Introduction
3.2. Comparative Selection may be conducted by committees representing
institutions, corporations or public agencies. The selection process involves:
3.2.1. Invitation. The Client issues an invitation which includes the Terms of
Reference (ToR) for the project which is based on the Design Brief prepared by
another Architect. The selection committee established by the Client may consist of
representatives from other State -regulated professions and /or the construction
industry, as well as persons with related expertise.
3.2.2. Pre-qualification. Architects and /or PRC -registered Architectural Firms

(AFs) submit information regarding their qualification and expertise.
3.2.3. Interview. The Architect explains his methodology in translating the

plan /design requirements of the proposed project.
3.2.4. Verif ication. The selection committee may visit buildings designed by the
Architects and check references such as former clients and financial institutions.
Introduction
3.2.5. Evaluation & Ranking. The selection committee may adopt its own procedure
in evaluating the entries and recommending the most capable firm.

the Architect’s Fee as prescribed under the Architect’s Guidelines.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN COMPETITION
3.3. An Architectural Design Competition (ADC) is
used for civic or monumental projects. The competition
may either be an idea competit ion, design or design
build competition. Various Architect s or architect ural
f irms (AFs) submit plan /design solutions to a par ticular
design problem and are judged on the basis of
comparat ive excellence.

a. Oppor tunit ies will be open only to all PRC -registered

and licensed Architec ts (RLAs) or PRC -registered
Architectural Firms (AFs).
b. The Client / Committee will have a wider range of

options.
3.3.2. Disadvantag es
a. Process may be expensive and time -consuming
b. The time and ef for t required may discourage qualif ied

f irms from par ticipat ing.
c. Some potentially unscrupulous prospective Clients will

seek free ser vices under the guise of design
competit ion.
Architect s must always be constantly aware that

ownership and copyright issues under Secs. 20 (4) and
33 of R.A. No. 9266 must be fully addressed under all
architect ural competition rules. .
3.3.3 . Procedure. Competit ions should be conducted:
a. With the assistance of the integrated and accredited

professional organization of architec ts (IAPOA) or one of
its local chapters, and
b. In accordance with the Architec t ’s Guidelines.
3.3.4. Par ticipants
a. Sponsor or Client – a natural or juridical person;
b. Competitors – Filipino / Philippine -Registered and

Licensed Architects (RLA) and IAPOA members in good
standing.
A foreign architect as a competitor must be registered in

his /her countr y of origin and must secure a Temporar y
Special Permit (TSP) from the Commission (PRC), a work
permit form the Depar tm ent of Labor and Employment
(DoLE) and must work in collaboration with a
local /Filipino counterpar t RLA who will assume the
requisite professional responsibilities and civil liabilit ies,
in the case of a design or design -build competition;
c. Professi onal Adviser – Philippine -Regist ered and

PRE-DESIGN
SERVICES
By: Ar. Rojayne Q. Sibayan, MSc. Ar.

When a Client calls upon the Architect to give oral or
written advice and direction, to attend conferences,
to make evaluations and appraisals regarding a
contemplated project and similar activities, the Architect
renders valuable inputs whether or not the Client
pursues the project.
2.1. CONSULTATION
These preliminary studies involve the procurement,
analysis and use of secondary information gathered
for the project to aid the Client in early decision-
making.
They represent the Architect’s initial assessment of a

project’s soundness, allowing the Client to promptly
explore available/ readily identifiable directions / options.
Researched / processed / validated secondary data are
generally used for such studies e.g. electronic, print, etc.
2.2. PRE FEASIBILITY STUDY
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.
2.3. FEASIBILITY STUDY
This entails the formulation of site criteria, assistance to
the Client in site evaluation as well as analysis to
determine the most appropriate site/s for a proposed
project or building program.
2.4. SITE SELECTION AND ANALYSIS
The detailed analysis of the site involves the
identification of a site’s development potentials through
the proper utilization of land.
The analysis covers the context of the site as well as that

of its surrounding environment and the development
controls that apply to the site and its environs
2.5. SITE UTILIZATION and LAND USE
Architectural research entails the conduct of primary and
secondary researches and assembled facts used as basis
for conclusion.
2.6. ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH
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.
2.7. ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING
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.
2.8. SPACE PLANNING
An analysis of the space requirements of the project
based on organizational structure and functional set-up
pinpoints linkages and interaction of spaces. The
formulation of the space program will serve as the basis
for the development of the architectural plan / design.
2.9. SPACE MANAGEMENT STUDIES
This technique is applied in the cost management
process to minimize the negative effect of simplified
operations associated with many cost-reduction
programs. The goal of value management is to achieve
an unimpaired program at minimum cost. Thus, a plan,
design or system that has been successfully value-
managed will still satisfy the same performance criteria
as the costlier alternatives
2.10. VALUE MANAGEMENT
Under design brief preparation, the Architect states the
project terms of reference (ToR) including the concept,
objectives and other necessary requirements to bid out
architectural services (whether public or private).
2.11. DESIGN BRIEF PREPARATION
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.
2.12. PROMOTIONAL SERVICE
3.1 After the initial meeting/conversation /
correspondence with the Client, the Architect must
submit his proposal for pre-design services, stating the
following:
3.1.1 Scope of Work

3.1.2 Manner of Payment
3.1.3 Owner’s Responsibilities
3.1.4 Other Conditions of Services
conversation/correspondence
3. MANNER OF PROVIDING SERVICES
The Architect can render services in any of the following ways:
3.2.1 As an individual Architect he must have special training and be

knowledgeable in different fields to supplement his skills.
3.2.2 Architect’s Own Staff It is possible for Architects (as natural persons)
working in a single firm to specialize in a variety of ways. Many Architects and
firms (juridical persons) specialize without losing the generalist approach of the
Architect or firm.
3.2.3 By Association, Consultation or Networking Another common practice is

consultation between an Architect and a firm of other disciplines, under the
extended terms of the Owner-Architect Agreement.
