Written mandate and proposal
Quebec trade rule for interior design and architecture.
The rule
The scope of the mandate, the phases, the fee structure and the ownership of plans and images are best written down and accepted before work begins. When the client is a consumer, the Consumer Protection Act (Loi sur la protection du consommateur) may apply to your service contract. Iris sends the proposal your team has drawn up and keeps a record of what was proposed, signed and approved, without ever changing its terms.
