THE VIRTUES OF AN ARCHITECT

May the Architect be high-minded;

not arrogant, but faithful;

just, and easy to deal with,

without avarice;

Not let his mind be occupied

in receiving gifts,

but let him preserve his good name

with dignity

PREFACE

On October 25, 1965, the Architects National Code was approved and adopted by the

three (3) architectural organizations existing at that time, namely; the Philippine Institute

of Architects (PIA), the League of Philippine Architects (LPA) and the Association ofPhilippine Government Architects (APGA).

On January 15, 1975, the three (3) architectural organizations were integrated intoone

association called the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP).

The UAP, in response to the need to review and update the documents in order to be

more responsive to the practice of the Profession in the Philippines prepared and

divided the Architects National Code into two divisions namely:

1. Code of Ethical Conductand

2. Standards of Professional Practice

On July 21, 1979, the Architects National Code was approved by the UAP National

Board of Directors and on September 24, 1979, the Professional Regulation

Commission (PRC) through the Board of Architecture (BOA), adopted the Architects

National Code as part of the Rules and Regulations to which all practicing architects

shall conform in the performance of their duties and obligations.

After 28 years on August 18, 2007, the UAP National Board of Directors headed by

Archt. Medeliano T. Roldan, Jr., FUAP then UAP National Presidentpassed a Board

Resolution approving the UAP Proposal No.04 with the intent of creating a Special

Committee to handle all matters relating to the compilation, review, evaluation,

amendments and revision of the Documents on Standards on Professional Practice

and related UAP Documents including Guidelines on Corporate Practice of

Architecture. Subsequently on August 21, 2007, Executive Order No. 0708-006 was

passed creating and establishing a Special Committee on Standards of Professional

Practice to comply with the provisions of Republic Act 9266 (the Architecture Act of

2004) and Batas PambansaBlg. 68 (the Corporate Code of the Philippines) and other

related rules, regulations and codes, and to respond to the increasing public and usersdemand, the evaluation of new standards of regulated professional practice, the

advancement of technology and the enactment of new laws.

The Ad-Hoc Committees on Standards of Professional Practice during one of their

meetings unanimously agreed to consolidate all the Architects Compensations and

Schedule of Fees into one (1) document, then UAP National President Archt. Ana S.

Mangalino-Ling, FUAP, Apec Architect mandated and tasked the committee headed by

Archt. Norberto M. Nuke, FUAP, LIKHA, Apec Architect to prepare the document to be

presented to the UAP National Board of Directors for approval.

The title ARCHITECTS GUIDELINES on Standards of Professional Practice,

METHODS OF COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE OF FEES UAP DOC. 208-A was

adopted from the documents on Standards of Professional Practice, the 1979 UAP


11/63

DOC. 208-b Methods of Compensation and the consolidation on Methods of

Compensation and Schedule of Fees on all types of Architectural Services. The new

version includes a comprehensive Methods of Compensation and Schedule of Fees as

the practice of architecture has become more complex and intricate to meet the

challenges in determining the right compensation as the Architect services increases.

To effectively respond to the present needs and demands of the profession, the

Committee had prepared the ARCHITECTS GUIDELINES, defining the rules and

regulations to be followed in implementing the provisions on METHODS OF

COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE OF FEES UAP DOC. 208-A.

The UAP National Board of Directors in their last regular meeting held on June 26,

2010 at UAP National Headquarters in Quezon City, approved Board Resolution 09-10

No. 7-16 for adoption the ARCHITECTS GUIDELINES on Standards of Professional

Practice, METHODS OF COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE OF FEES, UAP DOC.

208-A.

The Architects Guidelines will be the official IAPOA issuance to be observed by all

IAPOA members

INTRODUCTION

There are architects all over the Philippines practising in the seventeen (17) regions of

the country. However, at this point in time, they are uncertain and confused as to what

standards of fees and what manner of payments would apply to the various types of

projects they undertake. To complicate the situation, technology has evolved so fast

that the classification of types of buildings has becomecomplex, and numerous types of

structures have made their appearance in the planning, design and construction scene,

which makes the calculation of charges for professional fees more complicated.

In general, professional fees are project-based, with basic fees computed as a

percentage of construction cost of materials and labor plus incidentals. However, there

are various types of projects and various levels of complexity, and so, guidelines for

computation of professional fees must be produced for such variations in the projects

undertaken by Architects.

