We asked the experts, so you don’t have to! Learn what an architect is, how much they cost, and whether or not to use one for your next project.
“It’s advisable to stress the immense value architects bring to the table,” says Audrey Whisker, Principal Architect at Whisker Architecture.
Architects primarily focus on structural design and compliance, with extensive education and training. Their fees typically range from 5% to 8% of total construction costs, depending on the project scope and complexity.
Audrey recommends filling out a master report early to confirm the project scope and budget, aiding in overall cost estimation.
“Architects not only contribute to the aesthetic and functional aspects of a design but also navigate regulatory hurdles, ensuring the project meets quality standards,” continues Audrey.
“Collaborating with an architect enhances the overall success and satisfaction of the project.”
