KNOW THE FORM

摘要

In june, the RIBA launched its Appointment Agreements 2010. But what makes this set of standard conditions for appointing an architect better than the previous (2007) ones?rnTo start with, the new form is clearer and easier to use. The wording of the 2010 forms has got rid of the NEC-style use of the present tense, the clauses are shorter and the numbering is more frequent. And because the new form also incorporates Construction Act provisions into the main body of the text, rather than having them as a schedule, it is easier to follow than its predecessor.
