DESIGN-BUILD
SERVICES
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 In any building project,
there is an intricate
balance between time,
quality and cost. The
architecture profession
has been under pressure
to come up with overall
answers to Client’s
demands for simulations
handling of time, quality
and cost of projects with
the goal of maximizing
these factors.
Standards of Professional
Practice
Design and Construct
Services
Article 1 - Introduction
1. Since the Architect is a
professional who has the
education, training, experience,
expertise and the vision holder
of the design, he is the best
person/firm to implement the
entire project, from design to
construction. Dealing with the
day-to-day operations in
constructing a building by a non-
technical client is not an easy
task for a non-technical client.

DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES
ARTICLE I. Introduction
1. In any building project, there is an intricate balance
between time, quality and cost. The Architect has the
education, training, experience and expertise to
qualify him to implement the entire project from
plan/design preparation through construction with
maximum optimization.
2. The Architect may enter into a Design-Build Services
agreement with his Client with the ultimate goal of
delivering projects within the shortest possible time,
with the lowest possible cost and at an acceptable
standard of quality and performance.

1.2 The building industry
and the architectural
profession have devised
several methods of
project delivery with the
ultimate goal of handling
projects in the shortest
possible time, at the
lowest cost and at an
acceptable quality and
performance.
1.3 One method of project
delivery is the Design-
Build Service namely:
a. Design-Build by
Administration
b. Design-Build on a
Guaranteed Maximum
Cost
1.4 Legal Responsibility
This single-point-
responsibility of project
delivery puts the legal
liability for both the
design and the
construction on the
Architect alone.
From canvassing to buying of
materials; from scouting
qualified laborers to supervisors
supervising the work; not to
mention on labor problems that
may raise, the tight schedule of
the client and a lot more. These
are just some of the reasons why
a good number of clients would
want to talk to a singular
professional or an entity to do
his/her project. Most clients now
a days, prefer to have their
project implemented by the
architect through Design and
Construct Services.
2. The Design and Construct
Services is a method of project
delivery by the Architect, acting
as the Architect-of-Record and
as the same time the Architect
in-charge of Construction. The
said Architect is called
“Architect-in-charge of
construction”, which is directly
and professionally responsible
and liable for the construction
supervision of the project. (Art.
3, Sec. 3.1.b of the Republic Act
No. 9266). The architect/firm
shall sign a contract accepting
full responsibility for both design
and construction services of the
project.
Nature. Design and construction
ARTICLE II. Modes or Types of Design-Build Services
1. Design - Build by Administration
2. Design - Build on Guaranteed Maximum Cost
3. Design - Construct
The attached matrix describes the differences among
the three types of design-build services.
ARTICLE III. Dual Role of the Architect
1. Architect - of record (Aor). The Architect is
directly and professionally responsible for the
total design of the project and assumes the
attendant professional responsibility and civil
liability for the plans, specifications and contract
documents signed and sealed. (Art.1, Sec. 3.2.a of
RA 9266)
2. Architect – in – charge of construction (Aicc).
a. The Architect is directly and professionally
responsible and liable for the construction
supervision of the project. (Art.1, Sec. 3.2.b of
RA 9266) ; or

