THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE OF ARCHITECTS DETAILS OF SERVICE TO BE RENDERED SCHEDULE OF PROPER MINIMUM CHARGES Art. VI of the Constitution of the American Institute of Architects is as follows: The Institute shall from time to time adopt a Code or Codes, which shall be standards of professional practice, and it may from time to time recommend a Schedule of Professional Charges, complying with good practice and custom, but such a Schedule shall not be made mandatory. I. The Architect's professional services consist of the necessary conferences, the preparation of preliminary studies, working drawings, specifications, large scale and full size detail drawings; the drafting of forms of proposals and contracts; the issuance of certificates of payment; the keeping of accounts, the general administration of the business and supervision of the work, for which, except as hereinafter mentioned, a proper minimum charge, based upon the total cost of the work complete, is six per cent. 2.

Should the Owner determine to have certain portions of the work executed under separate contracts, as the Architect's burden of service, expense and responsibility is thereby increased, the rate in connection with such portions of the work is greater (usually by four per cent) than the basic rate. Should the Owner determine to have substantially the entire work executed under separate contracts, then such higher rate applies to the entire work. In any event, however, the basic rate, without increase, applies to contracts for any portions of the work on which the Owner reimburses the engineer's fees to the Architect. 7. If, after a definite scheme has been approved the Owner makes a decision which, for its proper execution, involves extra services and expense for changes in or |
