [long form]).
35 | P a g e
2.6 Deferred Services
If the architect is required to defer services for 30 days or more, a fee surcharge would be warranted
(refer clause E6 of the Client and Architect Agreement [long form]).
The architect may agree with the client to charge a lump sum fee for those services defined in the
scope of services. The fee charged could be derived from a percentage calculation, time change
calculation, or some other method.
Should either the scope of services, or the scope of the project defined within the written brief change,
then the lump sum fee should be re-negotiated.
4. Time Charges
The charge for principal’s and staff time should be calculated by each practice (for guidance refer to
AN02.02.300)
For services in connection with litigation, a time charge fee is typically appropriate. Consideration
should be given to charging a minimum of three hours. Such services normally warrant a higher fee
than that applicable for other architectural services, For example, an hourly rate of 30% higher than
the principal’s usual rate might be warranted.
The foregoing information is based on the architect retaining copyright in the architect’s work and
retaining ownership of all documentation. Should copyright or ownership of the documents be
assigned to the client, this should be taken into account n assessing the fee, having regard to the
likely extent of reuse.
The graphs in this guide note are based on the cost of the work, excluding GST. Advice provided by
the Australian Taxation Office and the ACCC is clear that the fees must be calculated on the actual
cost of the building work, i.e. the cost excluding GST legislation requires that your client must be
advised of the total cost of the services. Therefore, once the fees have been calculated, GST at 10%
must be added to give the total fee. It is illegal to offer a fee which excludes GST.

Small Projects Fee Guide
1. Purpose
The purpose of the note is to provide practitioners with an indication of an appropriate level of fees for
small projects, up to $1 Million gross construction cost. The guidance given in this note is based on
continuing research undertaken by the RAIA into the cost of providing architectural services and
includes an appropriate allowance for profit.
2. Introduction
The following information provides guidance on the application of percentage-based and time-based
fees. Whatever fee bases are adopted by practices, each practice is responsible for identifying its own
optimum fee levels, taking into account its expertise and experience, its financial objectives, and the
characteristics of each project. On the basis of such knowledge, each practice is in a position to
successfully establish appropriate fees with clients. The interests of the clients and architects are best
served by architects charging fees that will enable them to maintain sound long term business

Architects should confirm in the scope of services who is responsible for payment of the fees of
secondary consultants and subconsultants, and adjust the fee upwards, if the architect is responsible
for paying such consultants.
As with other fee guides issued by the RAIA, the note provides an indication of the level of fees for
projects, where the building classification is one of three types: complex, conventional or simple.
It should be noted that projects up to $1 million gross construction cost could still be considered
complex in nature due to the scope of work and services, particular constraints of the site (heritage
and environmental) and the nature of the project.
For purposes of the percentage profile graphs , buildings are classified as those listed on below.

the degree of complexity.
The graphs indicate a fee for continuous service consisting of schematic design, design development,
documentation, tendering and negotiating and contract administration.
They allow for adequate expenditure on professional development, marketing, salaries at commercial
rates, and investment in new technologies.
There will be variations between practices as to the extent of services to be provided within each of

Fees for Partial Services
1. Purpose
This note is intended to provide guidance for setting fees for other than full architectural service. It
may be of assistance when apportioning fees for partial services provided under joint venture
arrangements or where other professionals, such as project managers provide some of the services
traditionally performed by the architect.
2. Partial Services
Partial services are commonly associated with projects procured through non-traditional methods,
where other parties carry responsibility for certain aspects of the design, documentation or contract
administration processes.
A project manager assumes a part of the role normally undertaken by the architect.
Non-traditional procurement such as design and construct is used.
The project is located in a remote area.
Full contract administration and certification is undertaken by others.
3. Establishing Fees
3.2 Where possible, separate fees should be negotiated for additional services, such as those set out
below. These will usually be established on an hourly basis:
Master planning
Facility planning
43 | P a g e
3.3 If using specialist consultants, their fees should be additional and identified separately from the
architects’ normal services and fees. These include services and fees. These include services such
as:
The graphs in the current RAIA Fee Guide No. 8 have been prepared where the core services set out
in the RAIA/ACA Client and Architect Agreement are to be provided.
The following table is designed to be of assistance when negotiating fees for partial services and
should be read in conjunction with the current RAIA fee guide.
This table may be useful when negotiating with clients with clients, project managers and others to set
the architect’s fees, where services are only partially provided.
Non-traditional procurement methods often rely on trade package documentation, which can have the
effect of increasing the cost of documentation by as much as 15%. Also, project managers or design
managers involved in these projects too often increase the architects’ work load by requiring
excessive reworking of documents to achieve savings or the generation of multiple design options as
part of the decision making process.
Construction phase and contract administration services are often partially undertaken by other
building professionals and commonly result in a fee portion of 15% to 20%, in lieu of 35%, as noted in
the RAIA fee guide.
It should be noted that, where not providing full contract administration services particularly in design
and construct projects, the cost of the base construction must be agreed from the outset and an
appropriate allowance, usually 17-20% for preliminaries plant and profit, allowed for.
Where the project is located overseas, the value of the works should be assessed in the place where
the architectural services are provided, not based on market rates related to the location of the project.
44 | P a g e
5. Fees for Partial Services
The following table gives guidance on the extent to which percentage fees could be varied to allow
appropriately for the provision of partial services. The detailed break-up of the fees should always be
agreed with the client at the outset.
Column 1 is based on full continuity in the architect’s services through all the stages shown.
Column 2 serves as a guide when full continuity in the architect’s services does not apply and the
service is considered to be a partial service. The increase in this column over Column 1, recognizes
that additional work is required to ensure that the services that are provided have sufficient added
detail to overcome the absence of continuity of the services, between work stages or within a stage.
