Document background
A Proposal For Architectural Services is a foundational document used in the initial stages of engaging architectural services in Ireland. It serves as a detailed outline of the proposed professional relationship between an architect or architectural practice and their potential client. The document is typically prepared following initial client discussions and before the formal engagement, incorporating specific project requirements, scope of services, methodology, timelines, and fee structures. It must comply with Irish building regulations, RIAI guidelines, and relevant legislation including the Building Control Act 2007 and the Construction Contracts Act 2013. This proposal forms the basis for negotiations and, once accepted, can be incorporated into the final service agreement.
