I shall dedicated myself to the pursuits of creative endeavour towards the goal of enlightened Art and Science, generously sharing with colleagues, friends and strangers alike the benefits of my experience and expertise. PREFACE On October 25, 1965, the Architect’s National Code was approved and adopted by the three (3) architectural organizations existing at that time, namely; the Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA), the League of Philippine Architects (LPA) and the Association of Philippine Government Architects (APGA). On January 15, 1975, the three (3) architectural organizations were integrated intoone association called the “United Architects of the Philippines (UAP). The UAP, in response to the need to review and update the documents in order to be more responsive to the practice of the Profession in the Philippines prepared and divided the Architect’s National Code into two divisions – namely: 1. Code of Ethical Conduct and 2. Standards of Professional Practice On July 21, 1979, the Architect’s National Code was approved by the UAP National Board of Directors and on September 24, 1979, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) through the Board of Architecture (BOA), adopted the Architect’s National Code as part of the Rules and Regulations to which all practicing architects shall conform in the performance of their duties and obligations. After 28 years on August 18, 2007, the UAP National Board of Directors headed by Archt. Medeliano T. Roldan, Jr., FUAP then UAP National Presidentpassed a Board Resolution approving the UAP Proposal No.04 with the intent of creating a Special Committee to handle all matters relating to the compilation, review, evaluation, amendments and revision of the Documents on Standards on Professional Practice and related UAP Documents including Guidelines on Corporate Practice of Architecture. Subsequently on August 21, 2007, Executive Order No. 0708-006 was passed creating and establishing a Special Committee on Standards of Professional Practice to comply with the provisions of Republic Act 9266 (the Architecture Act of 2004) and Batas PambansaBlg. 68 (the Corporate Code of the Philippines) and other related rules, regulations and codes, and to respond to the increasing public and users demand, the evaluation of new standards of regulated professional practice, the advancement of technology and the enactment of new laws. The Ad-Hoc Committees on Standards of Professional Practice during one of their meetings unanimously agreed to consolidate all the Architect’s Compensations and Schedule of Fees into one (1) document, then UAP National President Archt. Ana S. Mangalino-Ling, FUAP, Apec Architect mandated and tasked the committee headed by Archt. Norberto M. Nuke, FUAP, LIKHA, Apec Architect to prepare the document to be presented to the UAP National Board of Directors for approval. The title ARCHITECT’S GUIDELINES on Standards of Professional Practice, METHODS OF COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE OF FEES UAP DOC. 208-A was adopted from the documents on Standards of Professional Practice, the 1979 UAP DOC. 208-b Methods of Compensation and the consolidation on Methods of Compensation and Schedule of Fees on all types of Architectural Services. The new version includes a comprehensive Methods of Compensation and Schedule of Fees as the practice of architecture has become more complex and intricate to meet the challenges in determining the right compensation as the Architect services increases. To effectively respond to the present needs and demands of the profession, the Committee had prepared the ARCHITECT’S GUIDELINES, defining the rules and regulations to be followed in implementing the provisions on METHODS OF COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE OF FEES UAP DOC. 208-A. The UAP National Board of Directors in their last regular meeting held on June 26, 2010 at UAP National Headquarters in Quezon City, approved Board Resolution 09-10 No. 7-16 for adoption the ARCHITECT’S GUIDELINES on Standards of Professional Practice, METHODS OF COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE OF FEES, UAP DOC. 208-A. The Architect’s Guidelines will be the official IAPOA issuance to be observed by all IAPOA members ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Committee on Standards of Professional Practice, METHODS OF COMPENSATION & SCHEDULE OF FEES UAP DOC. 208-A would like to acknowledge the following persons for their contribution in making the ARCHITECT’S GUIDELINES possible: Committee on Professional Practice – 1979 Chairman Felipe M.

