 THE VARIOUS SCOPE OF SERVICES OF AN ARCHITECT

A . PRE DESIGN SERVICES

Pre-Design Services encompass a wide range of professional services, from preliminary problem assessment
through processes that help the Architect to design a variety of architectural and affiliated solutions.

 CONSULTATION

When a Client requests that the Architect provide oral or written assistance and instruction.

 PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDIES

include the acquisition, analysis, and use of supplementary data collected for the project to
assist the Client in making strategic choices. They provide the Architect's initial appraisal of the
viability of a project, allowing the Client to quickly evaluate available choices

 FEASIBILITY STUDIES

The viability of a planned development will be determined by a detailed examination of the

project based on pre-feasibility studies.

 SITE SELECTION AND ANALYSIS

This includes developing site criteria, assisting the Client with site appraisal, and conducting
analysis to find the best location for a given project or building program.

 SITE UTILIZATION AND LAND-USE STUDIES

The extensive research of the site entails identifying a site's development potentials through
effective land usage.

 ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH

comprises doing primary and secondary research and gathering data to serve as the
foundation for a conclusion

 ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING

This quantitative problem-solving method will result in the discovery and declaration of both
horizontal and vertical needs in proposing a solution.

 SPACE PLANNING

The architect establishes the suitable fit, design, and assemblage for a proposed project based
on the usage, allocation, and interaction of spaces for certain activities.

 SPACE MANAGEMENT STUDIES

An examination of the project's space needs concerning organizational structure and functional
set-up identifies space connections and interactions.
  VALUE MANAGEMENT

This strategy is used in the cost-cutting process to reduce the negative impact of simplified
procedures connected with several cost-cutting schemes. The objective of value management
is to deliver an unaltered program at the lowest possible cost.

 DESIGN BRIEF PREPARATION

Architect specifies the project terms of reference (ToR), which include the idea, objectives, and
other requirements for bidding out architectural services 

 PROMOTIONAL SERVICES

gain financial backing and acceptability from government entities or the public in general In
such circumstances, the Architect can function as the Owner's agent by creating and managing
the various tasks necessary to finish the services.

B . REGULAR DESIGN SERVICES

 PROJECT DEFINITION PHASE

The Owner must define the project's needs at this stage. In response, the Architect notifies the
Client of the project - specific needs and the associated professional expenses. During this
phase, the Architect talks with the Owner to determine the conceptual framework and relevant
project requirements and agrees them with him. gathers important information and data that
leads to the creation of project requirements, including the scope of the Architect's services
transforms the owner's space needs into an architectural program after reviewing and refining
them. provides an initial estimate of construction costs

 SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE

Based on approved schematics and conceptual plans, the Architect creates Conceptual
Design documents that include plans, elevations, sections, and other drawings, as well as
outline specifications to fix and illustrate the overall project's size and character in terms of
materials, structural, electrical, mechanical, sanitary, electronic, and communications systems.
Construction system diagrams and a revised SPPCC for submission to the Owner

 DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE

Based on approved schematics and conceptual plans, the Architect creates Conceptual
Design documents that include plans, elevations, sections, and other drawings, as well as
outline specifications to fix and illustrate the overall project's size and character in terms of
materials, structural, electrical, mechanical, sanitary, electronic, and communications systems.
Construction system diagrams and a revised SPPCC for submission to the Owner

 CONTRACT DOCUMENT PHASE

The Architect 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, based on the approved Design
Development Documents. Technical Specifications are documents that describe the kind and
quality of materials, the finish, the method of construction, and the general conditions under
 which the project will be built. Seven sets of all construction plans and technical specifications
are submitted to the Owner in order to get a building permit. The SPPCC is updated in
response to changes in scope, requirements, or market conditions. supports the Owner in
submitting the necessary documentation to obtain permission from the government bodies with
control over the design

 BIDDING OR NEGOTIATION PHASE

During this phase, the Architect prepares the Bid Documents, which include forms for contract
letting, construction documents, forms for invitation and instruction to bidders, forms for
bidders' proposals, general / specific contract conditions, and so on. The Architect works with
the Owner

 CONSTRUCTION PHASE

During this phase, the Architect does the following: makes judgments on any claims of the
Owner and Contractors concerning the execution and progress of work or the interpretation of
the Contract Documents. generates change orders, collects and provides written assurances
needed of the Contractor and Subcontractors to the Owner. The architect should visits the
project site on a regular basis to acquaint himself with the overall status and quality of work, as
well as to ensure that the work is progressing in line with the Contract Documents. The
Architect shall not be obliged to conduct extensive or continuous 8-hour on-site supervision to
ensure the quality of the work involved, and shall not be held liable for the Contractor's failure
to carry out the Construction work in accordance with the Contract Documents. During such
project site inspections, and based on his observations, he should report to the Client any
faults or shortcomings detected in Contractors' work, and shall condemn work found to be
nonconforming to the Contract Documents.

C . SPECIALIZED ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES

D . FULLTIME SUPERVISION SERVICES

Working as the Construction Supervision Group or as the Architect-of-Record and Consulting Architect for full-
time supervision services (CSG). As the project's Architect-of-Record (Aor), the Aor is in a superior position to
interpret his designs and papers and ensure Contractor adherence. He can delegate full-time supervision duties

excellent shape. create and enforce regulations for proper building and facility use, particularly
in common areas and the emergency exit security services, as well as maintenance and
upkeep services

 POST CONSTRUCTION EVALUATION

the architect must assess the initial design program in relation to the facility's actual use,
determine the effectiveness of the various building systems and the materials systems in use,
assist the appropriate third parties in assessing the functional effectiveness of the design and
construction process undertaken, and study, research, and provide solutions for any
discovered flaws and failures like shrinkage, water seepage, and other issues in the building.

F . DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES
 Design-Build Services by Administration

 Project Definition Phase

 Schematic Design Phase
 Design Development Phase
 Contract Document Phase
  Construction Phase

 Design-Build Services with Guaranteed Maximum Project Construction Cost

With the exception of the Architect giving the Owner/Client a guaranteed maximum project
construction cost for the building of the project, this technique is virtually the same as Design-
Build Services by Administration. The Architect provides the Owner/Client with a project
estimate. If there are savings from the predicted project construction cost after completion, the
savings are split equally between the Client and the Architect. The Architect guarantees that
the project construction cost will not exceed 10% of the anticipated project construction cost. If
the actual cost exceeds the predicted project construction cost plus 10%, Only up to the
amount of his administration Fee will the architect be held responsible for the excess. Should
the guaranteed maximum project construction cost be exceeded for reasons such as valid
change / variation orders (CVOs), extra work orders (EWOs), a significant increase in the cost
of materials or labor as shown by data certified by a nationally recognized organization like the
National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), or for reasons other than the architect's
fault, the additional costs shall be b