2. DESIGN-BUILD
SERVICE BY
ADMINISTRATION
When the Project is
constructed under the direct
and sole responsibility of the
Architect, he performs the
following services:
2.1 Prepares schedule of
work, construction
program, estimate and
bill of materials, labor,
plants, equipment and
services.
2.2 Hires construction
personnel and designates
duties and remunerations
thereof;
2.3 Negotiates and enters
into contract with
piecework contractors
and evaluates work
accomplished thereunder;
2.4 Procures materials, plants
and equipment, licenses
and permits;
are team activities. Many
individuals and/or firms come
together to do a project. They
collaborate to produce a design
and construction solution that
would be the best answer to the
requirement of the client. As the
project unfolds, there are
hundreds of design and
construction decisions and
commitments have to be made
and a good coordination is vital
aside from having a strong and
healthy relationship between
Client and Architect to keep the
project on track. The most
important element in a Design
and Construct project is the
relationship between the Design
and Construct team and the
Client. A spirit of partnership is
essential in the fast-paced
environment where the designer,
contractor, and owner work
hand-in-hand to complete the
project. A high level of
communication and trust is
required to address the
inevitable project issues that
arise. This is why a combined
method of services such as the
Design and Construct Services is
included as one of the services
of an Architect.
The Design and Construct
Services encourages the
b. The Architect is directly and professionally
responsible and liable for the management
and actual construction of the project.
However, since RA 9266 does not classify
construction as integral to the practice of
Architecture, the Architect must secure a
contractor’s license from DTI-CIAP-PCAB
(Department of Trade & Industry –
Construction Industry Authority of the
Philippines - Philippine Construction
Accreditation Board), to be renewed on an
annual basis.
ARTICLE IV. The Contract and the Scope of Work.
The Architect enters into Contract with the Owner
accepting full responsibility for both design and
construction or supervision but with a clearly
delineated and defined scope of work.
1. Architect undertakes the following stages of the
Regular Design Services: (Refer to Doc. 202
Regular Architect’s Services)
a. Schematic Design Phase
b. Design Development Phase
c. Contract Document Phase

2.5 Authorizes payments of
accounts;
2.6 Keeps records and books
of accounts;
2.7 negotiates with
government agencies
having jurisdiction over
the project; and
2.8 Manages all other
businesses of the
construction;
2.9 The above services are
performed with the
following conditions:
- All costs of labor and
materials are paid
directly by the Client.
The Architect does not
advance any money
for payment of
expenditures
connected with the
work.
- Although the Architect
may prepare a detailed
cost estimate of the
Project, the estimate
integration of knowledge,
creativity, experience, and
passion of the design and
construction professions from
the beginning to the end of a
project. Design and Construct
Services shall give the architect
the hands-on opportunity to
transforms the Architect’s design
into reality.
3. Application. It is more an option
of the Client to enter to this kind
of services. There are particular
cases where this type of service
is applicable, such as:
a. Projects involving
innovative or patented
designs or methodology
of construction in which
the Architect holds its
sole right of
implementation for the
protection of his design
or patent.
b. When the Client prefers
to utilize the combined
and synergized capability
of the Architect as
designer and as a builder
to come up with the
most creative solution
that could answer
Client’s criteria of
2. The scope of work during the Construction Phase
is no longer limited to regular coordination,
periodic inspection, and assessment as part of the
Regular Design Services. It now extends to
construction supervision and/or undertaking the
actual construction.
3. In order to protect his professional license, the
Architect will have to prepare separate contracts
for the design and the construction components.
Both contracts should provide an arbitration
clause and other alternative measures to resolve
possible disputes.
ARTICLE V. Project Cost
This includes the cost of labor and/or materials,
overhead costs, plus mark-up and profits, similar to
a regular construction bid price.
ARTICLE VI. Professional Fee.
Segregating professional fees instead of
consolidating them into a lump sum amount will be
advantageous to both the Architect and the Client

may be guaranteed
only on a range of Ten
Percent (10%) plus or
minus the stated
estimate.
- The Architect appoints,
subject to the Client’s
approval a
construction
superintendent, a
purchasing agent, a
timekeeper or keepers,
and a property clerk
aside from the usual
labor personnel
required. Salaries of
such persons re paid
by the Client and is not
deductible from the
Architect’s fee.
- Cost of all permits and
licenses incidential to
the work are paid by
the Client.
2.10 The fee of the Architect
for the Design-Build
Service by
Administration is Seven
Percent (7%) of the
function, structure and
beauty in the most
economical and fastest
way.
c. When the Client, having
been fully informed of
the nature and
implication of Design and
Construct Services for
Client’s project, places
his or her trust and
confidence on the
Architect, believing that
the Architect is the most
qualified to implement
the design in accordance
with the approved
concept.
d. When the Architect is
part of an entity
involved with the design
and construction of a
project.
Article II - General Roles of Architects
in the Design and Construct Services
1. The General Roles of Architects
in the Design and Construct
Services include:
a. The architect who
engages into the Design
and Construct Services
since it provides a clear basis for adjustment in case
of changes in the scope of work.
1. The Architect’s Fee for Regular Architect’s
services shall be in accordance with UAP Doc.
200 Architect’s Standards of Professional
Practice.
2. The Architect’s Fee for Construction Supervision,
either a lump sum or a percentage of the
construction cost, may be paid through different
modes of compensation.
3. When the Architect undertakes the actual
construction, he submits a proposal similar to a
contractor’s bid.
ARTICLE VII. Methods of Compensation for
Construction Supervision
1. Percentage of Construction Cost.
This is the simplest and most widely used
method of compensation because it is directly
proportionate to the size and cost of the project.
In case of changes, whether addition or
deductions, there is no need to amend or

