1. What are the six phases of the regular design service? (summarized)
1. PROJECT DEFINITION PHASE

- This phase involves the definition of the requirements of the project by the Owner. The Architect in
turn informs the Owner of the technical requirements of the project and the concomitant professional
fees. In this phase, the Architect:
• Consults with the Owner
• Gathers relevant information and data
• Reviews and refines the owner’s space requirements and translates them into an architectural
program
• Prepares an initial statement of probable construction cost;
2. SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE

- This phase consists of the preparation of schematic design studies derived from the Project
Definition Phase, leading to conceptual plans. The Architect:
• Evaluates the Owner’s program, schedule, budget, project site and proposes methods of
project deliveries
• Prepares the initial line drawings; recommended solution, including a general description of
the project
• Submits to the Owner a Statement of the Probable Project Construction Cost (SPPCC) based
on current cost parameters.
3. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE

- Based on approved schematics and conceptual plans, the Architect prepares:
• Design Development documents (plans, elevations, sections and other drawings)
• Outline specifications (type of materials, type of structural, electrical, mechanical, sanitary,
electronic and communications systems)
• Diagrammatic layout of construction systems, and an updated SPPCC
4. CONTRACT DOCUMENT PHASE

- Based on the approved Design Development Documents, the Architect:
• Prepares the Complete Contract Documents (Detailed designs and construction drawings,
setting forth in detail the work required for the architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing/
sanitary, mechanical, electronic and communication
• Prepares Technical Specifications describing type and quality of materials, finish, manner of
construction and the general conditions under which the project is to be constructed
• Submits to the Owner seven (7) sets of all construction drawings and technical specifications
for purposes of obtaining a building permit
• Updates the SPPCC based on changes in scope, requirements or market conditions
• Assists the Owner in filing the required documents to secure approval of government
authorities having jurisdiction over the design of the Project
5. BIDDING OR NEGOTIATION PHASE
- In this phase, the Architect:
• Prepares the Bid Documents such as forms for contract letting, documents for construction,
forms for invitation and instruction to bidders, forms for bidders’ proposals, general / specific
conditions of contract, etc
• Assists the Owner from the early stage of establishing a list of prospective Contractors to
awarding of the construction contract.
- For competitive bids / procurements, the Architect:

• Furnishes complete sets of the Bid Documents for purposes of bidding in as many sets as may
be required to conduct a successful bidding.
• Helps in organizing and conducting pre-bid conferences
• Responds to questions from bidders; assists the Owner in obtaining proposals from
Contractors, analyzes bid results and prepares abstract of bids, notice of award, notice to
proceed and other construction contracts.
- For negotiated contracts, the Architect performs similar functions as in item 2.5.2 but negotiates with
one Contractor instead of many bidders.
6. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
- In this phase, the Architect performs the following:
• Makes decisions on all claims of the Owner and Contractors on all matters relating to the
execution and progress of work or the interpretation of the Contract Documents
• Prepares change orders, gathers and turns over to the Owner written guarantees required of the
Contractor and Sub-Contractors
• Makes periodic visits to the project site to familiarize himself with the general progress and
quality of work and to ascertain that the work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract
Documents. T
• Determines the amount owing and due to the Contractor and issues corresponding Certificates
for Payment for such amounts based on his observations and the Contractor's Applications for
Payment.
• Should more extensive inspection or full-time (8-hour) construction supervision be required by
the Client, a separate full-time supervisor shall be hired and agreed upon by the Owner and the
Architect subject to the conditions provided in the SPP Document on Full -Time Supervision.
2. Is Pre-Design a phase of the regular design service?
No, Pre-design is a kind of services which can be found on SPP Document 201, those services are;
• Consultation
• Pre-Feasibility Studies
• Feasibility Studies
• Site Selection and Analysis
• Site Utilization and Land-Use Studies
• Architectural Research
• Architectural Programming
• Space Planning
• Space Management Studies
• Value Management
• Design Brief Preparation
• Promotional Services
3. How many project classifications are there? What is the classification based on? Enumerate the
classifications and briefly describe each one.
PROJECT CLASSIFICATION
Professional architectural work is classified in accordance with the degree of complexity and the creative
skill required to meet the requirements of the Client within technical, functional, economic and aesthetic
constraints. Based on these groupings, the corresponding scale of charges shall be prescribed in the
Architect’s Guidelines to determine the fair remuneration to the Architect.
1. GROUP 1: BUILDINGS OF THE SIMPLEST UTILIZATION AND CHARACTER.

- These projects are straightforward, with minimal complexity and design requirements.
- E.g ( Armories, Parking Structures, Bakeries, Printing Plants, Habitable Agricultural Buildings,
Public Markets, Freight Facilities, Service Garages, Hangars, Simple Loft-Type Buildings,
Industrial Buildings, Warehouses, Manufacturing/Industrial Plants, Packaging and Processing
Plants, Other similar utilization type buildings)
2. GROUP 2: BUILDINGS OF MODERATE COMPLEXITY OF PLAN/DESIGN

- These projects have moderate complexity, involving more detailed planning and design.
- E.g ( Art Galleries, Nursing Homes Banks, Exchange and other Office Buildings/ Office

Religious Facilities, Postal Facilities City/Town Halls & Civic Centers Private Clubs)
3. GROUP 3: BUILDINGS OF EXCEPTIONAL CHARACTER AND COMPLEXITY OF
PLAN/DESIGN.
- These buildings are highly complex and require advanced creative and technical expertise.
- E.g (Aquariums Laboratories/ Testing Facilities Nuclear Facilities Marinas and Resort Complexes
Auditoriums Medical Arts Offices & Clinics Airports/Wet & Dry Ports & Terminals Mental
Institutions Breweries Mortuaries Cold Storage Facilities Observatories Telecommunication
Buildings Public Health Centers Convention Facilities Research Facilities)
4. GROUP 4: RESIDENCES
- It emphasizes comfort, safety, and functionality for living spaces.
- Residences (single-detached, single-attached or duplex; row-houses or shophouses), small
apartment houses and townhouses)
5. GROUP 5: MONUMENTAL BUILDINGS AND OTHER FACILITIES

- Monumental projects are unique, often with significant cultural or social importance.
- E.g (Monumental buildings and other facilities Exposition & Fair Buildings Specialized
decorative buildings Mausoleums, Memorials, Museums & Monuments Buildings of similar
nature or us)
6. GROUP 6: REPETITIVE CONSTRUCTION

- Projects where the plan / design and related Contract Documents are re-used for the repetitive
construction of similar buildings without amending the drawing and the specifications
7. GROUP 7: HOUSING PROJECTS

- Housing Project involving the construction of several residential units on a single site with the use
of one (1) set of plans / design, specifications and related documents
8. GROUP 8: PROJECTS INVOLVING EXTENSIVE DETAIL

- Projects involving extensive detail such as designs for built-in components or elements, built-in
equipment, special fittings, screens, counters, architectural interiors (AI), and development
planning and/or design
9. GROUP 9: ALTERATIONS, RENOVATIONS, REHABILITATIONS, RETROFIT AND

EXPANSION/ADDITIONS.
- This classification includes projects that modify existing structures. It covers a range of activities
from minor renovations to major rehabilitations and expansions, focusing on updating, improving,
or extending the life of a building.
10. GROUP 10: RENDERING OF OPINION OR GIVING ADVICE.

- This category involves professional services where the architect provides expert opinions,
consultations, or advisory services without necessarily producing detailed plans or overseeing
construction.
- The Architect is engaged to render opinion or give advice, clarifications or explanation on
