ARCHITECTURAL FEES

We charge fees for architectural services, based on the AIBC’s tariff of fees, which requires us to charge fees of about 4-15% of construction cost depending on project type and complexity. depending on project type, we propose to charge either hourly fees or fees as a percentage of construction cost.

before we provide a proposal, we discuss the parameters of your project and help you to understand the design process. We typically set out fees for each design phase as a percentage of the fees for the entire project, asking our clients to confirm design and budget at the conclusion of each phase, each confirmed budget serving as the basis for the next phase’s fee:

Schematic Design (SD) 20%

Design Development (dd) 20%

Construction Documentation (cd) 30%

Construction Procurement (cp) 5%

Construction Administration (ca) 25%

we sometimes provide sd-cd services without participating in construction. We also complete renovation design, legal consulting, furniture design, construction management, and carpentry at hourly rates.
