The specific Services that the Architect/Consultant will carry out at each stage of the Project are listed below. The Services will be undertaken in accordance with the stages defined in the RIBA Plan of Work.

The Services relate to a straightforward project procured in the traditional manner and cover Stages 0 to 6. Services required as part of any ongoing (long-term) Stage 7 activities are not listed as these services will be commissioned as a separate professional services or operating contract.

This Schedule of Services excludes the role of Principal Designer as set out in the CDM Regulations 2015. The RIBA recommends that the default choice for the Principal Designer should be the Architect/Consultant, who should be appointed under a separate and distinct professional services contract (i.e. RIBA Principal Designer Professional Services Contract).

Stage 0 — Strategic Definition

It is anticipated that services required as part of any Stage 0 — Strategic Definition activities will be commissioned on a time-based charge or as a separate professional services contract. However, any minor roles and services may be added if required.