Project Construction
Cost in addition to the
Architect’s Fee for the
Regular Design Services.
3. DESIGN-BUILD
SERVICE ON A
GUARANTEED
MAXIMUM COST
3.1 Basically the services
rendered by the Architect
is the same as that of the
Design-Build by
Administration.
3.2 This method essentially
consist of the Client being
given a guaranteed
maximum cost for the
construction of the
project.
3.3 The manner of payment
is by lump sum amount
scheduled to follow the
progress of the Project.
advance any amount to
buy materials or pay
labor. Instead, a
“revolving capital” is
shall assume the primary
responsibility for both
design and construction.
b. Depending on the
agreement between the
architect and the client,
the architect may offer
to construct the project,
either by administration
or by guaranteed
maximum cost or by
package agreement.
Article III - Recommended Procedures
in Engaging Design and Construct
Services
1. Educate the Client on existing
laws, statutory policies and
orders, and the Standards for
Professional Practice issued by
the United Architects of the
Philippines-Integrated and
Accredited Professional
Organization of Architects duly
approved by the PRC-Board of
Architecture - and, if possible,
discuss the contents with the
Client.
2. When invited by a client to
engage into a Design and
Construct Services, the Architect
must review the appropriateness
and the suitability of the project
supplement the Owner –Architect Agreement.
2. Direct Personal Expenses x Multiplier.
This method is based on technical hours spent on
a project but does not measure the value of
creative design. This may therefore be applied
only to construction supervision. The following
parameters have to be agreed upon at the start of
the project:
a. Rate/hr (R) – Rate per hour of the Architect,
Consultant, and Technical staff : RA, RC, RT
b. Man hours (H) – Number of hours spent by
the Architect, Consultants and Technical
staff : HA, HC, HT
c. Multiplier (M) - Factor which accounts for
overhead and profit. Depending on the
complexity of the project, experience of the
Architect and the office set-up, this may
range from 1.5 to 2.5.
d. Reimbursable Expenses (E) – Items to be
charged to the Client and reimbursed to the
Architect which include the following:

given at the start of the
construction.
3.4 If there is a savings on the
cost of the Project, it is
divided equally between
the Client and the
Architect.
3.5 If the guaranteed
maximum cost is
exceeded by not more
Ten Percent (10%), it is
divided equally between
the Client and the
Architect. However, if
the excess is more than
Ten Percent (10%) , the
Architect pays for all the
extra costs in excess of the
Ten Percent (10%).
3.6 The fee of the Architect
for the Design Build
Service on a Guaranteed
Maximum Cost is either
Ten Percent (10%) of the
Project Construction Cost
or is already built-in in
the Guaranteed
Maximum Cost. Said fee
for Design and Construct
services.
Article IV - Advantages of Design and
Construct Services Approach
1. When circumstances call for non-
traditional approaches to
construction – such as
accelerated schedules, unique
financing options or multiple
vested partners, or application
of innovative construction
system or technology, an
alternative delivery methods
such as Design and Construct
Services can be the answer.
Clients who want to reduce their
overall project delivery time,
ensure schedule and cost
parameters and control risk, or
who need an early cost
commitment, are turning to
Design and Construct Services
instead of the more traditional
design-bid-construct process.
2. Design and Construct Services
brings one entity versed in both
design and construction into the
process. The primary benefits of
Design and Construct are that it
allows compression of the
project schedule , guarantees
the construction cost at the
beginning of the proposed
i. Transportation, housing and living
allowance of Consultant;
ii. Transportation, per diem, housing and
living allowance of local consultants and
technical staff if assigned to place over
100 km from area of operation of
Architect;
iii. Cost of printing of extra sets of drawings,
reports, maps, contract documents, etc.,
over the five (5) sets submitted to the
Client;
iv. Overseas and long distance calls;
v. Technical and laboratory tests;
vi. Licenses, fees, taxes needed for the
project (other than contractor’s license)
vii. The Total Cost of Service charged to the
Client is as follows:
{(RHA + RHC + RHT) x M} + E
3. Professional Fee Plus Expenses.
This method is best used when there is a
continuous relationship involving a series of
projects. The fee is a fixed amount +
reimbursement for the Architect’s technical time
and overhead. An agreement on the general

