The RIBA Concise Professional Services Contract 2020: Conservation Architectural Services is suitable where the Architect/Consultant undertakes a commission for conservation architectural services for simple, non-complex, commercial  projects of any value, in which the building works will be carried out using standard forms of building contract, such as the RIBA Concise Building Contract, the JCT Minor Works Building Contract or the JCT Intermediate Building Contract.

The RIBA Concise Professional Services Contract 2020: Conservation Architectural Services is suitable for commissions procured on the basis of a traditional form of building contract where tendering occurs at the end of Stage 4 of the RIBA Plan of Work (Technical Design).

The RIBA Concise Professional Services Contract 2020: Conservation Architectural Services is devised as an agreement between an Architect/Consultant and a business client or a public authority and is a ‘construction contract’ to which the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration
Act 1996 (HGCRA, also known as the Construction Act) applies. Business clients include charities, religious organisations and not-for-profit bodies.

The RIBA Concise Professional Services Contract 2020: Conservation Architectural Services is not suitable for non-commercial work undertaken for a ‘consumer’ client, such as work done to the client’s home, including renovations, extensions, maintenance and new buildings, if the client has
elected to contract in their own name, i.e. not as a limited company or other legal entity, or where the property will be let. A contract with a consumer client is subject to the Consumer
Rights Act 2015. The RIBA recommends the use of the RIBA Domestic Professional Services Contract 2020: Conservation Architectural Services for work undertaken for a consumer client.

Conservation Accreditation Schemes

Working with older and historic buildings, traditional (pre-1919) buildings and designated buildings, such as Listed Buildings, calls for a particular set of skills and expertise. To gain conservation accreditation, professionals have to submit evidence of their knowledge, skills and experience. Registers of accredited professionals can be used to find professionals with the prerequisite skills.

Some grant funders, including Department for Communities Northern Ireland, Historic Environment Service (Cadw), Historic England and Historic Environment Scotland, require the use of accredited professionals, so it is important to check the funding requirements for the project.

Further details on the conservation accreditation and certification schemes that exist for the range of professionals, and on when using conservation accredited professionals is required by grant funders, can be found at www.historicengland.co.uk.
