As the architecture profession and the OAA awaits more detail around the regulations and the coming-into-force date, members are advised to proactively become familiar with the amendments as they affect both construction contracts and architectural services contracts.

The OAA Practice Tip PT.10 series will be updated once the legislation is proclaimed. The OAA 2021 contract suite will also require updating.

This article originally appeared in an issue of Practice Advisory—a newsletter developed by the OAA’s Practice Advisory Services team, which offers numerous resources for both members and the public.

The OAA does not provide legal, insurance, or accounting advice. Readers are advised to consult their own legal, accounting, or insurance representatives to obtain suitable professional advice in those regards.
