LEE | THE ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSION: PAST & PRESENT CONCERNS
GROUP 1
The Architectural Profession; Past & present concerns
The architecture in the past was concerned with producing individual works of art on
individual sites.
The method of design solution was intuitive and relied mostly on experience,
judgement, and talent of the individual designer.
Technologys Two Sharp Edges
Technology is a double-edged sword. While it allows for improved profit potential
through replicating tasks and providing quicker detailing, it also is being led by techsavvy emerging architects who have not seen or experienced many of the
gotchas that only time and experience will teach. Without thorough coordination
prior to beginning construction, the level of quality and completeness becomes an
issue.
For the vast majority of players in the building industry, the future remains only a
vision. However, an increasing number are finding ways to implement changes in
their business processes and relationships in order to realize the benefits of new
technologies. As a result, the conversation is increasingly shifting from simply what
should be done to how and when it should be done.
With any new technology comes new concerns
One challenge we see is in regards to liability: architects have always been tasked
with producing design intent drawings, and with traditional paper there has
always been some necessity for interpretation on the part of contractors. Now that
BIM allows us to pass along these incredibly detailed files to a contractor wholesale.
With BIM quickly becoming industry standard, As we move toward providing a
Building Information Model to the contractor, that contractor has to be skilled
enough to use it. As the model moves from design to construction, additional
models get produced and additional information gets added.
The key for greater success is broad acceptance and positive motivation by all team
members (architect, consultant and contractor) to carefully plan for and make use
of this technology.
Architects Worn Down by Lower Fees
Architects have seen owners squeeze design fees down to nearly unsustainable
levels. As a result, the required time to fully explore detail complexities has
disappeared.
Construction documents as a whole are nowhere as complete as they were in past
decades. This is the direct result of the pinch of lower fees.
Architects are worn out, trying to remain ahead of the fee game, and the profession
is backpedaling as design professionals try to balance ever-growing client needs
with ever-diminishing budgets.
It is fair to say that the traditional design-bid-build method turns the architecture
role into a commodity rather than a service.

Architects
The Spectrum of the Architects Services
Law:
The spectrum of the Architects services extends over the entire range of
activities that proceed from the time the idea is conceived, perfected, transformed
into sets of space/ design requirements, translated into structure through design,
built, used and become a permanent feature of the man-made environment.
The Architects services consist of the necessary conferences, deliberations,
BAUTISTA, JEREMY LOUIS L.
Page 1
discussions, evaluations, investigations, consultations, advice on matters affecting

the scientific, aesthetic and orderly coordination of all the processes of safeguarding
life, health, and property which enter into the production of different levels and
sophistication of man-made structures and environment.
The Architect, in the process of translating abstract ideas into meaningful
concrete terms, produces documents in the form of a data base report, an
architectural program, a feasibility study, a market study, an appraisal report, an
impact analysis report, a space-organizational setup report, a site planning analysis
and evaluation report, an operational programming report, building programming
and scheduling report.
A complete and detailed documentation of construction or erection drawings
is prepared consisting of the architectural plans, the structural plans, the electrical
plans, the plumbing/sanitary plans, the mechanical/air-conditioning plans, the civil
work plans, the technical specifications and the other bid documents.
Aside from these, the Architect can prepare the post construction
management documents, the operating manual, the maintenance manual and other
forms of written and
graphical documentations necessary for the effective and efficient functioning of the
man-made structures and environment.
An appreciation of this scope of services of the Architect will bring into focus
the crucial role that the Architect assumes in the realization of abstract ideas into
tangible and meaningful
terms.
Between abstract ideas and the physical world, stands the Architect
The entire range of the Architects services are divided into SEVEN (7) major
services as
follows :
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
Pre-Design Services

1.2 Each of these SEVEN (7) major services can be contracted separately to the
Architect depending upon the desire and needs of the Client.
1.3 The terms and conditions for the delivery of the SEVEN (7) major services are
stipulated in several UAP Documents as shown in the table below.

Pre-Design Services
While the basic services provided by the Architect have remained relatively
unchanged over the years, additional services have become increasingly accepted
Page 2
as a part of general practice.

