    Study Notes

    Architect's Compensation Methods

    • The architect, as the lead professional, is entitled to a certain amount of compensation due to their role in coordinating the works of other allied professionals necessary to complete the project.

    Unit Cost Method

    • A variation of the Percentage of Project Construction Cost (PCC) method.
    • Requires accurate and timely data.
    • Computation is based on the project cost per square meter of the project.
    • Example: A high-rise office building project with a gross floor area of 10,000 sqm and a non-GFA of 2,000 sqm, with an average project construction cost of P30,000.00/sqm.

    Value-Based Pricing

    • Compensation is based on the outcome or revenue or profitability result of the services.

    Time-Based Fee

    • Multiple of Direct Personal Expenses (MDPE) method.
    • Applicable to non-creative works only.
    • The multiplier usually ranges from 1.5-2.5 depending on the office set-up, overhead, experiences of the Architect, and the complexity of the services.
    • The total is then added with the cost of the total reimbursables.

    Professional Fee + Expenses

    • This method is common when there is a continuing relationship on a series of projects.
    • The architect should require an acceptance fee equivalent to five percent (5%) of the agreed upon Professional Fee upon signing of the service agreement.

    Regular Design Services

    • Detailed Architectural and Engineering Design Services (DAEDS): a single contract between the client and the architect.
    • Detailed Architectural and Engineering Design Services (DADS): individual and separate contracts with the client.
    • Regardless of DADS or DAEDS, all allied professionals assume their own civil liabilities separately.
    • In a DAEDS agreement, the architect does not assume the responsibilities and liabilities of the other allied professionals.

    Methods of Compensation

    • Percentage of PCC.
    • Unit Cost Method based on PCC.
    • Professional Fee + expenses.
    • Lump-Sum or Fixed Fee.
    • Per diem, Honorarium + Reimbursable Expenses.
    • MDPE.
    • Mixed.

    General Provisions

    • Arbitration: in case of disputes between the architect and the client, the dispute shall be dealt with in accordance with RA 9285 (Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 2004).
    • Penalty clause and sanction: any individual, partner, firm/corporation/consortium who engages in architectural services but are not qualified in accordance with the provision by law shall be subjected to sanction.