However, at this point in time, they are uncertain and confused as to what standards of fees and what manner of payments would apply to the various types of projects they undertake. To complicate the situation, technology has evolved so fast that the classification of types of buildings has becomecomplex, and numerous types of structures have made their appearance in the planning, design and construction scene, which makes the calculation of charges for professional fees more complicated. In general, professional fees are project-based, with basic fees computed as a percentage of construction cost of materials and labor plus incidentals. However, there are various types of projects and various levels of complexity, and so, guidelines for computation of professional fees must be produced for such variations in the projects undertaken by Architects. Thus, the United Architects of the Philippines is publishing this document entitled UAP Doc. 208-A: Architect’s Guidelines on Standards of Professional Practice, Methods of Compensation and Schedule of Fees, on how Architects would charge their Clients for services rendered, in order to provide a convenient consolidated reference for the use of Architects. This document consolidates in onereferencethe methods of compensation of services found and discussed in the other UAP documents.  RULE I TITLE, RATIONALE, OBJECTIVES, POLICY STATEMENT AND DEFINITION OF TERMS SECTION 1: TITLE This Document shall be known as“ARCHITECT’SGUIDELINES ONMETHODS OF COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE OF FEES, UAP DOC.208-A (replacing the 1979 DOC. 208-b)METHODS OF COMPENSATION &THE CONSOLIDATION ON METHODS OF COMPENSATION & SCHEDULE OF FEES ON ALL TYPES OF ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES. SECTION 2: RATIONALE 2.1 The urgent need to set the parameters on Architect’s Guidelines on Methods of Compensation and Schedule of Fees is paramount to the Architect in the practice of his profession. This will standardize the ranges for which the Client will compensate an Architect in direct relation to the value of services that the Architect provides. 2.2 The professional competence of the Architect must be well established and adequate to meet the Client’s needs and requirements.In order to grow and progress in his career the Architect must possess the appropriate knowledge and skills needed to be proactive,he must gained the training, exposure and relevant experience in order to deliver the project at par to the satisfaction of the Client. 2.3The purpose of the Architect’s Guidelines is to complement existing professional regulatorylaws governing the practice State-regulated, specifically architecture as governed by R.A. 9266 (The Architecture Act of 2004) and its derivative regulations, the Code of Ethical Standard, Standards of Professional Practice and other related laws, policies, rules and regulations approved and implemented by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and/or other concerned government entities. Therefore nothing in the Guidelinesmust unduly affect the said laws, policies, rules and regulations, and Architect’s National Code (ANC) specifically Codes of Ethical Conduct and Standards of Professional Practice. SECTION 3: OBJECTIVES 3.1By law, the Architect must first belicensed and registered by the PRC and UAP- IAPOA respectively. As such, the standards andparameters, to which the Architect who offer and/or make his services available, are adhered to in order to develop and nurture the competencies, credibility and integrity of the Architect in the practice of his profession. 3.2 The common practice of the Architect to determine his compensation on a project-based fee structures were often estimated through the percentage of the project cost as indicated on theSchedule on Minimum Basic Fees under the Regular Design Services, UAP Doc. 202. However, with the evolvement of new technology, the complexity andlarge scale development projects and uniqueness of many building projects, the most common practice is lump sum fee based on the project cost, complexity and deliverables, and also had led to the use of several trends in calculating compensation for architectural services in order to meet changing Client expectations and improve the economic performance of the Architect. 3.3Integrity, good performance and deliveryof the project on time to the satisfaction of the Client maintains a long-term Architect-Client relationships that will lead to the success of the Architect in the practice of his profession. SECTION 4: POLICY STATEMENT Architects should perform professional services only when they are qualified by education, training and or experience in the specific technical areas involved and duly registered by the PRC-BoA. Vision A National Code for Architects relevant to the times, setting the standards for the proper maintenance of ethical and professional conduct in the practice of architecture.

