FIGURING OUT ARCHITECTS’ FEES
Typically, an architect’s fee is calculated as a percentage of
the project’s final cost of construction. Architects’ fees range
from 10 to 20 percent for residential projects. However,
when you first start the design process, it is difficult, if not
impossible to accurately determine the final construction
cost. During this initial time period (before a good estimate of
the final project cost is possible) the architect may charge an
hourly fee. An architect may also ask for an up front retainer
to begin work. Keep in mind that the final cost of construction
is not the total project cost. Total project cost is the sum of
hard costs (construction) and soft costs (fees and testing).
For budgeting purposes you should assume that soft costs
are an additional 25 percent of the total hard costs.
