CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT
Architect- The architect shall act in matters of law and negotiations on the client’s behalf. He will not proceed
without the client’s consent, nor will any amendments be made in the client’s absence. Any materials, drawings,
data, finances will be held confidential unless the client allows for. Any discounts, favors that could lead to the
project’s failure will be prevented immediately. Financial charts or related expenditure will be made accountable
by the architect before the client’s knowledge.

Consultant- If a consultant is employed then, he becomes the person responsible for the particular task. In any
such case the architect will be omitted from being accountable. Anyhow, on the client’s content, the architect
may advise/ supervise the work alongside the consultant.

Contractor/ sub-contractor/ supplier- The contractor will be nominated by the client or the architect on his
levels of competence and effectiveness. Under any circumstances, the contractor/ sub-contractor will be
responsible for the project’s development. The client will have no objection towards the architect in such
conditions. The architect can therefore monitor the contractor’s work, supplier dealings and financial
regards on the client’s consent.
Site inspection- The architect will visit the site at project’s initiation and construction commencement. If,
however regular visits are required, the clerical staff will do so to check whether construction is in alignment
with proposed documents. All visits will be paid by the client.

architect’s proposal and site work is in coherence within the project’s framework. This shall make
procedures run smooth without unnecessarily delays if the client is not/ cannot be present.
Copyright- All documents and drawings, prepared during the project course will be in the architect’s ownership.
The client will however be provided documents in case the architect completes the final design proposal.

architect. If the architect hasn’t been notified within a period of 6 months to resume work, the architect will
notify the client in writing, if the notice isn’t responded within 30 days, the project will be considered terminated
by the architect. Termination of architect may be regarded by either party. In case of death or incapacity, the
client will pay dues either on contract or tender basis and have access to drawings and documents. The client
will therefore be allowed to proceed with the project but the drawings will be used for the proposed project only.

Settlement of disputes- Any arising disputes will be brought forward before an arbitrator who’s nominated
either by the client or the architect. The negotiation is based on a joint statement of resolved facts and the parties
