Document background
The Architecture Letter of Intent serves as a crucial preliminary document in Danish construction and development projects, establishing the foundation for formal contractual relationships between architectural service providers and their clients. It is typically used when parties have reached a general understanding about a potential architectural project but need to document their intentions and key terms before proceeding with detailed contract negotiations. The document includes essential elements such as project scope, preliminary fee structures, timeline expectations, and basic obligations while maintaining flexibility for future negotiations. Under Danish law, while not typically legally binding in its entirety, certain provisions like confidentiality and exclusivity may create immediate obligations. This document type is particularly valuable in complex architectural projects where detailed contract negotiations may take considerable time, allowing parties to demonstrate commitment while finalizing terms.
