When To Use
Use C401™ when an architect needs to hire a consultant to perform services in support of the architect's prime agreement with the owner. This document is suitable for use with all types of consultants, including consulting architects, and works for a variety of payment methods.
What It Does
C401 establishes the architect-consultant relationship, outlining each party's scope, compensation, and professional obligations for consulting services. It flows down the relevant provisions of the owner-architect agreement to the consultant, creating a consistent chain of responsibility.
