The RIBA, in conjunction with RIBA Publishing, are currently working on a new suite of RIBA Forms of Appointment - currently scheduled for March 2007 - to reflect current working practices, legislative changes and to become more widely applicable to the construction industry.

The Guide offers important straightforward and up-to-date advice about the application of the standard forms and supplements. The section that explains all methods of calculating and managing fees and expenses is supported by worked examples.

The focus is primarily on the 2004 version of the Standard Form of Agreement for the appointment of an Architect (SFA/99), giving in-depth explanations of the architect’s role and responsibilities, again supported by worked examples. It also covers the other eight standard forms in the and the new Access Management Services Supplement).

This book is a handy desktop reference for all British architects and is an essential guide to the RIBA standard forms of appointment.
