Equitable
Client/Architect
Agreements Policy

Summary

Architects want to work with their clients to deliver successful projects. The Australian Institute of Architects (the Institute) believes project success is most likely when architects work under balanced, equitable and insurable terms of engagement. Too often, terms of engagement put forward by clients, both Government and private, fall short of this.

The Institute has identified key principles that provide the foundation for balanced, equitable and insurable client/architect agreements.
