    GENERAL NOTES ON THE

    SELECTION OF THE ARCHITECT


    SPP ANNEX “A”

    Reporter:
    Marry Ann P. Peñaflor
    1.
    INTRODUCTION
    There are many ways by which a Client can engage the
    services of an Architect. The most appropriate method of
    selecting an Architect will depend on the type and
    complexity of the project.
    2. SCOPE OF SERVICE
    The scope of services will depend on the method by
    which the Architect is selected
    3. METHODS OF SELECTION
    Direct Selection- is 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 & 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
    ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
    COMPETITION (ADC)
    Is used for civic or monumental projects. The competition may either
    be an idea competition, design or design build competition. Various
    Architects or architectural firms (AFs) submit plan/design solutions to
    a particular design problem and are judged on the basis of
    comparative excellence.
    ADVANTAGES

    a. Opportunities will be open only to all PRC-registered and


    licensed Architects (RLAs) or PRC-registered Architectural Firms
    (AFs).

    b. The Client/ Committee will have a wider range of options


    DISADVANTAGES
    a. Process may be expensive and time consuming

    b. The time and effort required may discourage qualified firms from
    participating.

    c. Some potentially unscrupulous prospective Clients will seek free services


    under the guise of design competition. Architects must always be constantly
    aware that ownership and copyright issues under Secs. 20 (4) and 33 of R.A.
    No. 9266 must be fully addressed under all architectural competition rules.
