ASLA Offers Special Introductory Price for Electronic “Standard Form Contract”

Good contractual arrangements for professional services between the landscape architect and the client is an essential component of sound professional practice.

A clear and complete contract for professional services provides a mutual understanding of expectations for scope, deliverables and payment for services

ASLA Standard Form Contracts are a business tool developed specifically to meet the needs of the profession by incorporating up-to-date critical elements of instruments of service, reasonably tailored for landscape architecture professionals and the clients they serve.

ASLA has created a standard contracts package, which contains two standard contract forms and brief guidelines describing the contracts’ basic provisions and the attendant risks of particular clauses. Although professional liability insurers and experienced legal counsel have reviewed the package, ASLA still recommends that landscape architects seek legal and insurance review for specifics of their location and services.

The two contracts and corresponding guidelines are sold as an electronic package and licensed annually on a graduated fee, based on the purchasing firm’s size. During 2008, ASLA is offering a special introductory price on the ASLA contracts package. Individuals purchasing the contracts package will save $50 off the regular member and nonmember pricing structure.
