A/E’s Services Clause Samples
The "A/E’s Services" clause defines the scope and nature of the services that the architect or engineer (A/E) is required to provide under the contract. It typically outlines specific tasks such as design development, construction documentation, and project administration, and may detail deliverables, timelines, and standards to be met. By clearly delineating the A/E’s responsibilities, this clause ensures both parties have a mutual understanding of expectations, thereby reducing the risk of disputes and ensuring the project proceeds smoothly.
