How Much Do Architects Cost?

One of the most common questions we get is, “How much do architects cost?” The answer varies depending on the project’s complexity, size, and scope. Generally, architectural fees range from 5% to 12% of construction costs. However, this percentage can fluctuate based on the level of service and scope of the project.

To make architectural services more accessible, many firms (including ours) offer a phased approach. This means you’re not committing to the full scope of services upfront. Instead, you can start with initial design concepts, feasibility studies and zoning analysis, or permit drawings before deciding on full construction documents and construction administration services.

Every project is unique, and the best way to understand costs for your specific needs is to reach out. Consultations are always free.
