The Architect contract agreement for small projects in Minnesota establishes a formal arrangement between the Owner and the Architect to execute professional services for a specific project, generally involving residential or small building design. Key features include detailed descriptions of the Architect's basic services, which encompass schematic design, design development, and construction documentation phases, ensuring compliance with relevant building codes and standards. The agreement outlines payment structures, responsibilities of both the Architect and the Owner, and provisions for reimbursable expenses and additional services. Fillable sections detail critical financial aspects, including fees and compensation terms. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and owners who engage architects for projects, as well as associates, paralegals, and legal assistants responsible for drafting, reviewing, or negotiating such agreements. By providing a clear framework for responsibilities and payment, the agreement aims to mitigate disputes and ensure that both parties understand their obligations, enhancing project execution efficiency.