There is great advantage to the client if the Architect is involved in the early
stage of conceiving the project. With the Architects knowledge on site evaluation,
construction techniques, materials and new technologies that bear on the cost of a
project, the basic design parameters can be established.
Regular Design Services
The Architect, in regular practice, normally acts as his clients or the Owners
adviser. He translates the Owners needs and requirements to spaces and forms in
the best manner of professional service he can render.
It ranges through his study and analysis of the various aspects of the project,
goes through the preparation of the necessary instruments of service and through
the multitude of construction problems and does not terminate until the project is
completed. The Architect renders services whose sequence come in four phases as
follows:
a. Schematic Design Phase
b. Design Development Phase
c. Contract Documents Phase and
d. Construction Phase.
Specialized Allied Services
Time and Technology have moved to a level where other allied professions
are needed to complete, complement or supplement the necessary services for a
building project.
Design services needed within and outside the building which require
specializations fall under Specialized Allied Services namely:
a. Interior Design
b. Acoustic, Communication and Electronic Engineering
c. Landscape Design
d. Physical Planning
e. Comprehensive Planning
Construction Services
204-a Full Time Supervision
As projects become more complex, there is a need for a construction supervision
group who will do the full-time inspection at the jobsite.
The fundamental functions and primary responsibilities of the construction
supervision group are:
3.1 Quality Control of Work
3.2 Evaluation and Construction Work
3.3 Keeping of Records, Reports and Contract Documents
204-b Construction Management
Due to the growing complexity of construction projects, there is a need to have a
more effective cost control and faster project implementation scheme. The
Construction Manager could be a member of the staff of the Owner or he could be
an independent individual or firm hired by the Owner.
The fundamental functions and primary responsibilities of the construction manager
are:
2.1 Coordination and Supervision
2.2 Cost and Time Control
2.3 Quality Control of Work and Keeping of Records
Post Construction Services
The channel of communications from building owners and operators to architects,
builders, manufacturers and building research groups is maintained so that
information on performance and upkeep of buildings, and building component is
readily available.
The involvement of the Architect in post-construction services helps maintain the
necessary channel of communications between the designers and the end users.
Some of the services are the following:
Page 3
a. Building and Equipment Maintenance

b. Building and Ground Administrations
c. Post-Construction Evaluation

b. Building Administration
Design-Build Services
The building industry and the architectural profession have devised several
methods of project delivery with the ultimate goal of handling projects in the
shortest possible time, at the lowest cost and at an acceptable quality and
performance.
One method of project delivery is the Design-Build Service namely:
a. Design-Build by Administration
b. Design-Build on a Guaranteed Maximum Cost
204-b DESIGN-BUILD SERVICE BY ADMINISTRATION
When the Project is constructed under the direct and sole responsibility of the
Architect, he performs the following services:
2.1 Prepares schedule of work, construction program, estimate and bill of materials,
labor, plants, equipment and services.
2.2 Hires construction personnel and designates duties and remunerations thereof;
2.3 Negotiates and enters into contract with piecework contractors and evaluates
work accomplished thereunder;
2.4 Procures materials, plants and equipment, licenses and permits;
2.5 Authorizes payments of accounts;
2.6 Keeps records and books of accounts;
Page 4
2.7 negotiates with government agencies having jurisdiction over the project;
and
2.8 Manages all other businesses of the construction;
204-b DESIGN-BUILD SERVICE ON A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM COST
Client

This method essentially consist of the Client being given a guaranteed maximum
cost for the construction of the project.
The manner of payment is by lump sum amount scheduled to follow the progress of
the Project. The Architect does not advance any amount to buy materials or pay
labor. Instead, a revolving capital is given at the start of the construction.
If there is a savings on the cost of the Project, it is divided equally between the
Client and the Architect.

GROUP 2
THE ARCHITECTS ROLE INSOCIETY; THE PUBLIC INTEREST & SAFETY
ARCHITECTURAL APPRENTICESHIP, TRAINING AND CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Social Responsibility of an Architect
An architect is not just involved in the design of a building. As a licensed
professional they are also responsible for public safety and overseeing of
projects.
An architect is responsible for conveying the progress of civilization through
the creation of spaces that have function for its inhabitants while using
environmentally sound processes and materials.
An architect must take into account the past, present and future of both
building techniques and global cultures in order to convey a structural
message that relates to past and present ideologies while gently leading the
path for the future of human consciousness and cultural identity.
An architect helps to build the evolution of society by physically manifesting
items of culture in the form of spatial constructs where representations of
culture meet the human mind in a multi sensory locality.
An architect has a physical sensory responsibility to the people who
experience the constructed space while also acting as an artist and painting
the picture that we call society.
The social responsibility of architects lies in part in believing that architecture
can create better places, that architecture can affect society, and that
it can even have a role in making a place civilized by making a
community more livable.
As members of society, we can affect the quality of life in our communities
through involvement beyond our practice. As citizens of our society, we can
influence social conditions; we can even be the cause of positive social
change.
The
Social
Responsibility
of
an
Architect
Beyond Practice
We can raise public awareness of critical social and environmental issues.
An architectural education facilitates the development of critical thinking
abilities, which can be applied to solving problems and addressing situations
beyond design.
Our social responsibility is not limited to needs related to the built
environment or environmental issues.
Our critical thinking abilities can also be valuable in designing an organization
or setting strategic goals and implementation plans.
You may choose to contribute where you have a direct and emotional
connection, such as grassroots work volunteering at a shelter to feed the
homeless.
Or you may choose to contribute indirectly by volunteering to serve on a
committee to draft policies that help streamline the funding process for a
homeless shelter.
While these examples engender dissimilar feelings of self-satisfaction and
different short- and long-term outcomes, both are important and valuable.
Architects and architectural firms have an enormous opportunity to use their
expertise to help non-profit organizations; in return, we can receive valuable
Page 6
insights about how to improve our management practice and even our
design.
Volunteering for nonprofit organizations, especially on the board of directors
or in a committee, can give us insights into the challenges our clients face
while managing and operating an organization.
The Architects Handbook of Professional Practice, 15th Edition
Chapter 4: Public Interest Design
Chapter 4 of the Architects Handbook of Professional Practice includes four articles
and eight backgrounder essays that cover public interest design and how this
concept applies to practice of architecture.
4.1 Socially Responsible Design Overview
Rachel Minnery, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP
A socially responsible architect believes that buildings influence peoples lives, that
people influence the design of buildings, and that architects are accountable for the
impact of their work on people and the environment. Public interest design tends to
the common good and advocates for design as a means to help alleviate social
distress.
4.2 The Role of Architects in Disaster Response and Recovery
Rachel Minnery, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP
Architects have an opportunity to fully embrace the unique and valuable
contributions they can make as design leaders in communities at risk of natural
hazards. This article discusses how architects can be effective in disaster response,
recovery, rebuilding and resilience to help shape truly sustainable communities.
4.3 Architects in the Nonprofit Sector
David Gamble, AIA, AICP, LEED AP
Increasingly, architects and young designers are looking for opportunities to
become more engaged. They seek ways to have a direct and positive influence in
the communities where they work and live. Civic engagement, once deemed pass,
is becoming cool again.
4.4 Public Service and Community Involvement
Jess Zimbabwe, AIA, AICP, LEED AP
This article offers an overview of ways that architects have committed themselves
to the public interest. From casual volunteering to full-time community design
advocacy, from providing technical expertise on a planning commission to running
for elected office, thousands of architects across the United States have used their
professional capabilities to improve their communities.

