METHOD OF SELECTION
1.Direct selection
2. Comparative selection
3. Architectural design competition
DIRECT SELECTION
• Used when undertaking a relatively small project.
• The Client selects his Architect on the basis of:
• Reputation
• Personal or business acquaintance or recommendation of a
friend
• Recommendation of the Architect's former Client
• Recommendation of another Architect.

COMPARATIVE SELECTION
·
May be conducted by committees representing institutions,
corporations or public agencies. The selection process involves:
• Invitation. The Client issues an invitation which includes the
Terms of Reference (TOR) for the project which is based on
the Design Brief prepared by another Architect. The
selection committee established by the Client may consist of
representatives from other State-regulated professions
and/or the construction industry, as well as persons with
related expertise.
• Pre-qualification. Architects and/or PRC-registered
Architectural Firms (AFs) submit information regarding their
qualification and expertise.
• Interview. The Architect explains his methodology in
translating the plan/design requirements of the proposed
project.
• Verification. The selection committee may visit buildings
designed by the Architects and check references such as
former clients and financial institutions.
• Evaluation and ranking. The selection committee may
 adopt its own procedure in evaluating the entries and
recommending the most capable firm.
• Negotiation. The Architect explains to the Client the Scope
of
Services and the Architect's Fee as prescribed under the
Architect's Guidelines.

DESIGN COMPETITION
• Used for civic or monumental projects. The competition
may either be an idea competition, design or design build
competition. Various Architects or architectural firms submit
plan/design solutions to a particular design problem and are
judged on the basis of comparative excellence.
Advantages:
• The Client/Committee will have a wider range of options.
Disadvantages
• Expensive and time consuming
• Time and effort required may discourage qualified firms
• Some potentially unscrupulous prospective Clients will seek
free services under the guise of design competition

SPP DOC. 201

Standards of Professional Practice on
Pre-design Services

PART 1
Introduction

PREDESIGN SERVICES
• The basic services provided by the Architect have remained
 relatively unchanged over the years.
However, the Architect must expand his services in response to
·
• the increasing demands of his/her Clients,
• the evolution of new standards of regulated professional
practice,
• the advancement of technology and
• the enactment of new laws.

PREDESIGN SERVICES
• Involving the Architect in the earliest stages of the project will
be most advantageous to the Client since the Architect can
provide the Client with objective project analysis,
establishing parameters to optimize building needs vis-à-vis
available resources and attendant constraints.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Services Included in the Scope of
Predesign Services

Scope of services
·
1: CONSULTATION
• When a Client calls upon the Architect to give oral or written
advice and direction, to attend conferences, to make
evaluations and appraisals regarding a contemplated project
and similar activities, the Architect renders valuable inputs
whether or not the Client pursues the project.
2: PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDIES
• These preliminary studies involve the procurement, analysis
and use of secondary information gathered for the project
to aid the Client in early decision-making.
• They represent the Architect's initial assessment of a
project's soundness, allowing the Client to promptly
explore his options.

3: FEASIBILITY STUDIES
• Detailed analysis of the project based on pre- feasibility
studies that will determine the viability of a proposed
development.
• The studies will set the project against present and future
trends to forecast how it will perform over time. This requires
primary data gathering and analysis.

4: SITE SELECTION AND ANALYSIS

• The formulation of site criteria, assistance to the client in site
evaluation, as well as analysis to determine the most
appropriate site for a project

5: SITE UTILIZATION AND LAND- USE STUDIES

• Detailed analysis of the site involving the identification of a
site's potentials
• The analysis covers the context of the site as well as that of
its surrounding environment and the development controls
that apply to the site

6: ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH
• The conduct of primary and secondary researches and
 assembled facts used as basis for conclusion.

7: ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING
• This analytical problem-seeking process will lead to the
statement and identification of both horizontal and vertical
requirements in offering a solution.
• It incorporates a space program with characterizations of the
envisioned spaces such as ambiance, cost range, etc.

8: SPACE PLANNING
• The Architect determines the adequate size and appropriate
configuration for a proposed project in consideration of the
use, allocation and interface of spaces for given activities.
• Space planning is done mainly through primary data
gathering such as interviews, consultations, interfaces, focus
group discussions (FGDs), space planning surveys, space
audits, and analysis

9: SPACE MANAGEMENT STUDIES

• An analysis of the space requirements of the project based
on organizational structure and functional set-up
• This analysis pinpoints linkages and interaction of spaces.
The formulation of the space program will serve as the basis
for the development of the architectural plan/design.

