How much does hiring an Architect cost? 

We charge hourly during an initial Concept Phase to help define your project. This may be waived if you know exactly what you want and have a generous budget. Once that’s complete and we’ve agreed on a scope, we’ll put together a lump-sum proposal for the rest of the work.

In the United States, Architects’ fees typically average between 8% and 12% of the Construction Cost. The percentage depends on the project and the scope of services; it is lower on larger projects or for smaller service offerings.
