How much do Architects charge?

Cost is always an early consideration, and our instinct will often push us towards the lowest fee. It is important however, to consider value, particularly in the case of such a long-term and costly investment like construction work.

Fees will vary depending on the location and complexity of each project. Typically though, architects charge between 7-10% of the overall construction cost of the project.

Clients/End-users generally need more than just a drawing service. A good architect will offer budgetary advice and consider technical issues from the outset, and often raise the value of land by a multiple of their fee, through the design process and by securing planning consent.


"A good architect pays for themselves more than once"


At KUFIC, we have developed a formula to calculate fees based on the time it takes us to prepare the documentation for your project. This makes us competitive, without compromising on service.

We are covered by a proportionate level of professional indemnity insurance, maintained for the duration of the liability period after project completion, 6 or 12 years depending on the terms of the contract.
