2010 Standards of Professional Practice

The 2010 Standards of Professional Practice (SPP) serves as a supplemental regulation under the Architecture Act of 2004 in the Philippines, outlining definitions, acronyms, and guidelines for the selection and engagement of architects. It details various methods for selecting architects, including direct selection and architectural design competitions, while emphasizing the importance of compliance with legal and ethical standards. The document also covers pre-design services, including consultation, feasibility studies, and space planning, to ensure architects meet client needs effectively.
