The Contract Design Agreement with Client in Virginia is a formal document establishing the relationship between an Architect and the Owner for the design of a residence or building. The agreement outlines the Architect's responsibilities, including schematic design, design development, and preparation of construction documents, while specifying the compensation structure, which should not exceed a predetermined fee. It emphasizes compliance with applicable codes and the necessity for periodic inspections during construction. The Owner is required to provide necessary information and to designate a representative for efficient communication.