Architectural Apprenticeship
What is Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship is training that is designed to prepare an individual for a
career in the skilled crafts and trades. Apprentices develop technical skills,
experience the sharing of assignments, and see how technical tasks relate
specifically with theoretical knowledge and interpretation. Apprentices earn a
wage while learning. Apprenticeship training usually requires one to five
years to complete, depending upon which occupation is chosen. The
apprenticeship training system is unique in that its basic foundation is a
partnership between industry, education, and government. Industry funded
and industry driven, the apprenticeship training system provides an effective
balance between on-the-job training and theoretical instruction in an effort to
develop workers with marketable skills. Without industry support and
participation, apprenticeship does not exist.
What is an apprentice?
An apprentice is an individual who has been officially registered with the
Division of Apprenticeship Standards in a state approved apprenticeship
program. An apprentice develops marketable job skills in a structured,
coordinated work and school training program. Being of legal working age, he
or she should possess the aptitude, physical condition, and desire to succeed
in the specific craft/trade.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE OF ARCHITECTURE: LOCAL AND GLOBALLY
PRACTICE OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE PHILIPPINES: BACKGROUND
Architecture, as practiced in the Philippines during the Spanish era, was not
by virtue of an academic title. There were no architectural schools in
the country and the only architects with academic degrees were Spaniards.
However, the first Filipino recorded architect was Felix Roxas y Arroyo of
Binondo, Manila. The closest the Filipino could aspire to practice as an
architect was as Maestro de Obras or Master Builder. The first academic
school to train these maestros was the Escuela Practica y Professional de
Artes y Oficio de Manila, founded by the Spanish government in 1880. In
1900 the first private school to offer an academic title for Maestro de
Obras was the Liceo de Manila.
In 1921, the Philippine National Assembly Act No. 2985 passed, the first
enabling law for the practice of the professions of engineering and
architecture, defined the unique and separate identities of the two
professions.
The profession of Architecture in the Philippines was given its first separate
statute on 17 June 1950 with the enactment of Republic Act 545, "An Act to
Regulate the Practice of Architecture in the Philippines.
In December 1971, President Ferdinand E. Marcos officially declared the
second week of December as Architecture Week. President Ferdinand E.
Marcos issued PD 223 in June 1973 creating the Professional Regulation
Commission with the duty of regulating all the professions and accrediting
only one professional organization to represent each profession.
This Republic Act No. 9266 was approved and known as "The Architecture Act
of 2004."

