The United Architects of the Philippines developed Standards of Professional Practice (SPP) documents to improve standards of living and safeguard public health, welfare, and security. SPP Document 201 covers pre-design services like programming, zoning analysis, and site analysis to establish the project scope. SPP Document 202 comprises regular design services through four phases from concept to construction. It allows proper time management and ascertainment of project requirements. The SPP allows several compensation methods to provide architects a fair system based on skills, experience, quality of work, and project type.

Reflection Paper on SPP 201, 202 and Methods of Compensation

The United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), along with the Board of
Architecture (BOA), Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and other
government agencies, developed and formulated the Standards of Professional
Practice (SPP) documents to simply strive to improve the standard of living in our
country and to safeguard people's health, welfare, and security. Through strict
respect to the laws and norms that protect and regulate it, the objective is also to
develop and promote the highest standards of ethical behavior and professional
competence in the practice and service of architecture.

The SPP Document 201 consist of the details of the pre-design services of one
professional that encompasses a wide range of architectural services, from
problem identification to activities that allow the architect to envision a variety of
architectural and related solutions. Based on my experience, the pre-design studies
are conducted to assess space requirements, the restrictions and potential of the
proposed location, and the cost & budget. A property project begins with pre-
design. The structure and specifications for the building development are
established at this phase, which the owner and architect establish and assess. This
covers usage criteria for programming, zoning, and site analysis. Before moving
on with complete architectural services, clients frequently request the pre-design
services of an architect to help in the early phases of their project. The need of pre-
design planning cannot be overstated because it will determine the course of the
entire project. Having the Document 201 established the relationship between the
client and architect, and also provides expectations for the project.

The SPP Document 202 comprises the regular design services where the
architect's work begins when the owner specifies his requirements to the architect
and concludes only when the general contractor or builder hands over the
completed project to the owner. An architect's services generally involve concept
design development, construction document preparation, and construction
administration. Architects also offer a wide range of other services, such as
feasibility studies, architectural programming, and project management. The
architect’s services come in four phases — Schematic Design Phase, Design
Development Phase, Contract Document Phase and Construction Phase. This allows
both parties, the client and the construction team, to set goals and monitor the
progress of the project. I believe that having this document allows the architect to
prepare and consult with the owner with proper time management that allows
them to ascertain the requirements needed for the project.

The architect's salary is decided by the architectural firm's revenue based


on a person's skills, experience, originality, and the quality and kind of
professional services provided. On a project, the SPP allows for several methods of
remuneration. Examining each project to determine the most suitable and
effective method which makes a fair system of compensation. I believe having
multiple methods of compensation provides the architect a sense of reasoning of
compensation to which he or she deserves. The employment of an architect shows
his or her ability of flexibility as one architect always adjust and adapt to the
growth and development of his or her median annual wage.
