Description

The Contract with Architect in King lays out the terms of agreement between an Owner and an Architect for the design and construction of a residential project. Key features include the Architect’s commitment to provide professional services outlined in several phases: Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documents, each with specific documentation and deliverables. The document specifies the compensation structure for the Architect, which must not exceed a predetermined fee, and covers additional costs that may arise due to changes requested by the Owner.

Filling and editing the form requires careful attention to detail, particularly in specifying costs, project parameters, and timelines.

It encourages clear communication, helps manage legal liabilities, and ensures that both parties understand their rights and obligations in the collaborative process.
