After several years of development, the BIID worked with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) to publish two new client contracts, both of which of which are specifically designed for interior design projects.
Launched in October 2020, the RIBA/BIID Professional Services Contract: Interior Design Services is available in two versions:
- ‘Concise’ for small commercial projects
- ‘Domestic’ for residential projects for ‘consumer’ clients.