Thus, the United Architects of the Philippines is publishing this document entitled UAP

Doc. 208-A: Architects Guidelines on Standards of Professional Practice,

Methods of Compensation and Schedule of Fees, on how Architects would charge

their Clients for services rendered, in order to provide a convenient consolidatedreference for the use of Architects. This document consolidates in onereferencethe

methods of compensation of services found and discussed in the other UAP

documents.

RULE I

TITLE, RATIONALE, OBJECTIVES, POLICY STATEMENT AND

DEFINITION OF TERMS

SECTION 1: TITLE

This Document shall be known asARCHITECTSGUIDELINES ONMETHODS

OF COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE OF FEES, UAP DOC.208-A (replacing the

1979 DOC. 208-b)METHODS OF COMPENSATION &THE CONSOLIDATION ON

METHODS OF COMPENSATION & SCHEDULE OF FEES ON ALL TYPES OFARCHITECTURAL SERVICES.

SECTION 2: RATIONALE

2.1 The urgent need to set the parameters on Architects Guidelines on Methods of

Compensation and Schedule of Fees is paramount to the Architect in the

practice of his profession. This will standardize the ranges for which the Client

will compensate an Architect in direct relation to the value of services that the

Architect provides.

2.2 The professional competence of the Architect must be well established andadequate to meet the Clients needs and requirements.In order to grow andprogress in his career the Architect must possess the appropriate knowledgeand skills needed to be proactive,he must gained the training, exposure andrelevant experience in order to deliver the project at par to the satisfaction of theClient.

2.3The purpose of the Architects Guidelines is to complement existing professional

regulatorylaws governing the practice State-regulated, specifically architectureas governed by R.A. 9266 (The Architecture Act of 2004) and its derivative

regulations, the Code of Ethical Standard, Standards of Professional Practice

and other related laws, policies, rules and regulations approved and

implemented by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and/or other

concerned government entities. Therefore nothing in the Guidelinesmust unduly

affect the said laws, policies, rules and regulations, and Architects National

Code (ANC) specifically Codes of Ethical Conduct and Standards of Professional

Practice.


19/63

SECTION 3: OBJECTIVES

3.1By law, the Architect must first belicensed and registered by the PRC and UAP-IAPOA respectively. As such, the standards andparameters, to which theArchitect who offer and/or make his services available, are adhered to in order to

develop and nurture the competencies, credibility and integrity of the Architect inthe practice of his profession.

3.2 The common practice of the Architect to determine his compensation on aproject-based fee structures were often estimated through the percentage of theproject cost as indicated on theSchedule on Minimum Basic Fees under theRegular Design Services, UAP Doc. 202. However, with the evolvement of newtechnology, the complexity andlarge scale development projects and uniquenessof many building projects, the most common practice is lump sum fee based onthe project cost, complexity and deliverables, and also had led to the use ofseveral trends in calculating compensation for architectural services in order to

meet changing Client expectations and improve the economic performance ofthe Architect.

3.3Integrity, good performance and deliveryof the project on time to the satisfaction

of the Client maintains a long-term Architect-Client relationshipsthat will lead to

the success of the Architect in the practice of his profession.

SECTION 4: POLICY STATEMENT

Architects should perform professional services only when they are qualified by

education, training and or experience in the specific technical areas involved and duly

registered by the PRC-BoA.

Vision

A National Code for Architects relevant to the times, setting the standards for the

proper maintenance of ethical and professional conduct in the practice of architecture.

Mission

To achieve the desired high degree of professionalism in line with R.A. No.

9266, to enhance the standards for global competitiveness and to formulate guidelines

and policies for the protection of life, health and property.

RULE II


SECTION 1: CRITERIA

The criteria for computing the Architects compensation should be based on mutual

evaluation of the amount of the Architectural firms talents, skill, experience,

imagination, effort and time available for, and required by the project.

1.1 The method of compensation should:

a. Be fair to the Architect in that it should permit him to recover his costs andnet him an adequate profit, provided he is reasonably efficient.

b. Be fair to the Client and the Architect by reflecting the value of theArchitects services.

c. Be flexible to protect the Architect from cost increases because of changesor the scope of the commission.

d. Not create legal problems for the Architect.e. Encourage the Client to be cooperative and supportive.f. Provide incentive for the Architect to produce the highest design quality.g. Be easy to understand and simple use.h. Provide a basis for the Client to pre-determine his costs for architectural

services, and be otherwise acceptable to him.i. Encourage the Architect to develop a solution which will result in the lowest

possible construction cost consistent with the Clients requirements.j. Not focus the Clients attention on price, but rather on the quality and

performance of the Architects services.k. Protect the Architect against the rising costs of providing services during the

course of a commission.

