Scope of Services Version 1.0The Consulting Architects of Alberta and the Consulting Engineers of Alberta are pleased to present Version 1.0 of the new Scope of Services document.
Download a PDF VERSION of the Scope of Services document. BackgroundIn 2009 the Consulting Architects of Alberta (CAA) and the Consulting Engineers of Alberta (CEA) agreed that the Recommended Conditions of Engagement and Schedule of Professional Fees, issued by the Alberta Association of Architects (AAA) and the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA), needed to be updated and brought under the joint authorship of the CAA and CEA, consistent with their role as advocacy bodies. Determination of fees for architectural, engineering and interior design services no longer falls with the jurisdiction of the AAA and APEGGA in their role as regulatory bodies for their respective professions, but services provided by architects and engineers do. A living documentIt is important to note: This is the FIRST EDITION of this document. It is the intention of CAA and CEA to update this document annually, consistent with emergent trends and input from private and public sector clients and members. ONGOING task force work will explore and address a variety of issues identified as important but not fully dealt with in this first edition. Three distinct, yet interconnected parts
PART 1: BASIC SERVICES FOR BUILDING PROJECTS IN ALBERTA PART 1: Basic Services for Building Projects in AlbertaThe intent of Part 1 is to describe the scope of basic services and standard terms of agreement for a normal building design process. PART 2: Determining Fees for Basic ServicesClients are encouraged to select a team of architect and consultants based on merit; the experience and expertise of the firm and the team members proposed, compatibility, creativity, approach and methodology: qualification-based rather than fee-based selection. PART 3: Definitions & Additional Information Related to A & E ServicesThis section provides insight and guidance to clients and member firms as they define the anticipated scope of work and determine an appropriate fee for specific services and specialty consultants outside the normal scope of basic services.
