What Every Architectural Contract Must Include
New York architectural agreements fail in predictable places, and the AIA forms do not address them. Indemnity. General Obligations Law § 5-322.1 voids a provision requiring a design professional to indemnify another party against that party's own negligence. Owners who import indemnity language from their construction contracts routinely draft a clause the statute will not enforce. Time. A professional malpractice claim in New York runs three years, and pleading it as breach of contract does not extend that. The clock starts when performance is complete, not when the defect appears. New York also has no statute of repose for design professionals — meaning there is no outer date after which exposure ends, only the accrual rule. Who signs. Architectural services in New York may be rendered only by licensed individuals or by professional entities authorized to hold that license. An agreement executed by an ordinary business entity can create problems for the firm's own fee claim. Insurance. Professional liability coverage is written on a claims-made basis, and additional insured endorsements do not extend to it. Owners who assume they are covered under the architect's policy are usually mistaken about which policy they mean.
