Frequently asked questions
When do architects issue purchase orders?
Architects issue POs when commissioning specialist consultants (structural engineers, sustainability consultants) or ordering materials for prototyping, sampling, or direct client procurement.
What should an architect's PO include for specialist services?
Include the scope of work, deliverables (drawings, reports, calculations), format and submission requirements, agreed fee, and any RIBA stage references.
How do architects manage procurement for contractor-procured materials?
In a traditional contract, the contractor raises their own POs. Under design-and-build or architect-led procurement, the architect may issue POs directly or via a specialist procurement manager.
