Common questions
For most projects we propose a fee as a percentage of construction cost (typically 8–15% depending on type and scope) or a fixed fee for a defined scope; smaller studies are hourly. You receive a clear written proposal with phases, deliverables, and fee before any work begins. The figures on this template are illustrative.
Five: Pre-Design (programming & feasibility), Schematic Design (the big moves), Design Development (resolving structure & systems), Construction Documents (the complete buildable set), and Construction Administration (staying on through construction to occupancy). Our Process page walks through each.
