The document is structured for use where the architect acts as principal agent on small and medium sized projects, viz residential or low and medium complexity projects. It can be used where the duties of principal agent are fulfilled by others. However, when project managers and larger consulting teams are involved, it is advised that the PROCSA ® suite of agreements be used.
