​

Owner-Consultant Agreement:

For use when the Owner has retained a Prime Architect, and wants Scharfenaker Urban Architecture to represent the Owner’s interest in organizing and managing a project, or desires specific limited consulting services. This is useful for US or foreign projects, where documents must be prepared by a local Architect having legal jurisdiction.

​

Architect-Consultant Agreement:

For use when Scharfenaker Urban Architecture consults directly to a Prime Architect retained separately by an Owner.  This is useful for US or foreign projects, where documents must be prepared by a local Architect having legal jurisdiction.
