It is specifically designed to comply with Hong Kong's regulatory framework, including the Architects Registration Ordinance and Buildings Ordinance. This agreement is typically used when a property developer, organization, or individual requires professional architectural services for design, planning, and supervision of construction projects. The document covers crucial aspects such as scope of services, professional fees, project timelines, compliance with local building codes, and professional liability requirements. It includes specific provisions required by Hong Kong law and incorporates standard practices recognized by the Hong Kong Institute of Architects. The agreement is particularly important for ensuring clear definition of responsibilities and protecting both parties' interests while maintaining professional standards in architectural practice.
