Any architectural work is usually based around the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Outline Plan of Work. This was created in order to organise the process of managing the design of building projects and administering building contracts into a number of work ‘stages’. Any services and fees would be usually based on these stages and are outlined in more detail below.
