Frequently asked
How is this different from other industry-standard forms?
Unlike forms written for the whole construction industry, the Architect/Consultant Agreement is drafted specifically from the architect’s perspective, in plain language your clients can read without their own attorney translating every clause.
Can I edit it for my project?
Yes. It arrives as an editable Microsoft Word file, so you can adapt names, scope, fees, and project-specific terms while keeping the attorney-drafted structure intact.
Part of the ALA contract library : attorney-drafted agreements in clear language, written for the way architects actually work. Four contracts cost more than a year of ALA membership, which includes every document free.