1.2. The computation of the compensation of fees shall depend on the type ofservices to be rendered and the conditions under which they are to be

performed. Compensation for services that require only one kind of expertise orrelated types of expertise shall be treated differently from those services thatrequire the use of more than one type of expertise.

1.3 Compensation of an Architect may be computed based on one or acombination of the following methods, with modifications applicable to the typesof services and/ or specific cases, if and when needed.

SECTION 2: METHODS OF COMPENSATION


24/63


25/63

This method is based on the total rate cost of Architect, Consultantand hisstaff multiplied by a factor from 1.5 to 3.0 as a multiplier plus cost ofcertain items that are reimbursable to the Architect classified underDirect Cost or Reimbursable Expenses.

The following formula is used to compute the total fee:

Total Fee = Rate Cost x Multiplier + Reimbursable Expenses

Assume:

A = Architects rate / hour

C = Consultants rate / hour

T = Rate per hour of Technical Staff, Researchers and other involved in theProject

N = No. of hours

AN, CN, TN = No. of hours spent by Architect,. Consultants and Technical

Staff

Rate Cost = AN + CN +TN

Multiplier - from 1.5 to 3.0 depending on office set-up of Architect and complexity

of the Project.Multiplier to take care of overhead and reasonable profit.

Reimbursable Expenses - such as transportation, housing and living

allowance of Consultant, transportation, per diem, housing and living

allowance of local consultants and technical staff if assigned to place over

100km. from area of operation of the Architect.

Cost of printing of extra set of drawings, reports, maps, contract

documents, etc. over the seven (7) copies submitted to the Client;

overseas and long distance calls; technical and laboratory tests, licenses,

fees and taxes, needed by the Project.

(d) Professional Fee plus reimbursable expenses - This method ofcompensation is frequently used where there is continuing relationship ona series of Projects. It establishes an agreed lump sum over and abovethe reimbursement for the Architects technical time and overhead. Anagreement on the general scope of the work is necessary in order to setan equitable fee.

(e) Fixed/Lump sum payment This method of compensation may beused when the scope of services required can be clearly and fully defined.


26/63

Two methods may generally be used to arrive at a lump-sumcompensation for the basic services:

1. The first is the computation of a lump-sum as an appropriatepercentage of the estimate total cost of the project.

2. The second is direct development of a fixed amount of compensationby estimating the individual elements of the cost outlines, plus areasonable margin of profit, all expressed as a single lump-sum.

These two methods are frequently used concurrently with one serving asa check to the other.

Where compensation is given on a lump-sum basis, the agreementsshould contain a clearly stated time limit during which the services will beperformed, and a provision for additional compensation for extra timeused. In design assignments, these should be a provision for charges

required after the approval of preliminary designs, with a clearunderstanding as to where the final approval authority lies. Which meansthat there are changes made by the Client either during the design orconstruction stage that add costs not only to the construction but also thework of the Architect, thus for every change in the work, the Architect andthe Client will have to supplement their contract to stipulate the additionalfee and time involved.

(f) Percentage FeeThis is a world-wide used method of compensation forarchitectural services. The amount of the percentage is related to the sizeand the type of the Project. This method is fair to both the Client and theArchitect as the fee is pegged to the cost of the Project the Client is willingto undertake. It is flexible and easy to apply since if there will be changes,additions or deductions of the work demanded by the Project or requiredby the Client, the Client-Architect agreement need not be supplemented.

(g) Mixed Methods of Compensation This document provide for morethan one methods of compensation on a project. Each project should beexamined to determine the most appropriate method of establishing an

equitable method of compensation between the Architect and the Client.There is no reason that an assortment of compensation methods shouldnot be used if appropriate in a single project.

For example, Pre-Design Services and Construction Work Services couldbe compensated on a multiple of Direct Personnel Expense, while theRegular and Specialized Allied Design Services could be paid on aPercentage of Construction Cost basis.

(h) Unit Cost Method The remuneration under this method is based on

cost per square meters of the project such as room, store, buildings orother unit. Example, office planning and interior design which is the sameunit used in lease rates and tenant allowances in commercial building.Other like hotel projects is often based on cost per square meter.


27/63

However, unit cost estimating requires accurate and timely data on thecost of providing services for each unit and renovation of unit requiresmore service effort than those new unit.

