Our total fees for full architectural services typically range from 10% to 15% of construction cost. For example, a $400,000 project would typically incur $40,000–$60,000 in design fees.

To reduce upfront risk, we offer Phase I (Master Plan & Cost Study) for an average fee of  $8,000 - $12,000 for smaller projects and $30,000 - $50,000 for larger projects. This fee provides clients with conceptual design, drawings, and a bidding package.

Sample $8,000 Breakdown:

• $2,500 – Existing conditions, measurements, initial work session
• $1,000 – Scaled plans and budget sketch
• $1,000 – 3D model for massing
• $1,000 – Exterior elevations
• $1,000 – Lighting and electrical layout
• $1,000 – Renderings and bid package
• $500 – Bid review meeting

This lets clients make informed decisions before committing to the full design process.
