Guide to Using the RIBA Plan of Work 2013
• clients can be certain that they have made sufficient allowances for fees, with the
design team confident that their fee relates to the resources required to deliver the
detailed Schedule of Services
• clients can proceed with confidence that the means of engaging the design
team and contractor have been fully considered, and
• every party is clear about their responsibilities and the information that they will
deliver at each stage.
Regardless of how the initial chemistry was created, assembling a project team
requires clarification of who will do what, and when and how they will do it. Figure
3.1 illustrates how the documents referred to in the RIBA Plan of Work 2013 relate
to professional services contracts and Building Contracts.

The documents detailed in Figure 3.1 are referred to in the RIBA Plan of Work
2013. They have been conceived as a ‘kit of parts’ that allows the Who, What,
When and How aspects to be considered and addressed as part of assembling
the project team. More importantly, they have been compiled in a manner that
allows them to be used and integrated with any professional services contracts
and Building Contracts. These documents can be derived from different sources;
however, Assembling a Collaborative Project Team considers the process for
preparing them and provides a template for each document. A project manager or
architectural practice may wish to use their own in-house documents or combine
templates from other sources with some of the tools set out in Assembling a
Collaborative Project Team. The important consideration is to address the subject
matter before Stage 2 commences.
