The RIBA Work Stage 5: Quotation Meeting is a crucial meeting between the project architect team and the client to discuss their project.

During this meeting, the project architect team will provide a comprehensive overview of the project, including the number of site visits, review and certification of payment applications from the contractor, and management of any changes or issues that arise during construction.

The quotation scope of services will be outlined in detail to the client, and any questions from the client will be documented and answered.

It is important to note that Architecture North Ltd must be appointed for RIBA Work Stage 5 Scope of Services prior to the appointment of the main contractor, unless under specific circumstances.

The contractors will then provide their quotation for the works to be carried out, which will include a breakdown of costs, timelines, and any conditions or exclusions.

The project architect team's quotation will include the fee for their services, which will be based on a percentage of the overall construction cost, typically ranging from 5% to 15%.

Ultimately, the client will make the final decision on which contractor to appoint.