No. 9266 – Architecture Act of 2004  RULE II METHODS OF COMPENSATION SECTION 1: CRITERIA The criteria for computing the Architect’s compensation should be based on mutual evaluation of the amount of the Architectural firm’s talents, skill, experience, imagination, effort and time available for, and required by the project. 1.1 The method of compensation should: a. 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. b. Be fair to the Client and the Architect by reflecting the value of the Architect’s services. c. Be flexible to protect the Architect from cost increases because of changes or the scope of the commission. d. Not create legal problems for the Architect. e. Encourage the Client to be cooperative and supportive. f. Provide incentive for the Architect to produce the highest design quality. g. Be easy to understand and simple use. h. Provide a basis for the Client to pre-determine his costs for architectural services, and be otherwise acceptable to him. i. Encourage the Architect to develop a solution which will result in the lowest possible construction cost consistent with the Client’s requirements. j. Not focus the Client’s attention on “price”, but rather on the quality and performance of the Architect’s services. k. Protect the Architect against the rising costs of providing services during the course of a commission. 1.2. The computation of the compensation of fees shall depend on the type of services to be rendered and the conditions under which they are to be performed. Compensation for services that require only one kind of expertise or related types of expertise shall be treated differently from those services that require the use of more than one type of expertise. 1.3 Compensation of an Architect may be computed based on one or a combination of the following methods, with modifications applicable to the types of services and/ or specific cases, if and when needed. SECTION 2: METHODS OF COMPENSATION (a) Per Diem plus reimbursable expenses- This method of Compensation is particularly suited to engagements involving intermittent personal service such as: i. Attend Board Meetings or Conferences ii. Ocular inspection of possible sites iii. Confer with others regarding prospective investments or ventures and the like When such services are furnished, the Architect is compensated for all the time he devotes to the work, including travel time. The per diem basis charge should be based on the complexity of the work involved and the extent of his experience/specialization. In addition to the compensation based on per diem basis, his expenses for travel, subsistence, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred while away from his home/office shall be reimbursed by the Client. (b) Retainerplus reimbursable expenses - This method of Compensation is used when the services of an Architect is expected to be required at intervals over a period of time. It is a means of ensuring in advance that his services will be available to the Client when required. Under this method, a stipulated amount is paid at regular intervals for which the Architect is obligated to render a certain service or to spend a certain amount of time on Client’s requirements. The compensation is usually enough to pay for the minimum services required by the Client. All additional services rendered by the Architect shall be paid separately. In addition to the compensation based on retainer, his expenses for travel, subsistence and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred while away from his home/office shall be reimbursed by the Client. (c) Rate cost times a multiplier plus reimbursable expenses – This cost-based method of compensation is applicable only to non-creative work such as accounting, secretarial, research and lecture, teaching, coaching and mentoring,data gathering, preparation of reports and the like. This is based on technical hour expended and does not account for creative work because the value of creative design cannot be measured by the length of time the designer has spent on his work. This method of remuneration is best suited for projects whose costs are difficult to predetermine, or in cases where it may become necessary to undertake additional experimental or investigative work, the result of which may further alter the scope of the project. For example, this method is applied on Pre-Design Services. At the start of the commission, the Architect shall make known to the Client the rate of professionals and personnel who will be assigned to the Project and the multiplier that has to be applied before agreeing to this method of compensation.  This method is based on the total rate cost of Architect, Consultantand his staff multiplied by a factor from 1.5 to 3.0 as a multiplier plus cost of certain items that are reimbursable to the Architect classified under “Direct Cost” or “Reimbursable Expenses”. The following formula is used to compute the total fee: ! Total Fee = Rate Cost x Multiplier + Reimbursable Expenses Assume: A= Architect’s rate / hour C= Consultant’s rate / hour T= Rate per hour of Technical Staff, Researchers and other involved in the Project N= No. of hours AN, CN, TN = No. of hours spent by Architect,. Consultants and Technical Staff Rate Cost = AN + CN +TN Multiplier - from 1.5 to 3.0 depending on office set-up of Architect and complexity of the Project.Multiplier to take care of overhead and reasonable profit. Reimbursable Expenses - such as transportation, housing and living allowance of Consultant, transportation, per diem, housing and living allowance of local consultants and technical staff if assigned to place over 100km. from area of operation of the Architect. Cost of printing of extra set of drawings, reports, maps, contract documents, etc. over the seven (7) copies submitted to the Client; overseas and long distance calls; technical and laboratory tests, licenses, fees and taxes, needed by the Project. (d) Professional Fee plus reimbursable expenses - This method of compensation is frequently used where there is continuing relationship on a series of Projects. It establishes an agreed lump sum over and above the reimbursement for the Architect’s technical time and overhead. An agreement on the general scope of the work is necessary in order to set an equitable fee. (e) Fixed/Lump sum payment – This method of compensation may be used when the scope of services required can be clearly and fully defined.  