Document background
Architectural Proposals are essential documents used in the Irish construction and property development sector to establish the professional relationship between architects and their clients. This document is typically used at the initiation phase of a construction or renovation project, before detailed design work begins. The proposal outlines the architect's understanding of the project requirements, proposed methodology, timeline, and fee structure. It must comply with Irish building regulations, planning laws, and RIAI guidelines. Architectural Proposals serve as the foundation for the formal engagement of architectural services and often form part of the larger contract documentation. They are particularly important for ensuring clarity of scope, managing expectations, and establishing professional obligations while maintaining compliance with Irish legal requirements and industry standards.
