It’s important to know what you’ll pay to have a professional take on your building project – here’s the lowdown.
The Value Of Using An Architect
First-time developers Gary and Lesley Powell from Dorset have paid £5,000 in architect fees without a single brick being laid for their new home. But the couple, who are hoping to build a three-bedroom bungalow in Lesley’s mother’s back garden to accommodate their growing family, say it’s been worth it.
‘We don’t have the time or experience to deal with it,’ says Gary. ‘Our architect’s come up with the design, conducted site visits, met with local planners, dealt with a tree preservation order and submitted drawings for planning consent. We wouldn’t have been able to get this far without his knowledge,’ he says.
How An Architect Can Save You Money
Richard Brindley from industry body RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) agrees that using an architect can add far more to your project than the cost of fees. ‘Your extension, renovation or new build will undoubtedly benefit from their creative design flair, technical experience and effective management of your development process,’ he says.
Plus an architect can help save you money during the project by advising on financial matters, coming up with the best design for your budget and getting competitive building quotes.
‘Over the longer term they can make your build energy efficient and so save on running costs,’ says Brindley. A great design should also increase your property’s market value and saleability, too.
How Much Will I Pay?
There is no standard or recommended fee scale says Brindley. ‘The fee for using an architect will reflect the degree of personal service, and bespoke design that your project involves,’ he says. Other factors include the size, type and location of your project and the size, type and location of the architect’s practice.
Your fee arrangements will also depend on how much information is available about your project at the time, and whether you select all or part of an architect’s service. You can choose to have just an initial design discussion or hire an architect to oversee the completion of a project on site. Here’s how it works:
1. Percentage Of The Build Cost
The traditional way to pay is as a percentage of the total construction cost. So if you want an architect to work with you on a project from start to finish, expect to pay between 8 per cent and 12 per cent, whereas employing an architect only up to planning permission costs between 3 per cent and 5 per cent, according to RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects).
Hugo Tugman, founder of www.architect-yourhome.com, says you need to keep your costs in check with this method. ‘If you overspend on build costs your architect fees will also go up proportionately. For the majority of small-scale domestic projects such as an extension, this traditional service isn’t very relevant and you may end up paying for unnecessary services,’ he warns.
2. Time Charges
For an initial discussion, a survey or party wall advice, you will be quoted an hourly rate together with an estimate of the time required. Rates vary, but on average you’ll pay £52 for an architect, rising to £90 an hour for a firm’s partner’s services says The Architects Fees Bureau.
‘Many architects will give you a one-off consultation, and that’s really worthwhile,’ says George Clarke, architect and presenter of The Home Show. ‘For a couple of hours you’ll get enormous amounts of knowledge, and that can add a huge impact to your job. That’s worth thousands of pounds, and it’s like gold dust.’
3. Lump Sum
In this case, the fee is fixed for an agreed package of work. Any additions to the package can either be negotiated between the architect and client, or if the additional work needed is hard to assess, by applying an agreed time charge.
4. Pay-As-You-Go Basis
This is a relatively new way for a client to work with an architect developed by architect-yourhome.com. ‘Homeowners are able to pick and choose only those services that are required. As you involve the architect as much or as little as you like, it’s easier to control costs,’ says Hugo Tugman.
‘Plus as all the fees are known up front, so your costs will not spiral out of control as they aren’t dependent on other charges such as build costs. You pay the cost of an initial visit followed by an hourly rate for subsequent activity,’ he says.
Do Fees Differ From Region To Region?
The location of architectural practices will affect how much you’ll pay. Fees in Northern Ireland, the Midlands, East Anglia, Wales and Scotland are the lowest in the UK, according to the annual survey by the Fees Bureau.
‘There’s nothing to stop you hiring an architect from Wales if you live in the south, say, except of course the distance factor,’ says Julian Owen, a Nottingham-based architect and author of Home Extension Design. ‘It would usually have to be a big project with a generous fee for an architect to travel.’
Get It In Writing
It’s vital you establish your architect’s fees from the start. You’ll also have to pay his or her expenses such as the cost of travel, copying drawings, models and planning applications. Payment of fees and expenses should be outlined in the formal written agreement between the architect and client.
Don’t forget you’ll have to budget for planning fees, building costs (labour and materials), bathroom and kitchen fittings and a contingency sum of at least 15% for any unforeseen work.
When Do I Need To Pay?
Your architect should provide a proposed schedule of payments at the outset. This schedule will help you plan for the financial requirements of the budget.
‘An architect who is retained for the entire project will typically invoice one third of the fee during the design stage, the same at the construction information stage, and the balance during and following construction,’ says Richard Brindley.
‘Invoices are usually monthly, but regular payments can be budgeted over a period. Alternatively, fees might be paid on completion of each work stage.’
Working With Architects
Working with an architect How much does an architect cost, and what do you get for your money? These questions may seem simple, but they have many answers--depending on the nature and circumstances of your project.
What are you paying for?
