Client and Architect Agreement 2009 Update
Minor clarifications based on member input have been made to the CAA-2009 Client and Architect Agreement from September 2010, as follows:
- In A. Core Architectural Services >A.1 Concept Design > Pre-design, the bullet point “review the project budget” has been deleted.
- In A. Core Architectural Services >A.2 Design Development > Developed Design, bolded words are added to the bullet point “review the developed design against the budget for the Cost of Works and coordinate the preparation of an updated estimate of the Cost of Works”
- In C. Cost, the second sentence of the first paragraph has the word “agreed” deleted to read “The client agrees that their initial budget for the Total Project Cost appropriately...etc.”
We have also made minor amendments in clause H and Schedule H to assist in completing that schedule item when you adopt a limitation of liability. We have also amended the relevant section of the User Guide to assist with this.
If you have unused copies of the original version purchased prior to September 2010 and want to incorporate the changes, you can contact Knowledge Services on 03 8620 3877 or knowledge@architecture.com.au for free replacement pages.
