etc.
2.3
Feasibility Studies
Detailed analysis of the project based on pre-feasibility
studies will determine the viability of a proposed development. The studies
will set the project against present and future trends to forecast how it will
perform over time. This requires primary data gathering and analysis.

Architectural Research
Architectural research entails the conduct of primary and
secondary researches and assembled facts used as basis for conclusion.
2.7
Architectural Programming
This analytical problem-seeking process will lead to the
statement and identification of both horizontal and vertical requirements in
offering a solution. It incorporates a space program with characterizations
of the envisioned spaces such as ambiance, cost range, etc.
2.8
Space Planning
The Architect determines the adequate size and appropriate
configuration and assemblage for a proposed project in consideration of
the use, allocation and interface of spaces for given activities. Space
planning is done mainly through primary data gathering such as
interviews, consultations, interfaces, focus group discussions (FGDs),
space planning surveys, space audits, etc. and subsequent analyses i.e.
spatial layouts with stacking concepts, particularly for multi-storey
structures.

2.11
2.12
Promotional Services
Projects may require promotional activities in order to
develop and generate financial support and acceptance from governing
agencies or from the general public. In such cases, the Architect can act
as the agent of the Owner by producing and coordinating the additional
activities necessary to complete the services. In all such activities, the
Architect must maintain his professional status as the representative of the
Owner.

not be supplemented.
3.2 Multiple of Direct Personnel Expenses
This cost-based method of compensation is applicable only
to noncreative work such as accounting, secretarial,
research, data gathering,
supervision,
preparation
of
reports and the like.
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 2 or 2.5 depending on the office
set-up, overhead and experience of the Architect and the
complexity of the Project.
This method of
compensation,
frequently
used where there
is a continuing relationship
on a series of projects. It establishes a fixed sum over and
above reimbursement for the Architects technical time and
overhead. An agreement on the general scope of the work is
necessary in order to set an equitable fee.
3.4 Lump Sum or Fixed Fee
Some governmental agencies sometimes request a form of
contract which establishes a fixed sum for architectural and
engineering services.
This concept of compensation is more than not,
disadvantageous to both the Client and the Architect. Firstly,
it represents a risk situation to the Architect, since his costs
may exceed the agreed amount.
3.5 Per Diem Plus Reimbursable Expense
In some cases a Client may request an Architect to do work
which will require his personal time such as: a. Attend Board
Meetings or Conferences b. Ocular inspection of possible
sites c. Confer with others regarding prospective
investments or ventures and the like For these particular
activities, the Architect may be paid on a per diem basis plus
out-ofpocket expenses such as travel, accommodations and
subsistence, long-distance telephone calls, secretarial
service, etc.
3.6 Mixed Methods of Compensation
The UAP Documents provide for more than one method of
compensation on a Project. Each Project should be
examined to determine the most appropriate method of
establishing an equitable method of compensation between
the Architect and the Owner. There is no reason that an
assortment of compensation methods should not be used if
