Royal Architectural Institute of Canada's Competition Documents
OAA Council has endorsed the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada's Competition Documents as a guide to conducting architectural competitions in Ontario. In accordance with Regulation 27 under the
Architects Act, an Open Competition for a building project within Ontario must be approved by the Council of the Ontario Association of Architects in order for Ontario architects to participate. OAA Council will utilize the RAIC's Competition Documents as a guide in approving an 'Open' Competition. It should be noted however that the term 'Open Competition' as defined in Regulation 27 is referred to as 'Limited Competition' within the RAIC's Documents. This difference is noted in the body of the RAIC Document. A 'Limited Competition' as defined in Regulation 27 is referred to as Invited Competition in the RAIC's Documents.

Why use Standard Documents?
  • balanced documents - they're designed to avoid favouring one party over the other
  • have stood the test of time in most cases, have been tested in the courts
  • the industry is both familiar and comfortable with them - unique or "custom" documents demand valuable time to read, understand, cross-reference - often require review by legal and other experts
  • enjoy the benefits of having broad input - "many eyes" - including beyond our profession
Why use the current version?
  • outdated documents may have content that is obsolete, or which has been improved
  • avoid infringement of copyright through copying outdated documents, which are no longer available
  • current documents are certain to be coordinated and compatible with other current documents