Two methods may generally be used to arrive at a lump-sum compensation for the basic services: 1. The first is the computation of a lump-sum as an appropriate percentage of the estimate total cost of the project. 2. The second is direct development of a fixed amount of compensation by estimating the individual elements of the cost outlines, plus a reasonable margin of profit, all expressed as a single lump-sum. These two methods are frequently used concurrently with one serving as a check to the other. Where compensation is given on a lump-sum basis, the agreements should contain a clearly stated time limit during which the services will be performed, and a provision for additional compensation for extra time used. In design assignments, these should be a provision for charges required after the approval of preliminary designs, with a clear understanding as to where the final approval authority lies. Which means that there are changes made by the Client either during the design or construction stage that add costs not only to the construction but also the work of the Architect, thus for every change in the work, the Architect and the Client will have to supplement their contract to stipulate the additional fee and time involved. (f) Percentage Fee–This 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 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 Client-Architect agreement need not be supplemented. (g) Mixed Methods of Compensation – This document provide for more than one methods of compensation on a project. Each project should be examined to determine the most appropriate method of establishing an equitable method of compensation between the Architect and the Client. There is no reason that an assortment of compensation methods should not be used if appropriate in a single project. For example, Pre-Design Services and Construction Work Services could be compensated on a multiple of Direct Personnel Expense, while the Regular and Specialized Allied Design Services could be paid on a Percentage of Construction Cost basis. (h) Unit Cost Method – The remuneration under this method is based on cost per square meters of the project such as room, store, buildings or other unit. Example, office planning and interior design which is the same unit used in lease rates and tenant allowances in commercial building. Other like hotel projects is often based on cost per square meter.  However, unit cost estimating requires accurate and timely data on the cost of providing services for each unit and renovation of unit requires more service effort than those new unit. (i) Based Value Pricing – The remuneration under this method is a “valuepricing” based on the outcome of revenue, cost and profitability result of a project engagements or based on a measurable profit on specific Clients. Examples of such metrics include sales in retail facilities, leasing in housing or commercial office/residence developments. NOTES: 1) It is important that prior to the start of any project or commission, a Professional Service Agreement is necessarily be approved mutually by Architect and the Owner/Client. The standard practice for rendering Regular Design Services is to request for a five percent (5%) Mobilization Fee of the agreed amount upon signing of the Professional Service Agreement. 2) Owner/Client shall make payments upon request of the Architect within seven (7) calendar days from the submission of the statement of the account. 3) Should the Owner/Client prefers to engage the Architect for Architectural Services only and separately hire the services of Allied Professional and/or Specialist Consultant their professional fees shall be for the account of the Client. In such case, the fee of the Architect for coordinating and relating the work of the Allied Professional and/or Specialist Consultant to the design concept of the Architect will be five percent (5%) of the Allied Professional and/or Specialist Consultant’s feeaside from his fees from Regular Design Services. 4) The Architect is the prime professional for having a contract directly with the Client/Owner for professional services and responsible for directing the team of the Allied Professional/ Specialist Consultants. 5) For government projects, the selection of Professional Consulting Architect shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of R.A. No. 9184, otherwise known as the Government Procurement Reform Act of 2003. Basic Fee(BF) shall be integrated Architectural and Engineering Services into one (1) contract.  RULE III SCHEDULE OF FEESON ALL TYPES OF ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES The entire range of the Architect’s services is divided into ten (10)major services as follows: 1) Pre-Design Services (UAP Doc. 201) 2) Regular Design Services (UAP Doc. 202) 3) Specialized Architectural Services (UAP Doc. 203) 4) Full-Time Supervision (UAP Doc. 204-A) 5) Construction Management (UAP Doc. 204-B) 6) Post-Construction Services (UAP Doc. 205) 7) Comprehensive Architectural (UAP Doc. 206) Services 8) Design-Build Services (UAP Doc. 207) 9) Architectural Design Competition (UAP Doc. 208) 10) Professional Architectural Consulting (UAP Doc. 209) Services Each of these ten (10) major services can be contracted separately to the Architect depending upon the desire and needs of the Client.The terms and conditions for the delivery of theseArchitect’s Services are stipulatedon each Architect’s Guidelines on Standards of Professional Practice Documents.  MATRIX OF SERVICES METHODS OF COMPENSATION FIXED/LUMP SUM PAYMNENT BASED VALUE PRICING SCHEDULE OF PROFESSIONAL FEE UNIT COST METHOD SERVICES PERCENTAGE FEE FEES MIXED METHOD RATE COST RETAINER PER DIEM SECTION 1.
