Code de d\u00e9ontologie des architectes<\/a> pr\u00e9voit que l\u2019architecte doit, pendant la conception d\u2019un projet, raisonnablement s\u2019assurer que le budget de son client semble r\u00e9aliste par rapport aux travaux envisag\u00e9s. En cas de doute, l\u2019architecte doit en informer son client. Cette exigence vise \u00e0 favoriser une communication claire et \u00e0 \u00e9viter les mauvaises surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFinalement, il n\u2019est pas rare que des donneurs d\u2019ouvrage exigent dans les contrats de service professionnels des clauses p\u00e9nalisantes si un \u00e9cart non n\u00e9gligeable existe entre les prix soumis et l\u2019estimation de l\u2019architecte. Dans un tel cas, l\u2019architecte devra respecter les obligations qu\u2019elle ou il a contract\u00e9es. Ces obligations ont souvent pour effet d\u2019exiger de l\u2019architecte (et des autres professionnels ou professionnelles) d\u2019apporter des ajustements aux documents afin de faire baisser le co\u00fbt probable lors d\u2019un appel d\u2019offres subs\u00e9quent. Selon les cas, ces clauses peuvent \u00eatre discut\u00e9es et\/ou n\u00e9goci\u00e9es, mais, ultimement, il appartiendra \u00e0 l\u2019architecte d\u2019accepter ou non ce risque en d\u00e9posant une soumission ou en signant le contrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