The first professional association of architecture, civil engineers, and surveyors was
born on September 14, 1902 with the creation of the Academia de Arquitectura y
Agrimensura de Filipinas (AAAF).
For the early 1930`s to the late 50`s, associations of architects came and went, but
three of these survived until the early 70`s. These were the League of Philippine
Architects (LPA), the Association of Philippine Government Architects (APGA), and
the Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA).
On 26 March 1975, the UAP was registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and on 12 May 1975, the PRC issued Certificate No. 001 to the UAP as
the duly accredited professional organization of architects in the Philippines.
Page 18
The organization has been participating in the activities of local government units,
in civic and in related professional fields.
All 1300 members of the three organizations automatically became members of the
UAP and during its first year, 700 members officially registered for active
membership.
The Philippine Institute of Architects is an architectural society in the
Philippines and is the oldest architectural society in Asia. It is composed of noble
men and women from the architectural profession of the Philippines. It was founded
by renowned architects in 1933 whose ultimate endeavor is the professional
development of architecture in the Philippines.
The PIA once served as the Philippine Section and founding member of the Union
de Internationale de Architectes (UIA), the International organization for
architects from 1950 until 1991 until its membership was then passed on to the
United Architects of the Philippines.
The objectives of the PIA since its foundation in 1933:
o To organize and unite in fellowship the architects in the Philippines.
o To promote through collaborative efforts the advancement of the
artistic and practical impacts of the profession.
o To help in the advancement of design and construction by elevating
the standards of architectural education, training, and professional
practice.
o To assist in bringing architecture more dynamically and intimately to
the life of the social man.
o To coordinate the profession of architecture with allied arts, science,
trade, industry, and the civic enterprise of the community.
The United Architects of the Philippines is the Integrated and Accredited
Professional Organization of Architects (IAPOA) in the Philippines with more than
24,000 members. UAP is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) as a non-stock, non-profit organization with SEC Registration No.
60782.
Objectives:
- to establish an appropriate organizational structure that will serve best the
interest of its individual members and providing for among others a democratic
process of election;
- to establish and promote the highest standards of ethical conduct and
professional excellence in the practice and service of architecture, through strict
adherence with the laws and codes that protect and govern it;
- to maintain the highest standards of architectural education and practice,
through the conduct of research in architecture and architecture related subjects for
the academic curricula in architecture and the continuing professional development
program;
- to cooperate and coordinate with other local/national and international
organizations in the field of architecture, environmental design and other field of
arts, science and technology to ensure participation of UAP global concerns; and
- to cooperate and coordinate with other allied professions, trade and
industry in developing progressive ideas in architecture and environmental concerns
as well as their practical application for the welfare of the community and country;
International Union of Architects:
The International Union of Architects (Union Internationale des Architectes or UIA)
was founded in 1948 to unite the architects of all countries in a federation of their
national organizations. The UIA now represents some 1,300,000 architects in more
than 100 countries.
The mission of UIA is to represent all architectural organizations and individual
architects of different countries, with parallel non-government organizations of other
disciplines, and with intergovernmental institutions.
Page 19
The UIA is recognized by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations
(Geneva), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (Vienna),
International Labor Organization (Geneva), United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization (Paris), World Health Organization (Geneva), and United
Nations Center for Human Settlements (Nairobi).
Regulation of Professional Practice:
In most countries, the profession of architect is regulated. The majority of countries

in which it is not are European
(Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Macedonia, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the
United Kingdom).
Belgian law regulates admittance to the profession (who may and who may not
practise) but not the profession as such.
In the United Kingdom, the use of the title of architect is protected, but not its
function.
Registration is therefore required to be able to use the title but not to practise
architecture.
Architects Functions:
This refers to the competences involved by becoming licensed as an architect on
entering the profession:
In some countries, architects may perform ONLY the functions corresponding to the
speciality for which they are registered (e.g.
construction, town planning, landscape design, conservation, etc.).
Page 20
Form of Practice:
This refers to the legal entity by means of which architects provide their services.
This may be:
Existence of a mechanism to check the license to practice:

Description of the mechanism used to control whether architects are legally
licensed or authorised to practise (e.g. in some countries,
when the building permit is processed, the local authorities check whether the
architect is licensed or authorised to practise.
In others, the professional associations issue a certificate to go with the project
when applying for the building permit. In still
others, the professional associations stamp the project as proof that it has been
produced by a registered architect)
Page 21
Continuing professional Development:

In some countries, continuing professional development is regarded as an important
part of professional practice, and it is considered essential for architects to keep up
to date with new technologies or new approaches to different aspects of the
profession, by attending courses, seminars, congresses, etc.
Continuing professional development is a condition for exercising the profession in
just 12 countries. In the majority, architects have the option of doing so if they
consider it necessary or appropriate.
Practice of Foreign Nationals:
Most countries DO allow foreign architects to practise independently. There
are as a rule given requisites that foreign architects have to comply with to be able
to practise. These requisites are very often based on the demonstration of
professional qualifications. In countries in which the profession is not regulated,
there are obviously no specific requisites for practice on the part of foreign
architects.
Practice of Foreign Nationals:

Other countries, in principle, DO NOT allow foreign architects to practise
independently. In these cases, collaboration with a local architect is often stipulated.
In approximately one-third of the countries where this requisite exists, the
association between the local and the foreign architect is established by mutual
agreement between the parties, with no further conditions; in the rest, there are
established requirements that must be met for this kind of association.

UAP DOC. 207
1. DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES BY ADMINISTRATION
The scope of Design-Build Services by Administration includes the Architects
Regular Design Services (reference SPP Document 202) namely:
1. Project Definition Phase
2. Schematic Design Phase
3. Design Development Phase
4. Contract Document Phase
5. Construction Phase
When the various phases of design services are completed, the
Construction Phase goes beyond periodic inspection and
assessment to include the following:
Preparation of schedule of work, program and estimates
of materials, labor, transportation, equipment and
services as reference for the construction.
Organization and hiring of construction personnel,
designation of duties and remunerations
Negotiation and entering into contract with piecework
contractors and evaluation of work accomplishments
Procurement of materials, plants and equipment, licenses
and permits
Authorizing and undertaking payments of accounts
Keeping records and books of accounts
Negotiation with Government and private agencies having
jurisdiction over the project, and
Management of all other business transactions related to
the project construction / implementation
2. DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES WITH GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PROJECT
CONSTRUCTION COST
1. This method is essentially the same as Design-Build Services by
Administration except that the Owner/ Client is provided a guaranteed
maximum project construction cost for the construction of the project.
2. The Owner/ Client is given an estimate of the project, and upon
completion, if there is realized savings from the estimated project
construction cost; it is divided equally between the Owner/ Client and
the Architect.
3. The project construction cost is guaranteed by the Architect not to
exceed Ten Percent (10%) of the estimated project construction cost.
Should the actual cost exceed the estimated project construction cost
plus Ten Percent (10%), the Architect shall be liable for the excess
amount but only up to the amount of his administration Fee.
4. Should there be additional expenditures beyond the guaranteed
maximum project construction cost which are due to legitimate
change/variation orders (CVOs), extra work orders (EWOs), substantial
escalation of prices of the costs of materials or labor as evidenced by
data certified by a nationally recognized agency such as the National
Economic Development Authority (NEDA), or to other causes not
attributable to the fault of the Architect, the additional costs shall be
borne by the Owner/ Client.
8 SELECTION OF THE ARCHITECT
UAP DOC. 208-A