is aside from the fee of
the Architect for Regular
Design Services.
project, since some clients
budget are limited and provides
the Client with a single point of
contact and responsibility.
3. Schedule reductions are
achieved by the overlapping of
design and construction phases.
A shorter schedule can translate
into lower costs, although
savings may also be realized by
having a single entity responsible
for early cost and value
coordination, competitive
pricing, keeping constant
oversight of cost factors and
eliminating the Client's cost of
maintaining staff to oversee the
operation.
4. The unified effort of a Design
and Construct Team can respond
to changing technological trends
with much greater flexibility.
With everyone working together
as a team, efficiency and
communication increase while
the potential for profligacy and
inefficiencies decrease.
are advantageous for high-tech
facilities with complex
construction requirements, as it
allows architects, engineers and
project managers to collaborate
throughout the entire project.
scope of work is necessary in order to set an
equitable fee.
4. Lump Sum or Fixed Fee.
In government projects, having a fixed fee
eliminates paper work and time consuming
processes required by the bureaucratic system
particularly in the processing and approval of
supplementary works by the auditing agency.
5. Per Diem plus Reimbursable Expense.
The Architect may be paid on a per diem basis
plus reimbursable expenses such as travel,
accommodation and living expenses when the
Client requests the Architect to do work such as:
a. Attending board meetings or conferences
b. Conducting ocular inspection for site
selection
c. Conferring with others regarding
prospective investments and similar
ventures
6. Mixed Methods of Compensation.
A combination of any of the methods may be

6. Time and experience have also
proven that Design and Construct
Services can be utilized for
projects both conventional and
complex.
7. Coordinating with other
participants in constructing a
building becomes very easy
because they are in one group,
thus making the communication
and coordination becomes faster
and efficient. The big plus in this
method is that the responsibility
becomes identifiable, there will
be no more finger pointing to
whom responsibility is this or
that. The client will not be put
to a maze to whom to relay the
concern.
Article V – Classification of Design and
Construct Services
by Administration. When the
project is constructed by
administration, the Architect
performs the following services:
a. Schematic Design Phase,
applied
ARTICLE VIII. Permits.
Permits and licenses (except the Contractor’s license)
are secured by the Architect but paid for by the
Client.
ARTICLE IX Conditions
1. Before entering into a Design-Build Service
Agreement, the Architect will have to acquire
additional training in construction supervision,
project and financial management and gain
practical knowledge and experience in
construction.
2. The Architect must inform and advice his Client
of the circumstances and implications of such an
agreement, and must disclose any relationship or
business interest which may affect the Project.

with a construction
implementer/firm
a. In many cases today,
clients entrust their
project’s concerns to a
singular entity due to
trust, specialization of
design/patent, economy
and convenience for the
client. This type of
service can be applied

when the architect has a
specific or non-
conventional
design/patent that only
allows the accredited
construction
implementer/s or firm/s
to do his special or non-
conventional
design/patent; or on
some cases a
construction
implementer/s or firm/s
using the special or non-
conventional design or
patent of an architect.
In both situations the
architect shall be
responsible for his/her
design and the
construction he/she
undertaken. The amount
of the agreement shall
include the architect’s
fee, among others.
In all situations, the
Architect performs the
professional standard
services and must be
compensated in
accordance with the
Architect’s Standards of
Professional Practice.
b. Basically the services
rendered by the

