The Acumen Content Review Panel is facilitating the collection of members’ feedback to inform the Institute’s review of the 2009 Client and Architect Agreement (CAA2009) which has been scheduled for mid-2015.

The CAA2009 is the Institute’s standard-form client agreement, for projects of all sizes and complexity that sets out the contractual obligations and entitlements of the parties for the engagement of the architect.

We seek comments, issues and advice on your general experiences, both positive and negative, with the current CAA2009 that may be considered in the 2015 review.

For example:

• The effectiveness of Section G3 Electronic Data Transfer – should a note on DWG drawing transfers be added?
• Your experiences in trying to limit liability under clause H2.
• Has the cost of works emphasis helped or hindered?
• Is the list of core services a help or hindrance?
• Are schedules easy to complete and explain to clients?

 

Please email any feedback to acumen.advice@architecture.com.au by Friday 8 May 2015, 5.00pm

We urge you to get in touch as your feedback is important.
