Our Fee Structure

We charge 8% of the estimated build cost for architectural design services. 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.

For example, if you are building:

  • A Basic Home of 2,000 sq. ft. at $250/sq. ft.:
