structural fee percent of total fee
its ok to be like that 17% up to 20% in particular structures but in houses may be les about 10 up to 15%if it is a villa should be more a pit but if it is a multistorey should be 17% around this depents too.
fee changes as a percentage of construction cost depending upon type of work. for general commercial work, about 1.0 to 1.3 percent of construction cost (or about 15 to 20 percent of the architect's fee). in residential work, the percentage goes down.
if doing specialty work without architect's involvement (i.e., industrial remediation, failure remediation, etc.) the fee can be anywhere from about 4 percent to 10 percent of construction cost, depending on need, size of project, and complexity. if contract admin. is thrown in, the fee goes up by about another 1 to 1.5 percent.
as with anything else, we sometimes have to work for less, rarely more!!
don't you agree that the architect's fee is a bit too high?
i don't agree with longisland. a dedicated architect gives everything he or she has got to the project. the final arbiter is the commercial success of the project. there are many examples where the commercial success can be directly sheathed home to the architect. the fees are peanuts by comparison.
as a practicing a/e i agree with engcomp.
in southern california architects fees run from 5+% for commercial to 15+% for residential alterations. from this the architect allocates compensation to structural engineering, plumbing engineering, hvac engineering, electrical engineering, and the landscape architect. also these fees can include public hearings and conferences with building officials. a lot of work to be done!
