for every 

project ... 


ACE Agreements 2009 

ACE Agreements are the industry-standard documents for the appointment 

of consultancy and engineering professionals. In these new 2009 editions of 

the agreements, the original principles of the ACE Agreements are maintained 

but the documents have also been updated and simplified. This means 

more user-friendly Agreements, offering greater versatility for both clients and 

consultants. 

New features 

• Both client and consultant can tailor-make the services to match the 

requirements of a project; 

• Sold in packs of five, the Agreements are intended to be working 

documents rather than separate sources of reference; 

• The Memorandum has been made self-explanatory and is easier to 

complete; 

• Agreements can accommodate any size of consultancy commission; 

• Agreements are now multi-functional and able to accommodate the 

presence of a project manager and/or a lead consultant in the team; 

• Both client and consultant are able to introduce personnel with delegated 

powers to run a project whilst at the same time leaving overall responsibility 

at senior managerial level. 

Updated features 

• A default limit of liability of ten times the fee has been introduced; 

• The client’s brief has been introduced into the Agreements. 

• A programme for undertaking the services has been introduced. 

• The schedule of fees has been expanded and clarified to accommodate 

• Time charges 

• Lump sums 

• Percentage fees 

• Fees for additional work 

• Fees for arranging work to be undertaken by others 

• Payment of expenses 

• Payment for collateral warranties 

Easy to use 

All the ACE Agreements and Services are sold in handy tear-off packs of five 

to make the documents easier to use. The separate Services documents (see 

overleaf) mean that both client and consultant can tailor-make the services 

to match the requirements of a project, offering even more flexibility and 

versatility when using ACE Agreements.
