Study Notes
Architect Registration and Collaboration
- Foreign architects must be registered in their home country and obtain a Temporary Special Permit (TSP) from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
- A work permit from the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) is also required, and the foreign architect must collaborate with a local Registered and Licensed Architect (RLA).
- The local RLA will assume professional responsibilities and civil liabilities in design competitions.
Professional Adviser and Jury Composition
- Professional advisers are Philippine-registered RLAs who are members in good standing of the Integrated and Accredited Professional Organization of Architects (IAPOA).
- Jury for design competitions must have at least five members known for integrity and impartiality, including one architect and a representative from the competition sponsor or client.
Standards of Professional Practice (SPP)
- Established to adapt architects' services to evolving client demands, new technological advancements, and regulatory changes.
- Early involvement of architects is beneficial for clients to ensure objective project analysis and effective resource management.
Applicability of Standards
- SPP Standards apply to both individual practice and group practices as DTI-registered sole proprietorships or SEC-registered partnerships/corporations.
- Foreign architects must comply with local regulations and work with local counterparts for projects on Philippine soil.
Architect’s Scope of Services
- Regular design services begin with understanding the client’s needs, translating them into architectural designs, and supervising project implementation until completion.
- In the Project Definition Phase, architects consult owners, gather project data, define requirements, and prepare cost estimates.
Compensation Methods for Architects
- Architect compensation may be calculated as a percentage of the Project Construction Cost (PCC) or based on direct personnel expenses.
- Non-creative work compensation is determined by technical hours spent, emphasizing the differentiation between creative and non-creative services.
Requirements for Project Implementation
- Owners must pay for all architectural and allied services, including specialty consulting, legal, and auditing services needed for the project.
- Prompt payment for all expenses related to the project is mandated, including taxes imposed on services rendered by the architect.
Additional Services and Conditions
- Additional compensation is necessary for extra services rendered by architects outside the initial agreement.
- Architects can recommend specialists for other necessary services, which require the owner's approval for engagement.
