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.
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.
