OUR SERVICES AND FEES
OUR SERVICE IS BASED ON THE RIBA PLAN OF WORK
This sets out what clients should expect from their architect.
We charge our fee on a % of the estimated cost of the scheme and finally, at the same % on the cost of the finished job. The fee will vary from about 14% to 17.5% on works involving existing buildings, buildings in conservation areas and listed buildings, but will be lower % for new build on a clear site......