(i) Based Value Pricing The remuneration under this method is a

valuepricing based on the outcome of revenue, cost and profitabilityresult of a project engagements or based on a measurable profit onspecific Clients. Examples of such metrics include sales in retail facilities,leasing in housing or commercial office/residence developments.

NOTES:

1) It is important that prior to the start of any project or commission, aProfessional Service Agreement is necessarily be approved mutually byArchitect and the Owner/Client. The standard practice for rendering RegularDesign Services is to request for a five percent (5%) Mobilization Fee of theagreed amount upon signing of the Professional Service Agreement.

2) Owner/Client shall make payments upon request of the Architect within seven(7) calendar days from the submission of the statement of the account.

3) Should the Owner/Client prefers to engage the Architect for ArchitecturalServices only and separately hire the services of Allied Professional and/or

Specialist Consultant their professional fees shall be for the account of theClient. In such case, the fee of the Architect for coordinating and relating thework of the Allied Professional and/or Specialist Consultant to the designconcept of the Architect will be five percent (5%) of the Allied Professionaland/or Specialist Consultants feeaside from his fees from Regular DesignServices.

4) The Architect is the prime professional for having a contract directly with theClient/Owner for professional services and responsible for directing the teamof the Allied Professional/ Specialist Consultants.

5) For government projects, the selection of Professional Consulting Architectshall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of R.A. No. 9184,otherwise known as the Government Procurement Reform Act of 2003. BasicFee(BF) shall be integrated Architectural and Engineering Services into one(1) contract.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 1: Criteria for Establishing Methods of Compensation

1.1 The criteria for establishing Methods of Compensation ispromulgated,approved and adopted by UAP-IAPOA based on the Board Resolution no.09-10 No. 7-16 duringtheir regular meeting held on June 26, 2010 at UAPNational Headquarters in Quezon City.

1.2 Furthermore, fees for services that require inputs of an artistic, innovativeand creative endeavour shall not be determined in the same manner asservices that involve purely technical and scientific undertakings.

SECTION 2: Collection of Professional Fees

2.1 It shall be unlawful for any unlicensed and unregistered person to collect afee on architectural services exceptfor employees of a Registered andLicensed Architect.

SECTION 3: Bank: Collecting Agent

3.1 It is important to remember that compensation terms dont mean much

without the ability to collect payment on a timely basis. Architects can often

overlook the importance of collections in negotiating contracts and

managing projects and client relationships. Collection usually needs to be

addressed by firm principals with their Client counterparts. Even the best

accounting staff cannot overcome high-level misunderstandings about

payment obligations. Through assigning the bank as a collecting agent,collection of payments for the architect will be simplified.

3.2 Client may pose collection of compensation payment through banks as

agreed by both Clients and Architects.

SECTION 4: Interest Due on Late Payment of Fees

4.1 The Architect shall be entitled to interest at the prevailing rate set by the

BangkoSentralngPilipinas (BSP) in additional to a percentage as may bedetermine by the UAP-IAPOA unless otherwise mutually agreed upon bythe Architect and his client, on all fees, other charges and reimbursementsdue and not paid within thirty (30) days from receipt of billing.

Comparative Estimates between Percentage on Regular Basic Fee and Basic Fee on persq. meter basisExample: A Client wants to build a Shopping Center(commercial building) in the amount ofP 20 million (Project Construction Cost)

Schedule of Regular Basic Fee (IntegratedArchitectural & Engineering Services - A&E)This will fall under Group 2 7% of Probable ProjectConstruction Cost (PPCC).

Based on current valuation of Project Construction Costthe amount is P20,000.00 per sq. meter. Thus the areaof the building with a Project Construction Cost of P20million will be 1,000 sq.meters.

Particular:20,000,000.00 = 1,000 sq.meters

20,000.00

Basic Fee on per square meter basis(P1,000.00 per sq. to P1,500.00 per sq. meter)

Based on current valuation of Project Construction Costthe amount is P20,000.00 per sq. meter. Thus the areaof the building with a Project Construction Cost of P20million will be 1,000 sq.meters.

Particular:

1,000 sq.m.x 1,000.00 per sq.m. = P1,000,000.00To

1,000 sq.m.x 1,500.00 per sq.m. =P1,500,000.00

NOTES:

The Comparative Estimates between the Percentage on Regular Basic Fee is within the range on theBasic Fee per sq. meter basis as shown.

However the computation of Basic Fee per sq. meter is possible only on the current valuation of ProjectConstruction Cost of the Building as of 2011. Thus the increase on Project Construction Cost must beproportional to theamount of Basic Fee per sq. meter.
