Stage 7 > In Use
7.5.3
Appointment
7.5.3.1
Agree the terms of the appointment and how fees will be paid.
There are potential benefits to maintaining an ongoing relationship with
the client and this should be considered in negotiating services for Stage
7 work. Such a relationship might well lead to further work in future,
either in refurbishment or alteration of the building in question or for
other building projects. This opportunity should not be overlooked.
7.5.4
Client
7.5.4.1
Due to this being a relatively new aspect of work for the architect and
the project team it is likely that you will need to assess and carefully
explain to the client what the potential benefits are in terms of cost in use
of the building and how the BIM model can be used to optimise this. As
noted above, developing an ongoing relationship with the client or, if a
different person or body, the building occupier will be of benefit and it is
worthwhile encouraging take-up of these activities.
7.5.5
Project team
7.5.5.1
It may well be necessary to form collaborations with building
services consultants or others to provide a comprehensive
service for Stage 7. You should engage in discussions with
appropriate companies to allow you to offer multidisciplinary
services where necessary.
7.5.6
General matters
7.5.6.1
Consider the activities required to undertake this work carefully
and agree the scope of work with the client, who may be the
building occupier, the owner, or a contractor to whom you are
providing consultancy services.
7.5.6.2
Conclude activities listed in the Handover Strategy.
