Documentary evidence

Article Abstract:

The new Standard Form of Agreement for the Appointment of an Architect (SFA/92) has been issued by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Lawyers and insurers welcome the contract from the architect's point of view. Architects welcome many features of the document but fear it may deter potential clients. One of the aims of the contract is to make it clear that the client will share responsiblity for an agreement with an architect. This may scare clients into design and build and reduce work for architects.