THE CRITERIA FOR COMPUTING THE ARCHITECTS COMPENSATION SHOULD
BE BASED ON MUTUAL EVALUATION OF THE AMOUNT OF THE
ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS TALENTS, SKILL, EXPERIENCE, IMAGINATION,
EFFORT AND TIME AVAILABLE FOR, AND REQUIRED BY THE PROJECT.
The method of compensation should:
Be fair to the Architect in that it should permit him to recover his costs
and net him an adequate profit, provided he is reasonably efficient.
Be fair to the Client and the Architect by reflecting the value of the
Architects services.
Be flexible to protect the Architect from cost increases because of
changes or the scope of the commission.
Not create legal problems for the Architect.
Encourage the Client to be cooperative and supportive.
Provide incentive for the Architect to produce the highest design
quality.
Be easy to understand and simple to use.
Provide a basis for the Client to predetermine his costs for architectural
services, and be otherwise acceptable to him.
Encourage the Architect to develop a solution which will result in the
lowest possible construction cost consistent with the Clients
requirements.
Not focus the Clients attention on price, but rather on the quality
and performance of the Architects services.
Protect the Architect against the rising costs of providing services
during the course of a commission.
METHODS OF COMPENSATION:
1. PERCENTAGE OF CONSTRUCTION COST - is a world-wide used
method of compensation for architectural services. The amount of the
percentage is related to the size and the type of the Project.
This method is fair to both the Client and the Architect as the fee
is pegged to the cost of the Project the Client is willing to
undertake.
It is similar to the percentage fee concept being charged by
realtors, developers and lawyers.
It is flexible and easy to apply since if there will be changes,
additions or deductions of the work demanded by the Project or
required by the Client, the Owner-Architect Agreement need not
be supplemented.
2. MULTIPLE OF DIRECT PERSONELL EXPENSES - This cost-based
method of compensation is applicable only to non-creative work such
as accounting, secretarial, research, data gathering, supervision,
preparation of reports and the like.
based on technical hour expended does not account for creative

work because the value of a creative design cannot be
measured by the length of time the designer has spent on his
work.
be applied only on Pre-Design Services, Supervision Work and
other works which the Architect may perform other than the
Regular and Specialized Allied Design Services.
Other items such as cost of transportation, living and housing
allowances of foreign consultants, out-of-town living and housing
allowances of local consultants, and the like, are to be charged
to the Client and reimbursed to the Architect.
9 NATIONAL COMPETITION CODE UAP DOC. 209

above.
OTHER CONDITIONS ON SERVICES
1. Conditions for Minimum Basic Fee
The Minimum Basic Fee referred to in Section 3.0 applies to
construction work done by a Contractor on the basis of a Lump Sum
Contract. Construction works that are let on cost-plus-fee basis, or on
any basis other than the Lump Sum Contract, where the Architect has
to render additional services shall be subject to additional
compensation commensurate with the additional services required.
Such additional compensation shall be in addition to the Minimum
Basic Fee.
2. Other Professional Services
The
Architects
fee
includes
normal
structural,
electrical,
plumbing/sanitary and mechanical engineering services. Other services
that may be needed in order to complete the project such as services
of acoustic and illumination engineers, mural painters, sculptors,
interior decorators and landscape architects are to be recommended
by the Architect for the owners approval and costs for the services are
to be paid for separately by the Owner.
3. Miniature Models
The Architect may make and include miniature models of his design
studies as part of his preliminary work if he so deems it to be
necessary but no extra charge for such miniature models shall be
made by the Architect. However, if the Owner desires to have a
miniature model of the final and approved design for exhibition and
display purposes, the Owner shall pay for the cost of said miniature
model.
4. Per Diem and Travelling Expenses
A per diem of not less than P500.00* plus travelling and living
expenses shall be chargeable to the Owner on any occasion where the
Architect or his duly authorized representative shall be required to
perform services at a locality beyond the radius of 100 kilometers from
his established office.
5. Extra Sets of Contract Documents
The Architect shall furnish the Owner five (5) sets of Drawings,
Specifications and other contract documents. Cost of printing or
reproduction of extra sets of Contract Documents when required by the
Owner or his representative is to be charged to and paid for by the
Owner.
6. Changes Ordered by Owner
If the Architect is caused additional professional services, extra drafting
or other office expenses due to changes ordered by the Owner after
approval of the Design Development Documents, he shall be paid for
such expenses and services involved. The amount of compensation
and the extension of time for the completion of the documents shall be
upon mutual agreement of both parties. *All references to fixed
amount shall refer to the value of the Peso as of November 1979.
Adjustment of the price shall be made at the time of the contract.
7. Work Suspended or Abandoned