Architect are the same
as that of the Design and

under a Comprehensive
Package Agreement
a. Over-all coordination
from design to
construction will be
beneficial to the client
as well as to the project.
Most clients do not have
the expertise or time to
handle the day-to-day
decision making and
operation for the
efficient implementation
of the project. Clients
would scout for a
singular entity that could
handle all its concern for
the realization of his/her
project, thus the Design
and Construct Services
under a Comprehensive
Package Agreement is
very much fitting.
b. Similar to the reasons
and concerns of the
client under the Design
and Construct Service
with a construction
implementer/firm, the
clients awards the work,
from design to
construction, to the
Architect when the
client appreciates the

special or non-
conventional
design/patent of the
Architect. The amount of
the agreement shall
include the architect’s
fee, among others.
Article VI – Conditions
1. In order to protect the interest
of the Client as well as to
protect the integrity of the
Architect, conditions and
safeguards must be in place,
such as:
a. A well-documented
contract, clear and
complete, to avoid
misunderstanding or
misinterpretation of the
agreement.
b. The Client must be fully
informed and advised of
the circumstances and
implications of the
arrangement including
disclosures of
relationships or business
interest of the Architect
affecting the project.
c. Assurance of product
quality required of the

contract.
d. Employment of or
viability to the Client of
an independent party to
act as his/her technical
adviser or consultant.
Article VI – Methodology of
Compensation
1. The criteria for computing the
Architect’s compensation should
be based on mutual evaluation
of the amount of the
architectural firm’s talents,
skill, experience, imagination,
effort and time available for,
and required by the project.
2. The amount of payment depends
on the types and levels of
professional services provided.
More extensive services or a
more complex or experimental
project will require more effort
by the architect and add more
value to the project.
3. The recommended fee of the
Architect for the Design and
Administration is Five (5%)
percent of the total projected
cost in addition to the

professional fee for the Regular
Design Services. The
recommended fee of the
Architect for the Design and
Construct Services on a
guaranteed maximum cost,
with a construction
implementer/firm or Design and
Construct Services under a
comprehensive Package
Agreement is Seven (7%) of the
total project construction cost.
Said recommended fee is aside
from the professional fee of the
Architects on Regular Design
Services.
4. However, following methods on
compensation may be applied in
the process of Design and
Construct services:
a. Percentage of
Construction Cost. This
is a world-wide used
method of compensation
for proposal services.
The amount of the
percentage is related to
the size and the type of
the Project. This method
is fair to both the Client
and the Architect as the
fee is pegged to the cost
of the Project the Client
is willing to undertake. It

is similar to the
percentage fee concept
being charged by
realtors, developers and
lawyers. It is flexible and
easy to apply since if
there will be changes,
additions or deductions
of the work demanded
by the Project or
required by the Client,
the Owner-Architect
Agreement need not be
supplemented.
b. Multiple of Direct
Personnel Expenses.
This cost-based method
of compensation is
applicable only to non-
creative work such as
accounting, secretarial,
research, data
gathering, supervision,
preparation of reports
and the like. This
based on technical hour
expended does not
account for creative
work because the value
of creative design cannot
be measured by the
length of time the
designer has spent on his
work. This method may
therefore be applied

only on Pre-Design
Services, Supervision
Work and other works
which the Architect may
perform other than the
Regular and Specialized
Allied Design Services.
The computation is made
by adding all costs of
technical services (man
hours x rate) and
multiply it by a
multiplier to take care
of overhead and profit.
The multiplier ranges
from 1.5 or 2.5
depending on the office
set-up, overhead and
experience of the
Architect and the
complexity of the
Project. Other items
such as cost of
transportation, living
and housing allowances
of foreign consultants,
out-of-town living and
housing allowances of
local consultants, and
the like are to be
charged to the Client
and reimbursed to the
Architect. At the start of
the commission, the
Architect shall make
known to the Client the
rate of professionals and

personnel who will be
assigned to the Project
and the multiplier that
has to be applied before
agreeing to this method
of computation.
