Frequently asked
How is this different from other industry-standard forms?
Unlike forms written for the whole construction industry, this agreement is drafted specifically from the architect’s perspective, in plain language.
Can I edit it for my project?
Yes. It arrives as an editable Microsoft Word file, so you can adapt names, scope, fees, and project-specific terms while keeping the attorney-drafted structure intact.