If the work of the Architect is abandoned or suspended, in whole or in
part, the Architect is to be paid by the Owner for the services rendered
corresponding to the fees due at the stage of suspension or
abandonment of the work.
The primary service of the Architect is the preparation of plans,
specifications and other building construction documents which are
actually sets of detailed instructions that shall serve as the basis for
the Contractor to build the Project. Once the Architect has prepared all
these documents he has completed the Contract Documents Phase of
his services which is equivalent to EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT (85%) of his
work. The remaining FIFTEEN PERCENT (15%) of his work is broken
down as follows:
TEN PERCENT (10%) for the Architects liability under the Civil Code
-and
FIVE PERCENT (5%) for the construction phase service which includes
preparation of contract document forms and periodic visits during the
construction.
When the OWNER therefore fails to implement the plans and
documents for construction as prepared by the Architect, the Architect
is entitled to receive as compensation the sum corresponding to
EIGHTY FIVE (85%) PERCENT of his fee.
8. Different Periods of Construction
If portions of the buildings are erected at different periods of time, thus
increasing the Architects construction phase period and burden of
services, charges pertaining to services rendered during the
construction phase shall be doubled. A suspension of construction for a
period not exceeding six (6) months shall not be covered by this
provision.
9. Services of Consultants
If the Owner desires to engage special consultants, such consultants
shall be with the consent of the Architect and the cost of their services
shall be paid for separately by the Owner and shall not be deducted
from the fees due the Architect.
10.Separate Services
Should the Owner require the Architect to design or plan movable or
fixed pieces of furniture, cabinets, covered walks, grottos, pools,
landscaping and other items of similar nature, the Owner shall pay the
Architect in addition to the Minimum Basic Fee, a compensation in the
amount of the Construction Cost of the above work.
11.Full-time Supervision
Upon recommendation of the Architect and with the approval of the
Owner, full-time construction inspectors as will be deemed necessary
shall be engaged and paid for by the Owner. The full-time construction
inspectors shall be under the technical control and supervision of the
Architect and shall make periodic reports to the Owner and to the
Architect as to the progress and quality of the work done.
12.Estimates
Any Statements of Probable Construction Cost, or any Semi-Detailed or
Detailed Cost Estimates submitted by the Architect is accurate only up
to a certain degree. This is so because the Architect has no control
over the cost of labor and materials, or the many factors that go into
competitive bidding.
13.Government Taxes on Services
The Architects Fee as stipulated in Section 3 Minimum Basic Fee is
net to the Architect. Any tax that the government may impose on the
Architect as a consequence of the services performed for the Project
(exclusive of income tax) shall be paid by the Owner.
14.Ownership Documents
All designs, drawings, models specifications and copies thereof,
prepared and furnished by the Architect in connection with any project

are instruments of professional service. As instruments of service they
are the property of the Architect whether the work for which they were
made may be executed or not, and are not to be reproduced or used
on other work except with a written agreement with the Architect.

Proforma ARCHITECT - OWNER AGREEMENT

Covering Professional Services
by Philippine Registered and Licensed Architects/ RLAs
(based on the 1979 Standards of Professional Practice/ SPP)*
Very Important Notes (before using this Agreement):
1 This Agreement is for Regular or Basic Detailed Architectural and Engineering
(DA&E) Design Services under the 1979 SPP (UAP) Document 202 (and is
inclusive of Periodic Construction Supervision/ PCS), whereby the Philippine
registered and licensed Architect (RLA, or the Architect) provides the
required Regular or Basic DA&E Design Services i.e. the Architect brings in all
of the Design Engineers as part of his Design Team. In such an arrangement,
the Architect becomes partly liable (under Art. 1723 of the New Civil Code)
for the work done by the said Design Engineers.
2
The Architects Fee is computed based on a percentage (%) of the Statement

of Probable Project Construction Cost (SPPCC) that should be prepared by the
Architect and annexed to this Agreement. Under SPP (UAP) Document 202,
the percentage (%) shall be based on the type of the Project or the scope of
the professional services being contracted by the Architect i.e. full Regular or
Basic DA&E Design Services as compared to partial Regular or Basic Detailed
Architectural (DA) Services without Periodic Construction Supervision (PCS)
Services.
The ultimate determinant of the Architects Fee is the Final Project

Construction Cost (FPCC), computed at the completion of the construction
work.
If the architect only wishes to undertake part of the full regular DA&E Design
Services, the corresponding adjustments in the Fee percentage (%) must be
made i.e. if Detailed Engineering (DE) is excluded but PCS is retained, the
Architects Fee may be 60% of the stated percentage (%) for projects listed
under SPP (UAP) Document 202, and so forth. PCS has a value of 5% of the
Architects Fee while signing and sealing of the Architectural Documents
(with the mandatory assumption of the minimum civil liabilities prescribed
under Art. 1723 of the New Civil Code) carries a weight of 10% of the
Architects Fee (refer to Article 7.08).
This Agreement does NOT cover the following professional services by

