Architects are a critical component of successful projects, lending their creative solutions, technical skills and strategic insight to deliver innovative designs and assist clients as they make decisions, oversee the execution of projects and realize their desired outcomes. They are committed to quality and sustainability, bring a unique perspective and professional insights to every project, and conduct their work in a manner that supports a better built environment. Architectures must be maintained in confidence and conducted with fairness and integrity at all times. Throughout the project, architects are expected to meet agreed-upon milestones, deliver designs that have been reviewed and approved (as necessary) by the client, and maintain good communication with the client in order to seek and obtain timely decisions. They will conduct their work in accordance with all laws, codes, regulations and standards of the jurisdictions in which the work is performed, and never engage in, or appear to engage in, any conflict of interest. Documentation and representation of their work will be accurate.

The client's fundamental obligation is to pay the architect the agreed price, regardless of the project's outcome. The architect may stop providing services if payments are not made. If uncertain about the merits of a project's outcome to be used for establishing a variable compensation, the client may want to explore a compensation arrangement based on the architect's efforts

Thailand imposes numerous laws and regulations governing architectural activities to regulate the conduct and rights of architects and clients. The principal legislation that pertain to architectural engagements is the Thai Architect Act B.E. 2543 (2000) which sets forth the rules for architect registration, practice, and professional conduct. Depending on their service, architects may also need to abide by industry-specific regulations or licensing requirements.

Certain businesses or architectural agreements in Thailand may be subject to reporting or registration with the government. Architectural firms, for example, need to register with the Architects Council of Thailand and possible other agencies in Thailand. It is important to know these registration requirements and make sure that these are complied with in order to avoid problems or penalties.

All foreign architects doing any work in Thailand must have the proper work permits and visas in place if they are found to be doing anything beyond having a meeting, visiting a site or giving a lecture as part of their work. The immigration laws and procedures are complex, and any firm with foreign architects working on projects in Thailand should recognize this.

Whether your architectural engagement is a one-time project or will lead to a more lasting architectural partnership, our Architect Agreement Template ensures that you start off on the right foot by organizing the scope of services, compensation structures, terms and agreement duration. Every detail is covered upfront in one comprehensive agreement – no more piecing together multiple documents other online resources offer.
With clarity and structure on all aspects of the architectural engagement in our contract, our clear and concise clauses mean you can enter the practice with confidence, knowing that every critical detail has been carefully considered and documented.

In our Architect Contract Template Thailand, we have taken every step to ensure that your interests are protected. Our template includes robust language to protect you and limit your liability in various ways. For instance, confidentiality provisions help you keep any sensitive information you disclose private which is important if one of the services you offer as an architect is creating proprietary designs for a client. You also retain ownership of any work product, including design drawings or plans, until your client pays your final invoices. At that point, you’ll want to make sure you are free to use those materials in case the same client ever comes back to you (or a different client has similar tastes)! Provisions also help you limit what activities your clients can engage in while they are working with you so that they don’t immediately start a competing business. With these protective measures in our template, you can trust that we have your best interests in mind!

Our Architect Agreement Template is highly customizable, allowing you to tailor it to the specific needs of your activities. For instance, if you're providing residential designs, you may need to add or remove certain information for a commercial project. Our product enables you to quickly set up a booth at an upcoming trade show.
Customizing the template is crucial to ensure that the agreement accurately describes the scope of services, deliverables, and expectations for professional and contractual conduct during the course of an Architect Agreement. This fosters a collaborative and transparent relationship with clients, helping to avoid misunderstandings that can disrupt collaboration.

It's critical for any architectural business to operate within the confines of Thailand's legal framework. Our template is therefore carefully constructed to be fully in compliance with Thai legal principles and the Thailand's Architect Act B.E. 2543 (2000) in particular. The Architect Act establishes the laws and regulations that control the registration and practice of architects, and governs the professional conduct of those in the field in Thailand. Only by meeting these requirements can your architectural agreements in Thailand be considered properly drafted. By doing so you can reduce the potential for liability and ensure that every aspect of your architectural engagements is conducted with the professionalism and integrity expected of your collaboration.