10: VALUE MANAGEMENT

• This technique is applied in the cost management process to
minimize the negative effect of many cost-reduction
programs.
• The goal of value management is to achieve an unimpaired
 program at minimum cost. Thus, a plan, design or system
that has been successfully value-managed will still satisfy
the same performance criteria as the costlier alternatives.
·
11: DESIGN BRIEF PREPARATION
• Under design brief preparation, the Architect states the
project terms of reference (TOR) including the concept,
objectives and other necessary requirements to bid out
architectural services (whether public or private).

12: PROMOTIONAL SERVICES

• Projects may require promotional activities in order to
develop and generate financial support and acceptance from
governing agencies or from the general public.
• In such cases, the Architect can act as the agent of the
Owner by producing and coordinating the additional activities
necessary to complete the services. In all such activities, the
Architect must maintain his professional status as the
representative of the Owner.

Manner of providing services

MANNER OF PROVIDING SERVICES
• As an individual
• Architect's own staff
• By association, consultation or networking
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION

3 CLASSIFICATIONS

A. Percentage-based Fee
A. Percentage Based on Project Construction Cost
B. Unit Cost Method
C. Value-based Pricing/Percentage of Gross Rentals
B. Time Basis
C. Lump Sum or Fixed Fee
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION
 PERCENTAGE-BASED FEE
 Percentage based on Project Construction Cost

• Percentage related to size and type of the project

• PF is determined by multiplying the specified percentage with the
estimated, awarded or final project construction cost

• Fair to both the Client and the Architect

• Flexible and easy to apply, especially if there will be changes
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION
 PERCENTAGE-BASED FEE
 UNIT COST METHOD

• Variation of the percentage-based method

• Based on cost per square meter of the project (based on historical
data)
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION
 PERCENTAGE-BASED FEE
 VALUE-BASED PRICING/ PERCENTAGE OF GROSS RENTALS

• Remuneration is “value pricing” based on the outcome of revenue, cost, and

profitability result of a project engagement, or based on a measurable profit.
• Sales, lease
• Architect goes beyond building admin, by innovating schemes to attain
maximum building occupancy, and economical and efficient operation and
maintenance
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION

 TIME BASIS
 Multiple of Direct Personel Expenses

• Cost-based method applicable only to non-creative work; based on

technical hours spent.

• (MAN HOUR X RATE X MULTIPLIER) + REIMBURSABLE

• The multiplier ranges from 1.5-2.5 depending on the office set-up, overhead and
experience of the Architect and complexity of the Project.
• Reimbursable expenses: transportation, housing, living allowance, cost
of printing, etc.
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION

 TIME BASIS
 Professional Fee Plus Expenses

• Frequently used where there is a continuing relationship involving series of

projects.

• It establishes a fixed sum over and above the reimbursement for the Architect’s
technical time and overhead
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION

 TIME BASIS
 Per Diem, Honorarium plus Reimbursable Expenses

• In some cases a Client may request an Architect to do work which will require
his personal time.

• For these particular activities, the Architect as agent of the Owner may be
paid on a per diem and honorarium basis plus out-of-pocket expenses such
as but not limited to travel, accommodations and subsistence.
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION

 TIME BASIS
 Salary cost times a multiplier, plus direct cost or reimbursable expenses

• Best suited for projects for which the costs are difficult to predetermine.
• Or in cases where it may become necessary to undertake additional
experimental or investigative work, the result of which may further alter the scope
of the project
• FEE= SALARY COST (or direct salary expenses) x MULTIPLIER(3.0)+REIMBURSABLE
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION

 TIME BASIS
 Per Diem or Hourly Basis

• Hourly fees are well suited for consultation services, testimony in court, or similar
work involving miscellaneous personal services. Most Architects have standard
published schedules of hourly rates for various classifications of technical and
non-technical employees.
• Sub-consultant and reimbursable direct expenses are usually billed at invoice
cost plus an agreed service charge for handling.
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION

 TIME BASIS
 Retainer

• The employment of Architects on a retainer-fee basis is a common

practice of clients who wish to be assured of always having available the
services of an individual architect or architectural firm. It is also used when
the services of an architect specialist are not required on a full-time basis.
• The amount of the retainer varies with the character and value of the
services to the client and the reputation and standing of the consultant in
his or her profession.
SPP
METHODS OF COMPENSATION

 LUMP SUM OR FIXED FEE

• Used when the scope of services can be clearly and fully defined at the outset
of the project
• Architect can prepare a comprehensive estimate of work hours and
overhead costs
• Two methods to arrive at lump-sum compensation
• Lump-sum as an appropriate percentage of the probable project
construction cost
• Direct development of fixed amount of compensation
