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

participating.
