Contract for design work with an individual. Contract agreement for the development of design and working documentation

If the need arises for construction, design issues occupy a central place. Who, how and when, how well will cope with the design task - all this determines the overall success of the entire enterprise. In this case, a design contract is used to formalize the relationship between the customer and the contractor. An agreement for design work can be drawn up either on the basis of a downloaded sample from the Internet, or prepared with the help of lawyers who will prepare a draft agreement for a fee as part of the provision of legal services. A design contract must reflect the specifics of the relationship between the parties, and have a clearly defined subject matter of the contract, as well as define the mutual rights and obligations of the parties. Conditions on the subject must determine the specific scope of work, as well as their name and deadlines. To minimize the risk of disputes, these terms should be described as completely and punctually as possible. Often design includes several stages determined by the specifics of the object being designed. The staged nature of the work should also be reflected in the text of the contract and in the appendix. The permitting documentation (a copy thereof) allowing the contractor to carry out the design should also be attached to the document. In addition, in the text of the agreement itself, attention should be paid to such aspects as who prepares the design task, whether the customer has the right to disclose the results design work, dispose of them at their own discretion, or will be required to coordinate all this with the contractor. All these aspects will not be easy to take into account if a sample contract for design work is downloaded from the Internet, and will only partially fit the existing relationship.

Contract agreement for design work

When concluding a contract for design work, care should be taken special attention the person who will carry out the design. The fact is that since the design of, for example, a residential building will differ from the design of a real estate property for industrial purposes, it is necessary to check whether the designer has the necessary powers and whether he has licenses. Contract for design work with an individual can be concluded if it is involved on the part of the customer, i.e. does not carry out design work itself, but will implement the results of this activity, for example, during the construction of a country residential building according to the project.

One of the stages capital construction is architectural and construction design. This activity includes the development of design estimates and preparation of surveys (materials). In fact, there is a study natural conditions district, site, route, water supply sources, economic expediency etc. The legal regulation of such activities is a contract for the performance of design and survey work. It must be said that usually the development of technical documentation is entrusted to a special design organization, because this requires certain knowledge and skills.

The contract for design and survey work is bilateral (mutual), consensual and paid. This is a type of contract under which one party (this may be a contractor, designer, surveyor) undertakes, on the instructions of the customer (the second party), to develop technical documentation and carry out survey work, and the customer undertakes to accept and pay for the results.

Any person who needs the results of design and survey work can act as a customer under a work contract. However, the customer can also be the contractor under a construction contract in cases where the responsibility for developing the appropriate technical documentation lies with him, and he does not have the opportunity to perform such work on his own.

The contract for design and survey work is concluded in simple written form. An agreement can be concluded for the implementation of both the entire complex of design and survey work, as well as their individual stages, parts, sections (for example, development of estimates, survey work, preparation of technical documentation, etc.).

Carrying out design and survey work requires certain creative efforts and skills. The subject of the agreement is:

• carrying out design and survey work as a result of which the customer is presented with a conclusion on the conditions of future construction;
• design documentation establishing the scope and content of work to be performed during construction;
• an estimate representing the monetary value of the specified work.

Technical documentation is a set of documents (feasibility study, drawings, diagrams, explanatory notes to them, specifications, etc.), defining the volume and content construction work, as well as other requirements for them. Depending on the complexity of the object, design can be carried out in one or two stages. If the object is not very complex or is being built according to a serial design, a working design with a summary estimate is prepared. When constructing more complex objects, first prepare technical project with a summary calculation of the cost of construction, and then, based on it, a working project with a specific estimate is developed. Technical documentation is transferred in finished form, suitable for its further use. The transfer is carried out according to the acceptance certificate. The Contractor undertakes not to transfer copies of technical documentation to third parties without obtaining appropriate permission from the customer.

Only entities that have a special license to perform such work can assume the responsibilities of a designer. As with construction contracts, the general contracting system is widely practiced, in which the general designer is involved in the execution individual species design and survey work by specialized design organizations.

Price is a mandatory condition of the contract and is determined based on the results of the tender or by agreement of the parties, who also have the right to include in the contract provisions on the terms of payment and the amount of premiums for early delivery of documentation, to provide for circumstances in the presence of which the contract price can be changed (the customer makes changes to the assignment for design and other initial data, changes in legislation, tariffs, inflation, etc.). The procedure for payment for completed design and survey work is also determined by the terms of the competition or agreement of the parties and is established in the contract. The basis for calculations is the set of documentation received by the customer or general designer under the acceptance certificate for the object as a whole or its stage. Payment can also be made monthly based on certificates for the amount of work actually completed, if the contract does not provide for advance payment. The price of a contract for design and (or) survey work often takes the form of an estimate containing an itemized list of the contractor’s costs for performing the work.

An essential condition of the contract for the performance of design and (or) survey work is the condition on the start date and completion date of the work. The term in this case means either a point in time or a period of time, with the onset (for a point in time) or expiration (for a period of time) of which the onset of legal consequences is associated. Calculation of deadlines is carried out by any possible way: indicating a calendar date, event, people’s actions, expiration of a certain time, etc. The customer is also obliged, unless otherwise provided by the contract for design and survey work:

• use technical documentation only for the purposes specified in the work contract, do not transfer it to third parties and do not disclose the data contained in it without the consent of the contractor;
• provide assistance to the contractor in carrying out design and survey work to the extent and on the terms stipulated in the contract;
• participate together with the contractor in the coordination of finished technical documentation with the relevant government bodies and local governments;
• reimburse the contractor additional expenses caused by a change in the initial data for performing work under a contract due to circumstances beyond the control of the contractor;
• involve the contractor in the case of a claim brought against the customer by a third party in connection with deficiencies in the technical documentation drawn up or the survey work performed.

As for the responsibilities of both parties, the contractor is obliged to carry out design and survey work in strict accordance with the assignment, and the customer is obliged to accept the technical documentation developed by the contractor and pay for it.

Termination of a contract for design and survey work is possible on the initiative of either party in the event systematic violation the counterparty of contractual obligations with compensation by the guilty party to the other party for losses incurred in connection with the termination of the contract. The basis for termination of this agreement is the recognition of the customer in in the prescribed manner bankrupt.
