Good contractual arrangements are an essential component of a sound professional practice. A clear and complete contract creates a mutual understanding of expectations.

ASLA Standard Form Contracts are a business tool developed to meet the needs of the profession by incorporating up-to-date critical elements of instruments of service. Contracts are tailored for landscape architecture professionals and the clients they serve.

The standard contracts package contains:

• Two standard contract forms
• Brief guidelines describing the contracts’ basic provisions and the attendant risks of particular clauses.*

The two contracts and corresponding guidelines are sold as an electronic package and licensed annually on a graduated fee scale, based on the purchasing firm’s size. During 2010, ASLA is extending the special price of $50 for Tier 1 firms.
