The Contract Design Agreement with Client in Houston outlines the relationship between an owner and an architect, detailing the professional services the architect will provide for construction projects. Key features include the architect's responsibilities during various phases—schematic design, design development, and construction documentation—which ensure adherence to codes and quality standards. The agreement specifies compensation terms for the architect's services and outlines the owner's responsibilities, such as providing project requirements and timely decisions to prevent delays. Filling and editing instructions advise users to accurately complete sections specifying fees, services, and project details. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and owners to ensure clear, legally binding agreements, while paralegals and legal assistants benefit from its structure for effective project management and compliance tracking. The form ultimately serves as a foundational document to facilitate communication and expectations between the parties involved in architectural projects.