Architects as defined/ detailed elsewhere under the 1979 SPP (UAP)
Documents: a) Fulltime Construction Supervision (FCS); b) Project or
Construction Management (PCM); c) Pre-Design Services such as Space
Planning and Research; d) Allied Architectural Design Services for
Architectural Interiors (AI) or Site/ Physical Planning, and the like.
This Agreement is NOT for Design-Build Services and is also NOT a

Construction Agreement. Should the Architect desire to undertake either
work, the Architect must first secure a Contractors License from the
Philippine Constructors Accreditation Board (PCAB) of the Construction
Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP) under the Department of Trade
and Industry (DTI).
In case of dispute over the quality of the architectural services rendered, the
venue for litigation is the Professional Regulation Commission (under its
administrative proceedings).
While civil complaints may be filed directly with the Court, disputes
pertaining to this agreement must be first resolved through various modes of
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as called for by law (reference Art. 14 of
the Agreement).
The Architect maintains ownership and copyright over his work under law
(reference Art. 12 of the Agreement). In submitting plans for building permit
application, the Architect (to protect his intellectual property rights/ IPR)
must only submit the drawings required under Sec. 302.4 of the 2004
Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of P.D. No. 1096,
otherwise known as the 1977 National Building Code of the Philippines
(NBCP). When architectural documents are distributed as part of the bidding
process, the Architect must remind parties that the IPR over the documents
issued are fully protected by law and should be returned to the Architect
together with the submitted bids.
10 This Proforma (but Updated) 1979 Architect-Owner Service Agreement shall

be superseded once the 2010 SPP take effect by the end of year 2010 (15
days after Official Gazette publication).

MANAGING A PROJECT: TEAM SELECTION
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management
When the Owner hires an Architect or a firm to coordinate the whole range of
Comprehensive Architectural Services this constitutes Project Management.
It is therefore that group of a management activities over and above normal
architectural and engineering services carried out during the pre-design, design and
construction phases that contribute to the control of time, cost and quality of
construction of a project. It is a procedure by which an Owner, desiring to embark
on a project of unusual scope and complexity, engages a professional management
service to provide technical consultations during the conceptual and design stages
of a project and also to provide for organizing and directing consultation activities,
including purchasing, supervision, inspection and acceptance.
It is supposed to augment, supplement and be complimentary to the functions of
Architects, Engineers and Contractors in meeting the broad and complex
requirements of usual projects.

THE PROJECT MANAGER
Basic Functions
a. He/she operates as a member of an Owner-Architect-Engineer-Contractor Team.
In the Team Approach, each member of the team will have precedence and exercise
leadership in his own sphere of operations or expertise. In accordance with this
principle, the Architect and the Engineer-Consultants will have prime responsibility
for the design of the project.
b. The Contractor shall be responsible for his men and equipment and the delivery
of the project as per contract. The Owners role is to make decisions on the project
and to assure that funds are available to complete the project within the budget
estimates.
c. The Project Managers role is to plan, program and monitor the various activities,
and act as an adviser on material costs and construction methods. His primary
responsibility, therefore, is the exercise of overall cost control. It relieves the Owner
of many of the anxieties that usually beset him, particularly those concerned with
forecasting costs and completion dates.
DETAILED FUNCTIONS
Pre-Construction Phase
As early as practicable during design development, perhaps, concurrently with the
Architects commission, the Project Manager should enter regular consultation with
Architects and Engineers (AE) and with the Owner on all aspects of planning for the
project. Pre-bid management service might include, but not necessarily encompass
all of or be limited to the following:
A -1 Advise Owner and Architect on practical consequences of their decisions and
design options.
A - 2 Prepare periodic cost evaluations and estimates related to both the overall
budget and to the preliminary allocations of budget to the various systems.
Project manager: Detailed functions
A - 3 Recommend for early purchase (by the Owner) of those specified items of
equipment and materials that require a long lead time for procurement and delivery
and expedite purchases in general.
A - 4 Advise on the pre-packing of bidding documents for the awarding of separate
construction contracts for the various systems and trades. This will include advising
on the sequence of document preparation to facilitate phased construction work
during completion of the design development.
A - 5 Consider the type and scope of work represented by each bid package in
relation to time required for performance, availability of labor and materials,
community relations and participate in the schedule of both design and construction
procedures.
A - 6 As schedule criteria of design and construction emerge, the Project Manager
may, with the cooperation of the Architect-Engineer, work some of the design
operations into an overall network scheduling operation.
A - 7 Check bid packages, drawings and specifications to eliminate overlapping of
jurisdictions among the separate contractors.
A - 8 Review all contract documents to be sure that someone is responsible for
general requirements on the site and for temporary facilities to house the
management and commerce.
A - 9 Conduct pre-bid conferences among Contractors and Manufacturers of
systems and sub-systems to be sure that all bidders understand the components of
the bidding documents and the management techniques that will be applied
including any computerized inter-communication, network scheduling and cash flow
controls.
A - 10 Review stipulations of the Owner with the bidders regarding the project
management personnel, services control authorities, insurance, bonding, liability
and other aspects and requirements of the project.
LIMITATION OF AUTHORITY
The limitation of authority of the Project Manager is similar to that of the
Construction Manager.
The Project Manager shall not involve himself directly with the work of the
Contractor such that it may be construed that he is relieving the Contractor of his
responsibility as provided for in the Civil Code.
He shall not impose methods, systems or designs that will substantially affect the
construction schedule and impair the design concept of the Architect.
He shall not interfere with the Architects design if such design generates the
necessary environmental and aesthetic quality of the project. The Project Manager
shall provide the necessary management support, by applying his leadership and
showing respect for co-professionals to be more effective participants in the team.
LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
Based on the Civil Code, the Project Manager has no legal responsibility insofar as
design and construction is concerned. It is still the Architect and design Engineers
who are responsible for the design, while the Contractor is solely responsible for his
construction. It is for this reason that the Construction Manager and the Project
Manager are not allowed to interfere in the field of design and construction as this
may be construed as relieving the designers and the Contractors of responsibilities
as provided by law.
MANNER OF PROVIDING SERVICES
Normally, the Architect enters into a contract with the Owner to perform
comprehensive architectural services.
To perform the variety of services indicated in the Comprehensive Architectural
Services, the Architect must make full use of his own capability as well as the
services offered by other professionals. He may expand his staff by hiring the
experts needed or form a professional team consisting of the following:
Architects
Engineers
Market Analysts
Accountants
General Contractors
Real Estate Consultants