A good architect brings both imagination and expertise to the task at hand, and can provide for both short- and long-range objectives. He or she can offer approaches or solutions you might never think of on your own. In addition to supplying the design, your architect can also give you professional guidance through the construction phase of your project.
In the words of one architect, "We provide a service, not a product." Thinking of architectural plans as a commodity is a common misconception. As the client, you do receive copies of drawings and plans, but the architect holds a copyright on the originals (and also bears responsibility for their accuracy).
You are paying for the time that the architect must take to analyse your requirements, define what you need and want, develop and revise the design, co-ordinate the permit process, and ascertain that the project is built according to the plans and specifications. You are also paying for something less quantifiable: the skill to create functional but unique living spaces that are responsive to you, the client; to the site; and to the climate in which the project is built.
From the outset, it's important to ask about fees and have some sense of price range. It's equally important to feel that you and your architect can establish good communication and a sense of trust and mutual respect; this part of your hiring decision is personal and subjective, something you might come to only after interviews with several architects.
Discuss with your Architect
You should discuss with your architect about your expectations. You need to tell him about requirements, function of the extended space, number of rooms and other things. Be flexible with your requirements and expectations.
If you’re looking for an architect you’ve probably read the 20 things to ask an architect article published on our Article & Guide Page. While this is a good list, it doesn’t address all the issues that need to be considered today. Architecture is a rapidly changing profession, especially in the realm of software. Many firms have yet to make the significant investment necessary to be at the forefront of their industry. It is also a profession that balances art and science, and requires good communication and organisation skills. While it’s difficult to assess whether a particular architect will meet your needs, here are nine ways to help:
Visit the architect’s office
An architect’s office can say a lot about their design aesthetic and creativity. Typically, though, first meetings with a client will be at their project site, so you may not have an opportunity to see the architect’s office. Consider scheduling a visit at the architect’s office within a few days of the initial meeting.
A disorganised architect’s office might be a red flag
An architect has to organise hundreds, if not thousands of pieces of information, and a disorganised office might be a big red flag. However, don’t confuse artist creativity with disorganisation. Models or model building supplies, trace paper and sketches can be a sign of real creativity, but project information is normally stored in binders and filing cabinets. Large piles of unsorted paper are probably not a good sign.
Ask your architect if they are using 3D software (the answer should be ‘yes’ – then ask them if they are using BIM)
The latest architectural software is called BIM (building information model) and the more sophisticated architects are using this. A house or project designed in BIM is completely or almost completely designed in three dimensions (3D). In addition, in many cases the software can help eliminate errors in co-ordination of drawings since the two dimensional drawings are all ‘extracted’ from the 3D model. The software also keeps track of things like sizes of each door and window, and when a size is changed in one drawing, it is automatically updated in another. This can be a real help in reducing errors.
Education is the foundation of an architect’s experience
While attending a good school can help assure your architect has a good foundation to build upon, usually a better indicator is how an architect did in the school they attended. Many architecture instructors will tell you that 10%-20% of students are really talented designers and few students who weren’t got significantly better as they went through school. To get a sense of how an architect performed in school, ask about design awards they may have won or exhibitions they may have participated in. If you ask about academic performance, differentiate between design studio classes, and non-design studio classes.
Know who you are going to work with
If you are hiring a multi-person firm, find out who you will actually be working with. Many times the person you are interviewing with won’t actually be doing much work on your project. If the person you are going to be working with isn’t in the interview, ask to visit the architect’s office and meet the person or people who will be on your team. Ask to see the credentials of those team members as well.
Architects communicate with drawings as well as words
Look at the architect’s drawings and ask questions about them. It may be challenging to read or understand drawings if you haven’t done this before, but if you can’t understand them after an architect explains them, then either the drawings are not very good, or the architect has a hard time communicating. Both may be red flags.
A complete set of construction drawings includes specifications
Not all architectural information is communicated within drawings. Plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, finishes, expected quality levels, and other information that is easier said in words than in drawings are communicated in written specifications. If your architect doesn’t prepare specifications, then you’ll likely be answering many questions during construction and may be hit with large change orders.
Look at the architect’s website
A well designed, well organised web site can communicate that an architect is organised and can assemble information in a clear format. If their web site is out of date or they don’t have one, this might be a hint that they are behind the times.
Find out how well the architect works with building departments
When you or your architect submits your drawings to the building department, they are typically reviewed and a revision/correction notice is issued. A good architect can easily get a residential or small commercial project through with no revisions or one round of revisions. Since each round of revisions takes time to complete, fewer rounds of revisions means you get your permit sooner. Incomplete or low quality documents could hold up construction. If you’re trying to get your project framed and weather-tight before the rainy season, this could push the project into a season with unfavourable construction conditions.
Hiring an architect is challenging because you can’t ‘test drive’ the end product during the interview. You will only know how the project turns out at its completion. So spend the time to choose a good architect. Interview several and see who you think is qualified and a good personality fit for you. You will be spending a lot of time with him or her so choose wisely!
