Our Fee Structure

Each project is unique and not all projects will be charged the same. Our fees start at 8% of the estimated build cost for architectural design services.  For larger projects the % fee may be reduced.  For smaller projects the fee may be increased. The build cost is determined based on the type of home you are planning to construct, as follows:

​

Build Cost Categories

​

  1. Basic Home

    • Definition: A straightforward, functional design with standard materials and minimal customization. Typically includes basic finishes and fixtures.

    • Average Cost: $200-$300 per square foot.

  2. Moderately Custom Home

    • Definition: A semi-custom home with upgraded materials, enhanced design elements, and some unique features. May include higher-end finishes, more complex layouts, or energy-efficient upgrades.

    • Average Cost: $300-$600 per square foot.

  3. Luxury Custom Home

    • Definition: A fully custom design with premium materials, intricate details, and high-end finishes. Often includes advanced technologies, custom craftsmanship, and luxury amenities.

    • Average Cost: $600-$1000+ per square foot.

​

How Fees Are Calculated

​

For example, if you are building:

  • A Basic Home of 2,000 sq. ft. at $250/sq. ft.:
    Total Build Cost: $500,000
    Our Fee (8%): $40,000

  • A Moderately Custom Home of 3,000 sq. ft. at $300/sq. ft.:
    Total Build Cost: $900,000
    Our Fee (8%): $72,000

  • A Luxury Custom Home of 5,000 sq. ft. at $500/sq. ft.:
    Total Build Cost: $3,000,000
    Our Fee (8%): $240,000
