Architectural Design Process


Every project is unique, with its own set of goals, site conditions, and design challenges. For that reason, we begin with an initial on-site consultation to evaluate your project, understand your needs, and determine the appropriate scope of work.

After this meeting, we can provide a detailed proposal and fee estimate tailored to your specific project.


As a general guideline, architectural fees typically range from 5% to 8% of the total construction cost, depending on factors such as project complexity, size, and level of customization.
