This contract is a flexible agreement where the parties attach architect's scope of service and can be used on any size project. We'll be focusing on the owner architect agreement and we'll refer to some other documents that may be helpful as resources as you complete those forms.As a starting point, you want to make sure that all your design contractual terms are fair, reasonable, insurable, and most importantly legal. No one specific length is best for design and construction contracts. Project participants do, however, want to avoid overly short contracts with "gray" areas.
