The Architect Agreement outlines the contractual relationship between the Owner and the Architect, detailing the scope and expectations for professional services related to a building project in Nassau. A key feature is the establishment of a contract architect hourly rate, which must be specified within the document. The form provides instructions for filling in compensation amounts, service descriptions, and outlines various phases of architectural work including schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and construction phase administration. For target audiences such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, this form serves as a crucial legal document that ensures transparency and accountability in project costs and deliverables. It emphasizes the importance of written approvals for additional services billed at specific hourly rates, underscores owner's responsibilities in facilitating the project, and delineates terms for reimbursable expenses. By using this agreement, parties can minimize misunderstandings and protect their legal interests throughout the architectural process.
