Schedule L - Revision Requests.
L1. The Client may request revisions to the services provided under this contract as stated within their approved quotation.
L2. The Architecture North Ltd agrees to review and respond to the client's revision requests within 5 to 10 business days.
L3. This timeframe allows the Architecture North Ltd to thoroughly review the revision request, evaluate the feasibility of the changes, and provide an estimate of the additional time and cost required to implement the requested changes.
L4. The Architecture North Ltd shall undertake batch revisions which refer to a set of revisions as a collective, rather than a single change within each meeting.
L5. Revisions within architecture, interior, and landscape designs are a professional standard industry.
L6. Revision requests are essential within the Architecture North Ltd's design scope of service as they allow the client to have their input into the design process, ensuring that their needs, preferences, and goals are reflected in the final design.
L7. Revision requests can range from minor adjustments to major changes within the project scope, depending on the nature of the project and the client's needs and preferences.
L8. The scope and complexity of project revision requests can vary greatly depending on the project, the client's needs and preferences, and the stage of the design process.
L9. Architecture North Ltd acknowledges and accommodates within the client-approved quotation, the possibility of clients having both minor and major revision requests throughout the RIBA Work Stage 2 design process.
L10. Any revisions that fall outside of the approved scope of services or allocated revision requests will be subject to additional charges and will require a change order.
L11. The parties acknowledge that the field of architecture often involves an iterative design process, wherein ideas are systematically refined and developed through multiple stages. This iterative approach fosters flexibility, adaptability, and continuous improvement throughout the project.
L12. The term "Iterative Design Process" herein refers to a structured methodology whereby the design undergoes a series of repetitive cycles or iterations. In this process, the design is subject to refinement, modification, and enhancement based on feedback, evaluation, and testing. Each iteration builds upon the preceding one, incorporating new insights and enhancements to progressively evolve the design.
L13. The iterative design process typically encompasses the following steps:
L13.1. Initial design goals, objectives, and requirements are established, along with the definition of the initial concept or idea.
L13.2. The initial design is created, considering the established goals and requirements. This design is presented for evaluation and feedback.
L13.3. The design undergoes evaluation, which may include user testing, expert reviews, or client feedback. Strengths and weaknesses are identified.
L13.4. Based on the evaluation, the design is refined, modified, and enhanced to address identified issues and improve overall quality.
L13.5. The refined design is subjected to testing to assess its effectiveness, usability, and functionality. Feedback from testing is collected and analysed.
L13.6. The iterative process continues with subsequent iterations, involving ongoing evaluation, refinement, and testing. Each iteration brings the design closer to its desired outcome.
L14. The iterative design process is embraced for its inherent flexibility and adaptability, allowing for continuous learning and adjustment. It encourages collaboration, constant enhancement, and responsiveness to evolving project requirements.
L15. The parties recognise that revisions are integral to the iterative design approach. As the design advances through each iteration, revisions are made to refine and enhance it based on feedback, evaluation, and testing. These revisions encompass modifications to design elements, adjustments to functionality, or enhancements to address identified issues and evolving project needs. Revisions are made iteratively to progressively shape and refine the design in pursuit of the desired project goals.

Minor Revision Requests May include, but are not limited to:
L16. Adjusting the proposed placement of walls, doors, windows, and furniture or changing the proposed design scheme of a room.
L17. These changes may be relatively quick and easy to implement, and may not significantly impact the project timeline.

Major Revision Requests May include, but are not limited to:
L18. Adding or removing entire rooms as per the agreed contractual agreement scope of works, through to the reconfiguring of the layout of a full interior or a landscape design proposal.
L19. These revisions may require more time and resources to implement and may have a significant impact on the project timeline.

Revision Request Terms:
L20. Revision requests are provided as part of your approved scope of services only within RIBA Work Stage 2 as stated within clause 9.3 (b).
L21. The Architecture North Ltd can undertake revision requests within any RIBA Work Stage, but this will incur additional charges to your approved quotation.
L22. Within your recorded design meetings, you may ask for revisions requests, where if they are minor, we may be able to undertake your request within the meeting, where we will make your amendments in front of you.
L22.1. We will undertake these requests in front of you in a quick design timeframe, therefore there may be initial errors within these requests, and we are not liable for any error with these ad-hoc revision requests within your meetings.
L22.2. You will still be required to complete your revision requests via the online form, and authorise your revisions to request approval.
L23. Due to the nature of revisions, we cannot anticipate any of your revision requests' timeframes.
L24. The client shall have the right to approve or reject the instructions to instruct the Architect/Consultants to undertake the revision request.
L25. If the client rejects the approval of undertaking the revision request, the Architect/Consultant has no obligation to make the requested changes.
L26 If the client approves of the instruction to undertake the revision request, the Architect/Consultant shall proceed with the requested changes in accordance with the client's instruction in line with the terms of this Agreement.

The Client's Process for Communicating and Documenting Revision Requests:
L27. The client should undertake the revision request via: www.architecturenorth.co.uk/clients-area/revision-requests
L28. The client should specify the details of the requested changes in writing in a clear and concise manner.
L29. The client may include any necessary attachments or supporting documents within their revision request.
L30. The Architecture North Ltd will review the revision request and respond to the client by email within the agreed-upon timeframe specified in the contract.
L31. The response may also include any potential impact on the project schedule timeline.
L32 If the client agrees to the proposed revisions, they must provide their approval by signing off by their Client-Sign Off Link.

Change Order.
L33. The Architecture North Ltd will create an official change order document that includes a description of the proposed revisions, the revised scope of work, the project schedule timeline, and any other pertinent details related to the change.

Client Approval of Revision Request.
L34. The client will demonstrate their approval and acceptance of the revised proposed scope of work by signing off through their Client Sign-Off Link.

Passes or Multiple Passes.
