Assembling a Collaborative Project Team
Schedules of Services
Schedules of Services are required to cover the tasks that cannot be inferred from
the agreed Design Responsibility Matrix incorporating Information Exchanges.
Schedules of Services:
• define management tasks that have to be undertaken
•allow the project lead or the lead designer to allocate supporting tasks to
various roles
• underline the client’s objectives
•ensure that project handover duties are properly coordinated and considered, and
•help to align the Building Contract with the professional services contracts.
More specifically, Schedules of Services:
•ensure that any tasks required by the project lead to assist in the management
of the project are included in the contracts of the relevant party (for example,
particular meetings and their frequency or the need to produce programmes
and reports)
•ensure that the tasks required by the lead designer to check that any
coordination or integration obligations are adhered to and included in the
professional services contracts of the other design team members (for
example, when an elemental cost plan is produced)
•ensure that due consideration has been given to any particular tasks that
the contractor may require to be carried out in order to comply with internal
processes (for example, preparing minutes of meetings with specialist
subcontractors or producing Design Programmes in a particular format)
•can be used to contractually underline both the client’s requirements for
Project Outcomes or Project Objectives and the specific tasks that the client
requires to facilitate these at each stage (for example, undertaking design reviews
or measuring the developing design against the desired outcomes), and
•are necessary to ensure that any tasks required in Stages 0 and 1 or Stages 6
and 7 are clear (for example, the need to attend a post-occupancy workshop or
carrying out a specific Post-occupancy Evaluation).
The appendix provides a multidisciplinary Schedule of Services for each stage
of the RIBA Plan of Work 2013. The tasks are derived from the activities stated
in the RIBA Plan of Work 2013. These schedules can be expanded as necessary
to cover the points set out above using the online tool available at www.

For those generating bespoke Schedules of Services, some subjects worth
considering are listed below.
