What do architects charge for their services?
Every project is different, and the architectural fees are commensurate with the level of services requested. An architectural fee of 3% of the project’s construction cost is a good ballpark figure for a set of permit ready documents although architectural fees can be as low as 1% and as high as 10% of the construction cost. Some architects charge a square foot price typically between $1.50 and $8 per square foot. At Curtiss W. Byrne Architect, LLC, contracts are typically structured so that the design time is billed hourly and the construction document time is a fixed fee based on the square feet of the project.