Sociologists
Planners

EDGAR LEE | MANAGING A PROJECT: LOOKING FOR ONE, DESIGN TEAM SELECTION
GROUP 11
MANAGING A PROJECT: LOOKING FOR ONE, DESIGN TEAM SELECTION
INTRODUCTION
There are many ways by which a Client can engage the services of an Architect. The
most appropriate method of selecting an Architect will depend on the type and
complexity of the project.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of services will depend on the method by which the Architect is selected.
METHODS OF SELECTION
1.) Direct Selection is used when undertaking a relatively small project. The Client
selects his Architect on the basis of:
Reputation
Personal or business acquaintance or recommendation of a friend
Recommendation of the Architects former Client
Recommendation of another Architect.

2.) Comparative Selection may be conducted by committees representing
institutions, corporations or public agencies. The selection process involves:
A.) Invitation.
The Client issues an invitation which includes the Terms of
Reference (ToR) for the project which is based on the Design
Brief prepared by another Architect. The selection committee
established by the Client may consist of representatives from
other State-regulated professions and/or the construction
industry, as well as persons with related expertise.
B.) Pre-qualification.
Architects and/or PRC-registered Architectural Firms (AFs)

submit information regarding their qualification and expertise.
C.) Interview.
The Architect explains his methodology in translating the
plan/design requirements of the proposed project.
D.) Verification.
The selection committee may visit buildings designed by the Architects and
check references such as former clients and financial institutions.
E.) Evaluation & Ranking.
The selection committee may adopt its own procedure in evaluating the
entries and recommending the most capable firm
F.) Negotiation.
The Architect explains to the Client the Scope of Services and
the Architects Fee as prescribed under the Architects
Guidelines.
3.) Architectural Design Competition (ADC) is used for civic or monumental
projects. The competition may either be an idea competition, design or design
build competition. Various Architects or architectural firms (AFs) submit plan/design
solutions to a particular design problem and are judged on the basis of comparative
excellence.
A.) Advantages
Opportunities will be open only to all PRC-registered and

licensed Architects (RLAs) or PRC-registered Architectural
Firms (AFs).
The Client/ Committee will have a wider range of options.
Process may be expensive and time consuming
The time and effort required may discourage qualified

firms from participating
Some potentially unscrupulous prospective Clients will

seek free services under the guise of design competition.
Architects must always be constantly aware that
ownership and copyright issues under Secs. 20 (4) and 33
of R.A. No. 9266 must be fully addressed under all
architectural competition rules.
B.) Disadvantages
C.) Procedure. Competitions should be conducted:
With the assistance of the integrated and accredited

professional organization of architects (IAPOA) or one of its local
chapters, and
In accordance with the Architects Guidelines.
D.) Participants.
Sponsor or Client a natural or juridical person;
Competitors Filipino/ Philippine-Registered and Licensed

Architects (RLA) and IAPOA members in good standing. A foreign
architect as a competitor must be registered in his/her country
of origin and must secure a Temporary Special Permit (TSP) from
the Commission (PRC), a work permit form the Department of
Labor and Employment (DoLE) and must work in collaboration
with a local/Filipino counterpart RLA who will assume the
requisite professional responsibilities and civil liabilities, in the
case of a design or design-build competition;
Professional Adviser Philippine-Registered and Licensed Architects (RLAs) who are

IAPOA members in good standing;
Jury Composed of at least five (5) members who are known for their integrity,
objectivity, impartiality and honesty.
Architect member in good standing of the IAPOA
Competition Sponsor or Client.
