Our Fees
Architects fees reflect the degree of personal service and bespoke design that your project involves and the complexity of the project.
Following your consultation with us we will recommend an appropriate fee system for the job as well as providing a fee proposal outlining what we will deliver and all the costs involved.
Architects fees are a small part of the total cost of a construction project. The construction cost is also a small part of the overall cost of maintaining, running and owning the building throughout its life. Our aim is to save you more than the cost of our fees by adding value to your project by increasing market value and reducing construction and running costs.
