Architectural contracts with Claude: define the commission before clauses. Method, fictional example and checks against the French project record.

Prepare an architectural services contract with Claude →
The contract organizes each party’s obligations. Define phases, deliverables, client-supplied inputs and boundaries first. The pack supports complete or partial commissions, not mandatory inclusion of every phase. Supply the version of any professional template and identify adapted clauses. Referring to the Ordre does not certify that generated text matches its template. Connect fees and deadlines to the stages actually commissioned.
Prepare the project inputs
Verified identities, project, included phases, agreed fees, timing and selected contract template. Keep reference copies and identify their versions. Missing inputs must remain visible before generation.
Fictional example to check
Fictional example: the client commissions studies and an authorization application without site supervision. The scope boundary must appear in the purpose, deliverables and fees. A generic construction-supervision clause elsewhere would create a contradiction.
Review before use
The Ordre explains the importance of a written contract. Review the draft for the actual commission, verify insurance and identities, and separate approval from signature. The pack prepares a document, not the parties’ agreement.
Official reference for the French context : Ordre des architectes — contrat avec le client.
